Chainsaw advice please

[kram]

Its a bad idea for somone new to chainsaws, to jump straight in with a 70cc, cutting 3ft diameter logs. Suggest you get some experienced help for it, or atleast some basic training if you havent had any!

 

When Farmertec had an offer, I got my G372XP clone for £151 delivered. Prices have gone up a bit, but I'd buy one again.

However the G372, on bigger stuff, is not the quickest saw. 
Possibly a G660 or G395. Or G3120 is tempting.

No need to apologise at all. I'm impressed that you have persevered with a battery machine on timber that size! The 'right' sized pro saw is going to cost you around £1500 so you really need to look at if your going to be cutting timber that big on a regular basis, if you can down size or if its worth getting someone in to help you out. You could opt for a lesser brand but I have no clue on performance of those type of machines.

 

A good second hand 066/MS660 would be my choice if not buying brand new.

I dunno, I think its safer to use a big machine IMO, smaller saws are easier to throw about and abuse. A big saw with a big bar demands that you use it correctly

Yeah, I think I ate too much cheese after dinner 😃 it was just heartburn, went away within minutes once I’d stopped laughing. 😆 

 

Might keep my one remaining Makita 18v battery that holds charge on standby so I can lick it if I need a defibrillator! 😂🤣
