Stihl Farm boss http://www.stihlusa.com/products/chain-saws/farm-and-ranch-saws/ms290/ Husqvarna Rancher http://www.husqvarna.com/us/products/chainsaws/455-rancher/ Echo CS-450 http://www.echo-usa.com/Products/Chain-Saws/CS-450 The Husky can be purchased at Lowes. The other saws need to be sourced from a local or online dealer. You will not be happy with a lesser saw if you cut more than 10 minutes at a time. I am unsure of your age, but I am in my fifties and the vibration attenuation alone provided by my Stihl is worth every dime. I cannot afford the "pins and needles" of carpel tunnel at this time in my life. Also of note, the chains these saws are equipped with are fine for those that are unaccustomed to handling a chainsaw, but are unacceptable for any real woodcutting. I imagine they are mandated by government regulations to protect people from themselves, and the company's from predatory attorneys (present company excepted). You want pro chain like this. http://www.oregonproducts.com/pro/2013Catalog.htm Rick Sent from my iPhone _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
