I just bought a Husquavana 455 and my brother has a Stihl MS271(farm boss) both are great saws mine does have a little more power his is slightly lighter and better on fuel
both are kickass saws I'd recommend going with a saw with the larger chain if your only going with one saw

I'm a arborist and have lots of experience using and rebuilding chainsaws. Right now I have a Stihl 193t,ms 260, ms 440, ms 660x2 and a ms 880 with 5ft bar. For Husqvarna I have a 540xpt and a 394XP. If I was you I would be looking at trying to find a nice used Stihl ms260 in good condition. In my opinion that would be the best bang for your buck for what you need.

I saw Stihl's big 'Fall Sale' ...the MS250 is on for $450 instead of $470....
The Ms 170 is on for $269...

Yeah. I had a friend who took advantage of that "deal"....
