Thanks everyone for the advise. I bit the bullet today and have ordered a husqvarna 135. Pick it up Saturday

Thanks everyone. I'm getting my head around spending a bit more on a Stihl or husqvarna. Options are Stihl 171 14" or Husq 135 14". Both about £190 and both 14". Husq seems to have bigger engine. What would you choose?

Thanks for the advice. In what ways are the husqvarna and Stihl saws superior? Is it general build quality?

Hi everyone. I have just got a woodburner and intend to cut my own logs. I'm not in a position to spend a fortune on the worlds best chainsaw but neither do I want to waste money on cheap trash that will break after 2 months. I am looking at a McCullough cs360t as recommended by my local garden machinery shop. Now I have a couple of questions. I understand McCullough are owned by husqavarna and so should be well built. It is about £40 cheaper than the equivalent Stihl (£140 vs £180). Is it money well spent or should I stretch to the Stihl. Also is a 14" saw of the size and power that I'm considering suitable or are they only suited to very occasional garden pruning use? I look forward to honest views and please bear in mind I cannot afford a super duper Stihl or husqervana. Thanks
