Snedding is limbing up or bucking up a felled tree.

A lot of Aussies call it "docking it up" ... yeah, dock her up mate.

The two saws you have mentioned, sorry can't advise, I only use stihls ... I'd go ms200T for climbing and perhaps a Ms260 thru to Ms460 for docking ... just depends how big the limbs are you have to cut.

Other good and tuff saws that are cheaper are Shindaiwa, Echo, Dolmar, Jonsered ... check them out too. Just look at HP and weight, ask the saw shop to fill them with gas and then turn them upside down see if they leak and see if they start them and see how they run, turn them upside down too when idling see if they conk out!
