Honestly, Denis, in your circumstance it is as much about chains being sharp as it is about the brand of saw.

I have a sharpening jig in my workshop. I actually asked the Mennonites to teach me how best to sharpen chains. I know, but dull blades are the real fool's economy.

I really like pole saws but that may not work for you.

Buy a good brand of chainsaw, new or used, have at least three sharpened chains ready (I have tons) and you should be good to go.
