Styles of Chain Saws

Consumer chain saws are only targeted at people that want to use them on an occasional basis. These do have some pretty advanced features which are only normally seen on the professional models however they are much cheaper. The reason for this is because they are not as powerful, however for occasional use they might be fine.

Standard chain saws look like the professional models, they are much more powerful than the consumer models but are cheaper than professional ones. These are well suited to general use. These are great for people that own a lot of land and need to cut down trees on a regular basis. These are also ideal for use on the farm as they are durable and powerful.

Professional saws are just that, they're designed to be used every day as part of someone's job. They are very heavy duty and can put up with daily use. You can purchase heavy duty or light weight units depending on your aim.

Compare Major Manufacturers of Chain Saws

Husgvarna are a very popular chain saw manufacturer, they produce saws in a number of different styles and sizes. I recommend the 137 model as it is fairly cheap but good quality. This saw is quite small and easy to handle, it's great for light duty purposes around the home.

If you want a more professional model then I would go for the 346XP model, this is much more powerful and has a slim line body. This chain saw is available in several different sizes. This is a great chain saw for heavy duty use. The largest saw which Husgvarna produce is the 3120, this is available up to fifty inch bar size. This is a professional chain saw and can cope with rough treatment.

Another very well known manufacturer of such chain saws is Stihl. This German company produces a number of different models. The M180 is well suited to home use, it has the easy 2 start function and adjusting the chain is very quick and easy. This chain saw is very light weight, portable and easy to operate.

If you want to use this for farm use then you should consider the MS290. The chain tension can be adjusted easily through the side access. These chain saws are very reliable and can be used in summer and winter due to the intellicarb carburetor. If you want a heavy duty chain saw then you need to look into the MS880 Magnum pro, this is designed to be able to cope with daily use.

Things to Consider When Choosing Chain Saws

Before buying a chainsaw you need to consider a few important points, firstly how often will it get used? If you will use it on a regular basis then you should you should consider a professional model. If you're only going to use it occasionally then perhaps a consumer model saw will do the job.

Decide which bar length you will need, this depends on the size of trees which you will be cutting. You can normally cut a tree which is double the length of your bar.

You must also consider the size of the engine, the larger the bar, the larger the engine you need. However bear in mind that the larger the engine the heavier the saw will be.
