Dear friends,
I am looking for buying a petrol chain saw for clearing small trees and prune branches. No large trees or branches to be touched! 
Any recommendations on model and size (saw size and hp)?
Such machines are available on rent @ RS 400/hr but it takes an hour to travel to farm from the town.
Thank you.

Satish

Here are my first impressions of Stihl MS180 chain saw purchased over last weekend.
In about four hours two of us used it to cut down 14 small thorny trees, prune few large branches and cut many stumps . All of these were 8-12 inches in diameter. Considering that same task would have taken few days for 2-3 labors I think it is a good investment. Though it costs about 25% more I chose Stihl over a Chinese made chain saw for obvious reasons.

Hi Satish,
The spec of Stihl MS180 claims the power rating of the saw to be 1.5kw.
May i ask if you ran it for 4hrs on petrol engine or electricity? And either ways energy drawn?
Regards
It is a petrol engine. Consumption:
The saw was used for duration of little over 4 hours which includes ON (saw is cutting and engine idle) and OFF cycles. I would guess the ratio of ON vs OFF cycle is around 1:5 or even less; more like (1:6).
The ON cycle depends on the type of wood (hard vs. soft), its moisture content (dry or wet) and diameter of the log(s).
Hope this helps.
