Hi, I'm looking for a new or used saw in the 60cc - 70cc range and I've narrowed it down to either the Echo 7310, Husky 572 or Stihl's 460, 461, 462. I'm looking for a saw that is very reliable/durable and low maintenance.
Between the saws listed above, which have tended to be more reliable/durable with lower maintenance and any fuel efficiency differences between them?
I've owned an older used Stihl 039 that is on it's last legs and I'm looking for a newer slightly more powerful saw.
I live off grid, in a northern cold weather climate. I have two wood stoves, one to heat my home and the other to heat my kitchen stove. I need enough wood to heat my home and stove for at least 7 months out of the year so I do a lot of cutting. I also cut wood with my neighbors, we're in the woods often looking for large fallen trees to cut for fire wood. We put our saws through a lot of work.
