I have never cut trees for a living just around the house. Cut the one with the crosscut with my mother in law on the other end of the saw. She was the only other one there that knew how to make it work. Stay safe and God bless you'll.

I'm a Husky guy, however, all the 4 series saws are to be avoided, absolute crap. Unless you're pro, see if you can grab a good used 350 or 365. The 365 will run you more money but it's an ANIMAL of a saw. I haven't tried any of the 5 series saws, they look to be great but when they fail they'll be too technical for most non pros to fix, and they're expensive. Any good used 3 series is where it's at.

They will run good for a short amount of time or at least when they are cold but when they get hot you can barely get them cranked. What do you think could be wrong with them. They both are about 3 years old. One has a 24” bar and the other a 32” bar. I’ve been thinking that maybe we should switch over to the 572’s.
