New Saw Advice

Evening folks,

 

So, I'm not a professional nor do I tout for work as a "tree surgeon"; I need a saw for cutting sizeable lumps of timber in the round for my woodworking hobby. Cross cutting and ripping. I don't have a mill (as yet!). 

 

That said, I want to buy a 'proper' saw within about a £700 budget that will take a 20in bar. I have considered the Stihl MS362, Husky 565 and 562. 

 

Can't decide what to do! Any helpful advice gratefully received.

If you want to mill you'll need a bigger saw.
90cc would be a minimum engine.
You would be able to cut 28" wide with a 36" bar and mill.
For £700 you could get a second hand stihl 661 or husqvarna 395
You'll also need a couple of ripping chains and a couple of crosscutting chains.
