Can't comment on Olea. Here in Canada, it's Stihl or Husqvarna in the bush. Everything else is a child's toy IMO. It depends what your going to do with it and how much you will be using it. If you're just cutting firewood a few times a year then you could probably save some money and go with a little smaller engine. If you're using it for bigger tasks or using it everyday, then I would say minimum 50cc engines. The Husky 350 will take a 13 inch to
20 inch bar. Remember that the longer the bar, the more horsepower you need to move the chain around it. So only go with the longest bar you need. Try to get your dealer to throw in a face shield/ear protection helmet. There are no short cuts to safety, especially with a chainsaw. "Keep your stick on the ice" Tony Ontario Canada- posted
