Chainsaw question:

I inherited a Stihl 029 16" chainsaw when my son transfered to the "city up on the hill." We have 4 or 5 oak trees that are shading our garden. A couple of them are more than 2' in diameter. The 16" is not working properly and I think it is too small? I am thinking of hiring one of those guys who come around every so often and "do you have any trees/limbs that need cutting" to put the trees on the ground and I will work them up. Not going to pay thousands of $$$ for something I can do myself cheaper ... even buying a new saw will save money.

1. A Stihl would have the advantage of being a quality product (I think?) and I would know the location of the repair shop. But, I think it will be more expensive because only their repair shops sell them?

2. You guys have any recommendation? What to avoid? Brands to consider? Size of blade needed? Words of wisdom? Yeah, I could choose the "Gaz" option but this in not a poll, so ...

Thanks in advance!
I have a Husqvarna Rancher 460. It'll cut through just about anything.
