And don't fuck around with homeowner grade. It's not that much more expensive to get a professional tier saw that will run far better and is rebuildable.
Better have gas stored in that case.
You don't need a motorized saw to fell trees. Does make turning them into lumber much easier, but there are ways to make planks without gas or electricity.
A good inventory of saws and axes is a solid investment too.
Can you recommend one? (I prefer electric but I don’t know if there are professional grade versions.) I have an 8 amp craftsman but it does not have good reviews and requires constant adjustments to keep the chain on the rails.
I have a Stihl 362. It's the small end of the professional grade saws.
