I need to buy a homeowner grade chainsaw for light tree trimming and such, so I don't need a monster saw.

SO what do you guys who own one, recommend, and where's the best deal to be found?

Thanks

look around @ Local pawn shops Dave

I'd prefer new, but that is a good idea that I had not considered.

If it's just for light trimming, why not pick up an eletric/battery power saw. Nice and quiet and still can get the job done.

plus good for the ozone^^^^

electric is an option...I do prefer gas just cause it makes more noise and mess, kinda like nitro

Gas let's me be more mobile with it, is all.

throw a lipo in it Dave, 6cell 8000Kv & never look back

polan SP? is a good chainsaw menards sells them pretty cheap.

Get a Toro...they last forever

Stihl are nice but quite expensive. An equally nice and slightly cheaper option is a Husqvarna. That is what my dad ended up picking up and he loves it. Amazing how many trees you can find to "trim" (Read: Cut Down) with a new chainsaw. Never had a single problem with it either.
