Used a chainsaw many times over the years - thnink its time to buy one.
I could do with a chainsaw .... have around 150 Leylandi to cut out
The diam of trunk is typically 8" ... a few are larger
Thinking I will take first cut at shoulder not intending to climb tree or use a ladder.
Then do final cut at just above ground level as 2nd cut.
I have a couple of questions - for those that use chainsaws frequently.
Size .... is 16" or18" the most suitable size for this job ?
Make .... looking on eBay, plenty of makes to buy - cheap deals on new ones.
Thinking of avoiding any 'unknown makes'
Of the following any to avoid or are a particularly useful choice (or any particular models of these makes)
McCulloch
Husqvarna
Parker
Sthil (though price may be too high for this make)
Alkternatley as I will not be walkin through the Ginat Redwoods (song there somewhere) would I be better served buying an electric one .. such as

Loads of reviews seem to be very favourable
