Chain saw advise

Any advice on what to get

Reliable and few problems

Stihl, Husqvarna, or Echo. That is about your only 3 choices outside of off brand, no part or service available units.

Have not tried echo but after years of saws I think it is just finding the least hassle

 

[Auto Doc's]

Don't buy any from a retail store. Go to an actual selling/ servicing dealer who knows the equipment well.

I would go with Echo oor Stihl.

 

[Bob372]

Are you asking only for which brand, or are you asking power and size too?

If the latter, we'd need a lot more info on how you plan to use it.

I used to be a Stihl guy, but Echo is my choice now.

Stihl and depending on your age if elder get the series with the easy start. get them to show you how to start it.

Echo or Shindaiwa
Shindaiwa and Echo are essentially the same saws. The Shindaiwa will be a little cheaper. Husqvarna is no slouch either.
For me, I will not buy another Stihl product.

Me I prefer my Dolmar saws, but Makita had to screw that up when they stopped making gas products.
