The Best Chainsaws 2017



I have placed a video below from an aborist.  The best chainsaw is a relative term to price and use.  Personally I am going to focus on the Husqvarna 460 Rancher and the Husqvarna 240 which is a great money saving substitute for the USA made Stihl MS 170.  The Youtuber Manchew references both the 460 Rancher and the MS170 in this video and they are both beasts for what they are.  MAny thanks to him as it is a great informative video.  I would stay with his advice and just save more crumpled paper dollars by going with one or two Husqvarnas, depending on your needs of course.

Yes I may be a bit biased because I am Swedish, but it is all about the quality products that last and paying the least for it.  I left links below to the deals I found on Amazon.  A lot of money to be saved and chainsaws are, lets face it... amazing.   

Husqvarna 460 Rancher 20-Inch 60.3cc 2-Stoke X-Torq Gas Powered Chain Saw (CARB Compliant)
Husqvarna 240 2 HP Chainsaw, 952802154 (16-Inch)

He brings up a great point about the Husqvarna Rancher being very affordable compared to the comparable Stihl models.  

My recommendation for years and years of use are these two models and unless you need some electric or cheaper piece of garbage.  But over the decades, buying a high quality tried and true product is the only way to save money.  That and buying from Amazon and having every retailer as far as the eye can see competing for your business.

I am headed back to Alaska soon and you can bet I am taking my Husqvarna's with me!

All the best to you and yours!
