It just missed the garage. I need suggestions for a chain saw that will handle this project. I never had one. I'm thinking under a grand? Thanks.

Battery power seems to be a good deal. Get a extra battery and be good to go. No gas and oil to mess with. Not for full time loggers.I have a 30 year old Stihl that's always been a PITA to start when cold but it's a very good saw. The engine has a compression release - need it to even pull the rope.
Anyway....
ProjectFarm (YouTube channel) tested about eight brands of battery powered chain saw and the DeWalt came out the clear winner even over the Stihl and other major brands. I'm seriously considering buying one for everyday use after watching him cut logs and timbers. ProjectFarm buys everything he tests - caution: watching his channel is addictive.
I recommend stihl. I live at 9000’ altitude and heat with wood. Burn 6 to 7 cords every year and this is year 30. I’m on my second stihl model 351 (I think) and it’s great. I used it today and it fired right up and cuts great. 18” bar is easier to handleIt just missed the garage. I need suggestions for a chain saw that will handle this project. I never had one.
