I'm in the market for a general purpose chainsaw.
Models recommended to me are:
Stihl 271
Stihl 291
Husqvarna 455
Husqvarna 465
I've been told that a chain with larger pitch will cut better and last longer.
The Stihl saws have a .325" pitch, the Husquvarna saws have a 3/8" pitch (.375").
Is there really any noticeable difference in the performance or longevity of the chain sizes?
On the difference between the two brands, I've run into many fans of both.
