I have a small (14" bar) Stihl that has taken a lot of use and still
works great. I also bought a Husqvarna 455 Rancher this year but
haven't had to use it (usually by this time of the year I've had at
least one tree down in the driveway. Feeling lucky so far).

Hi,
Stihl saw. Can't go wrong.

Thanks for the replies. I definitely will check out Stihl. Has anyone had
a John Deere chainsaw? Good reviews or?

www.arboristsite.com has a chainsaw forum- scrol down and you'll find the
appropriate forum- good info there.

Hi, Charly.

No such thing- Deere does not make saws. Most such I've seen (YMWV)
are actually Poulans. Not a problem here- still have a 25-yr-old that
runs like new after many hundreds of hours' use, besides a
current-generation lightweight that I've come to like very much.
Priced waaay below the Yurpeens.

HTH,
John
