I have the Husky 335 XP, a little pro saw with a 14" bar. It is a really tough little saw often used by pro tree trimmers who climb trees with their saw hooked to their belt by a 6 ft rope. There is also a comparable (maybe better??) Stihl model. I think you need to evaluate what specific tasks you need/want the saw for and then talk with guys who use them every day, and a good dealer who has both the Stihl and Husky lines. My son has a small Echo w/16" bar and it has held up well, but there is something strange about that saw... and unfortunately I do not remember what it is.
You do not want a small saw for felling. It is safer to get in, cut your wedge quickly, make the back cut and get out of there before an unexpected gust of wind makes the tree fall in the wrong direction.

Well it sure didn't take me long to figure out what it was because I alrea
