[QUOTE="nwsg76, post: 5278550, member: 7241"] Really think about how you are gonna use a chainsaw. Girdling a tree is just cutting into the bark about 2 inches. That doesn't take alot of saw. You want a very light saw to carry all day. Your swinging this saw above your waist and near your chest. You want 100% control. If you are cutting down a tree for tsi...most likely the tree is not merchantable...so likely not a big diameter tree. Thus a light saw with a 16 in bar will likely do. If your cutting down bigger trees for logs or firewood....that means a bigger saw. Think about it this way. Cutting down a tree is one cut. Cutting up a tree for firewood is 20 or more cuts. My Tsi saw is a stihl 170. The only time my stihl 290 is used, is when its time to cut up a big red oak for firewood. But find what suits you and what you want it for. [/QUOTE]
