I'm pretty terrified of the things but since moving to the country with 1/2 acre garden full of mature frees, I'm increasingly feeling it is a fairly essential tool.
I have no delusions of getting up into the trees - the tree surgeon can gladly be paid for that - but chopping up felled wood and pruning are things I can do myself.
An experienced friend had a little look online and reckoned for the Husqvarna 236 (14" bar) at £120 is a great option in terms of size/price - it even comes assembled and checked: https://www.worldofpower.co.uk/husqvarna-236-chainsaw.html
Would others agree?
I already have face protection but not special gloves or trousers or other gear.
Thanks!
