Having said that, I have a new favorite limbing/ small tree saw; an echo. tiny light little sucker, but great for sub 4" diameter.
also, get a good chain file, and get good at sharpening. maintain correctly, bar oil, etc...
and most importantly of all. BE SAFE
take a course if you're not completely familiar with felling/ safety techniques, whatever you need to do to keep yourself alive!

I have a husky 345...great saw, i personally don't bother sharpening...new chain is like $15 (oem husky too)
I did tree work when i was younger, don't consider anything that isn't Husky or stihl....
