I plan to buy a chain saw soon, but can't decide between gas or electric. The saw will not be used that often, but when used it would probably be all day long. We have older trees that loose some good size branches(4"-12") when it gets real windy. I have two trees that are about a foot in diameter and twenty feet tall that need to be cut down. Other than that the saw will be used for cutting fallen limbs. I have a 6000watt portable generator which I can pull with my riding mower if I went for an electric saw. The majority of my trees are close to my house, within extension cord distance and certainly generator distance. I'm thinking cost wise, maintenance wise, the electric. Then again, power wise, flexibility wise, the gas(although the Remington I'm looking at is 3hp-11.5amps). Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
