I just got back from cutting up a Black Locust tree. The wife went with me to help load it up. On the way home she says she thinks I should look into getting a better saw, she's tired of me "making due" with whatever I get my hands on. I have an 18" Poulan, it runs great but I have to mess with it a bit, the chain won't stay in adjustment. I want to stay with 18" or 20". I know lots of guys like the Stihl saws but what else is out there that is dependable? I have been calling the Home Depot rental but they don't have any for sale now. I don't cut as much wood as alot of you, only a couple cords a year, but if I get a new saw I want it to last. Is there certain models to look for or to avoid? Are there chains that are better, hold an edge longer? Like the title says either a new saw or a good used saw will work for me. What do you recommend?
