Chainsaw recommendations after Oklahoma Ice Storm

[upgrading]

So just out of curiosity are these the current COO's of these saws ?

Husky = Sweden

Stihl = USA

Echo commercial = Japan

I have a Stihl homeowner and a pro saw both were made in US. Most of the higher pro saws are made in Germany I believe.

At one time, three or four years ago, all the Pro saws were made in Germany. No idea what the mix might be today, I do know the plant in Va. is pretty impressive and they employ a boatload of people.

My pro saw is a 261c. I believe the 462 up is still made in Germany. I'm not sure about the 362.

OP,

I think Stihl or Husky, possible Echo would be decent. What size trees are you cutting?

I could recommend a Stihl ms362, but if your cutting 10-12inch diameter trees that saw is overkill.

It seems some of the saw recommendation sizes are trending upward and since this is GJ, a Stihl 090G, MS880 or a Husqvarna 395XP really should be the minimum considered.

If you can pick one of those up.

And then actually get it started.

You forgot the smiley at the end
