Well looking at various equipment the orange colour chainsaws do seem to get better reviews.

You're on the right track there.

I don't think it's Mick.

Proper attention paid to punctuation, which takes several members off the list. Could be me, I suppose.

 

Any guesses?

 

Not yet, but if I was guessing I'd be saying their last incarnation got flushed down the WC

Hello.

I've decided to get a chainsaw and chop up my own firewood.

What chainsaw will I need to get please.

 

 

You really are a prick aren’t you?

So, we are orange...Stihl & Husqvarna are both orange but there are some others that are orange and not so good.

Budget.....do you want new or old, if you purchase a knackered second hand one, can you fix it up? If not, you are needing new and a budget would sort out where you end up. 

Pine trees....8", 12", 15"...3'? I ask as you will really notice the difference between using a 50cc saw and 70cc saw after the first hour or so. If most of your stuff is 1' and under, a 50cc saw will do the job just fine.

Steve, don’t humour him.

 

He had me at shorts and sandals.

I'll go new chainsaw as money is not an issue.

Equipment here is cheap enough.

I have measured my size and think I can manage 18" bar with a fair sized saw .

Considering reviews of chainsaws it will most likely be Husquvarna.

 

 

What would you recommend for longevity and good cutting power on an 18" bar?
