Bucking logs, with a cord, a battery or gas · review
A serious saw: a 50cc Husqvarna with low vibration and easy starting, for those who cut cords, not armloads.
Husqvarna gives a 50cc 3 HP X-Torq engine, Smart Start, LowVib dampers and an 18 inch bar.
You get a dealer network and proven engine care, which cheap gas saws lack.
Wear chainsaw chaps, eye and ear protection and gloves. Keep the chain sharp, and cut on a sawbuck or log stand, never with a log held by a foot. Read the kickback section of the manual.
