Which Chainsaw?

I suspect that this is one of the most common questions asked on here, but it's a busy forum, so I'm not sure I could trawl back through for the answer...

 

Anyway - I'm a first time chainsaw use and I need to cut up about 4-5 tonnes of wood a year, say, 12-18 inches in diameter (for splitting).

 

I don't think that's a lot of, compared to a tree surgeon.

 

Can I get away with a £100 chainsaw (KIAM?) instead of £450 (Husq' 346?), or an £80 electric.

 

I know which is better, but which is most cost effective, with servicing etc, even if it needs replacing occassionally?

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Cheers - DEAN.

I've got a husky 345 with an 18inch bar cut all my firewood with it and some! It's a good machine starts everytime, cuts well and its nice a light. I do use a 365 which s good but much heavier.

 

Just keep the chain sharp and it'l do the job, got mine for £100 3 yrs ago.
