For about the past 20 years or so, I've gotten by around the yard with using an electric chain saw. Obviously, the cord is a real hassle, but I've made do with it. Looking around the back yard (approx. 1/2 acre yard), I see a bunch of small saplings and trashy trees (junipers and hackberry) that need to be cut down and cut up for the brush/bulky trash pick up the city offers a couple of times a year. Also, my son and I need to build a couple of deer blinds on the lease this year, and I'm thinking a small gas chain saw might be good for some of the rough cuts that need to be made in building the deer stands.
I'm thinking a small 14 or 16 inch gas chain saw would meet my needs. The cheapest gas chain saws sell for a bit over $100.00 in the big box hardware stores, but do you guys think buying a used chain saw would work for what I need it for? If so, what kind of price range should I expect? What are some of the brands you would recommend?
Your advice and recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
