The best , most powerful you can afford. I am a husky man myself but any good make in the 60cc to 80cc range .

You're going to be looking somewhere £500-£700 for a new one, depending on what it is.

MS 460 is awesome, Husky 390xpg is also good, cant comment on other brands as i have no experience at this size. Also consider; ms660, if funds allow!

If its any help I have a 390xp and it runs a 28" bar and an 8 pin power mate no problems . ( I have every other Husky in the pro range as well ) so can recommend the 390 . Might be more saw than you need but hey !
