[AT] OT Chainsaw recommendations?

I used to work on chain saws for a living.......Here;s my humble 
opinion.....
the Homelite I call a tomato slicer for that is about all they are good 
for......

I use the Stihl and Husqvarna is also good ......if you want a lumber jack 
saw the Johsered......

For what you are doing .pay a couple buck more and never see your dealer 
again unless you need a chain or bar.....
Which ever one you use stick with their oil and good thick bar 
oil.......reason the oil was made for that saw and other oils will lessen 
the life of the saw
