Score yourself a wicked new age Makita or Milwaukee battery saw Rusty mate. Plenty of varying sized Stihl’s you may borrow if out Winnie & Wossco’s neck of the woods

Yeah nice one Nicko very worthwhile investment especially if you need firewood. My advice would be get the best you can afford or just grab something cheapish then update down the track. Pro saws are much better but you get what you pay for and probably overkill for home use but sometimes why not. .

Would advice against anything with a quick chain tensioner or easy start keep it simple and old school i reckon. .

Reckon something round a MS360 or 380 would treat you pretty well. .

Thanks mate, I've seen the 360 for around 400-600 second hand, do you reckon that's reasonable? Or would they be flogged at that price. I honestly have no idea when it comes to chainsaws lol

Always somewhat a gamble second hand but seems reasonable and think that would suit your needs well. I bought my 200T second hand and has been wicked so yeah I wouldn't worry too much. .

Agreed, always a potential carbon glazed dodgey care gamble mate, best though to lateral thinking request a log cut or two trialled before taking home. Wood in theory only cover one issue, your expectations of unknown new true capability for such said saw under hands.
Why do folks sell second hand good saws?

@rusty_nail hey mate if you don't have a site rack for your saw then treat yourself and grab one of these from Aldi. Cheap and functional. Even if you only get a year our and of it you will be thankful for having it.







Make a huge difference getting the job done when your mounted mate. Winner.
