I have an Echo 650, a two cyclinder model that does not vibrate. You can use it all day without your hands numbing out on you. It is two big for your job unless you have future use. If you are close enough to power, an electric would be ideal. If this is your only job, or chanin saw use will be rare, buy a cheap one. If you want a good one, the Shindowa worm gear electric is good.
If you live close to North Carolina, I would want to take the wood off your hands. By the way, I have not had the guts to use my Echo in several years. But if I had a good enough reason, I would use it.

A electric chain saw would work well, if close to a outlet. A small gas chain saw of 12 inches is easy to handle.

These are wild plumb trees. What type and make of chain saw do you recommend.
