Best 1st saw ???

[Ian88]

Husky 346xp with a 13" bar was my first saw, and my Second Bloody good saw.

Husqvarna 560XPG or 550XPG... My opinion would be not to bother with Stihl, been there will not be going back!

[Big T]

Stihl 260/261 or the Makita equilivant if your starting out and want to buy new without spending the earth!

[Mark Bolam]

I can't comment on the 261, but the 260 was a bad saw.

I find Stihls easier to work on, but I'd lean towards the Husky, 346, 550 or 560.

Husky 550xp or 560xp I'd say .

Makita's are worth a look at, not as main stream as the orange 2, but they are worth considering. Quite a few have them on here including myself.

If you want one saw to do everything, then a 560's probably the way to go.

 

All depends on what you think you'll be doing mostly really.
