I'm not a lumberjack, but I DO have some flannel shirts with holes in them.
The saw I've had the longest is an Echo. It's been ok, but seems to run out of power when you need it. For me it comes down to how much you're going to use a tool, but when it comes to chainsaws, I'll spend the extra $100 and buy the Stihl or other higher quality saw.
Too many times if you're just trimming a tree, you're hanging in a precarious position and the last thing I want is a shitty saw when I'm trying not to fall.
The bar length should be determined by the size of the saw and what you're doing with it. for just working up firewood, I want a larger saw to drop and cut the trunk and a smaller saw for hacking away at limbs because of weight.
