I will be in the market for a chainsaw in the near future, and since I'm not sure what to look for I need all of the help/advice I can get. I would prefer to stick with one of the "premium" brands just in case I would ever need to service or re-sell it, but the only names that come to mind that are "premium" (to me) right now are either Stihl and/or Husqvarna. Are these good, or are they the Bose of the chainsaw world?Normally I would do my own "homework", and I still will, but since I'm sailing into strange waters I thought maybe somebody here could steer me straight and offer some help.
Thanks.
