A Good Chainsaw for Firewood
by Brandon
(Indiana, U.S.)
I am looking into cutting some trees this summer to sell for firewood next year. I was wondering if you had any recommendations for the size and make of a good overall chainsaw to use?
Thanks!

Brandon,
The size saw that you'll need really depends on the size and species of trees that you will be cutting. My general recommendation is to spend the extra money and get either a Stihl or Husqvarna professional chainsaw. The best small models are the Husqvarna 346XP and the Stihl MS260. If you will be cutting larger hardwoods (18"+) you may want to consider buying a larger saw such as a Husqvarna 372XP/371XP or the Stihl MS441. I have used all four of these saws and I believe them to be top of the line in both performance and durability. I hope this helps!
