To determine the correct size chainsaw for you, there are a few key parameters that can be helpful, whether you are a first-time buyer or are replacing an old chainsaw that is no longer functional. You need to select a chainsaw that is appropriate for your needs.Â
If you try to save money by purchasing a smaller chainsaw, it will end up costing you more time later if it is insufficient to handle the workload. The downside of buying a bigger chainsaw is that it is heavier, more difficult to handle, and can even make smaller tasks more challenging.
Chainsaw size is determined by the length of the chainsaw bar. The length determines the type of work it is best suited for as well as its volume capacity.Â
To determine the appropriate size for your needs, the first parameter must be understood. Understanding the type of tasks you will need to complete is as simple as that. Do you intend to clear out large trees or simply prune some limbs?Â
To determine the size of the chainsaw that is best suited to your needs, you need to consider the type of work that will be done. Do you plan on cutting down trees for firewood or cleaning up overgrown brush?
You will also need to consider the diameter of the wood you are cutting when determining the size of the chainsaw. When selecting a chainsaw that is too small or even too large, you will make the job harder and more dangerous. This is true whether you are trimming limbs or pruning small trees that could cause a safety hazard. Measure the diameter of the trees you will commonly trim and select a chainsaw bar that is two inches longer than the tree you intend to cut.
