Now living on 10 acres of 90%+ Forest land with a mix of Hard/Soft wooded trees (Oaks/Cedars/Pines) I am in search for Chainsaws. I know in time I will probably own several but with Black Friday coming up, hoping to find a good deal. Before I throw out $500 I would like to find something in the $300 or less range.
Had a Tree Crew come out a few times and cut down about two dozen or so trees, most dead, and trim branches over our house/buildings and drive. In talking to the owner and crew, they were all in on Stihl but found the Husqvarna 455 Rancher is their go to chainsaw now.
BLADE SHARPENING:
How often?
Oregon has their sharpening tech on their saw, not sure if that is a good thing or does it chew up blades faster? I think their blade has a different design too.
CORDED 15AMP CHAINSAW:
I have been watching videos and reading reviews, and I am a bit impressed with the 15AMP Chainsaws, my question is what size electric cord do they need, as mentioned before looking at 50 to 100 feet where I will be cutting...Do I really need a 12 gauge cord or will a 14 or 16 work? I understand 100 feet would be pushing it, 50 feet should work find for me...
Any help/experiences will be very much appreciated...
