Shindaiwa chainsaw

Has anyone used or know of how this shindaiwa chainsaw prefforms? I've only heard two reports that it has some power. It's a lot cheaper than husky, or st., and that fits my budget.

i'd say give it a try,if your still unsure the stihl 441 and 460 are good saws.

I had one of them .... it's the reason I went to Stihl!

Yes they have power and torque, lower revving than other saws and seem to pull a chain through some gruesome wood at low revs so was good for palms.

On the downside it's heavy and runs like shit aloft, better as a ground saw. Also it's bulky and a PITA to lug compared to slimmer saws, fair dinkum the ole Husky 372 is a real nice saw to lug around a tree.

Up to you, I dont mind them but I hate climbing with them.
