I've just had some trees chopped down and removed, but the stumps were left becauase they were too big/expensive to remove. I plan to dig around them and have a go at cutting them up. One is a thick sycamore, which is solid hardwood. I'm thinking of buying a chainsaw for the job and was wondering what I should look for. Obviously it will have to be petrol, but what size engine? are there any aprticular features which will help with stumps? what are the relevent specs to look for? As I know nothing about chainsaws (or engines for that matter) any advice would be appreciated. Also, would a second hand petrol chainsaw be any good. There are a lot of mccollach ones going in the bargain pages, are they any good?
thanks.
thanks.
