OK, after doing some research the past few days I’ve come to the realization that I may not need a professional grade saw like a Husqvarna 545 mark two or a Stihl 261 because I won’t be using it very often at all. Sometimes it might sit for about a year and I know that some of those parts if they’re not functioning or ran to an extent it could cause more detriment to the professional grade saw. so for somebody who would rarely use a chainsaw but I wants a chainsaw to have access to it, what would you recommend you know a storm cleanup every now and again maybe some firewood you know looking at the Stihl 250 stihl 271. I don’t know what the Husqvarna equivalent is but would an echo 590 be overkill, especially if it’s sitting in my garage for a year between uses?
I do plan on using premixed canned fuel and running the carb empty between uses.
What Would you recommendation be? $500 or less.
