[AT] OT Chainsaw recommendations?

[charlie hill]

I'll vote for Stihl also.  No matter what brand you buy get something from 
the professional line.  Go to a chain saw store and buy one of the smaller 
saws in the pro line instead of even the top end of the consumer line.  It 
might cost you a bit more up front but it'll pay you back many times over.
