Is this for commercial production, or is it for a home owner's needs? If that saw is going to harvest/manage 5+ acres of maturing forest (8+ inches), and the person using it is fit, then go with a pro saw like the Stihl 261 or a Husky 550 xp. I have had both of those saws, and they are good saws for small woodlot management.If you are just using it for a household's annual firewood needs (5 cords or less) or for maintaining a small farm with a bit of woodland, then I say a midgrade "rancher"-style 40-50CC saw may be good enough. If a person has weak arms and legs, it is better to get a lighter saw, and take longer to do the work.Pro saws have good resale value if they haven't been abused. You can always re-sell them.
