ISO "best" chainsaw for homeowner/overland/expedition use.
I won't be felling redwoods or clear cutting the back 40. This is for yard work and trail maintenance.
I'm trying to get an idea if there is some compelling reason to buy a particular brand/model, to spend $200-250 vs $90-120... Ease of maintenance, ease of use, warrantee, basic quality...
I'm not afraid to spend the money, I just want a solid saw that is not overkill and I don't want to throw the money in the toilet buying junk. I understand that at least some of this is personal preference.
(FWIW: I am Warn, never Harbor Freight, kinda guy.)
