We have some trees/branches on the property that need to be cut up. I need more grunt and cutting time that I get from my little electric chain saw. I need a "real" chain saw. There is a local store that is a "Farm Service Center" that sells everything including Stihl. I think those are well regarded.

I want a decent chain saw that's going to work well and last, but I don't need the best chain saw.

Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should get or what I should look for? Are there any questions that I need to answer to be able to answer this question?

This thing may go a year or two without being used, but then be needed for several hours at other times.

I believe I've seen folks say to get multiple chains so you can swap when one gets dull.

How would I maintain it or set it up for sitting far a year or two?

Thanks for the education.
