Bought a new house, it has a little field and then it has a wooded section. I have an older MTD 4 stroke weedwacker which wasn't running quite right last I looked... sitting outdoors for a few years might not have helped it. Anyhow. Neighbor was doing a little tree work on his side of things, I went over to help, and it looked like he had a setup from Lowes or Home Depot, Craftsman or similar--but with the pole saw attachment. So now I'm thinking of upgrading! For an acre of work (I have 5.5 total but only about 1 is "open") would the $200 or so equipment at Lowe's be just fine? And is the 8" saw attachment "good" or "gimmick"? [I feel like I have enough friends with real chainsaws that I'd rather borrow it or them for any real tree work.]
Undecided on if I want to mess with 2 stroke or 4 stroke; I might buck my usual trend and go 2 stroke. I don't like buying "expensive" canned gas but for something like this I doubt I'll use even a gallon per year--so just live with that price.
