I have a 450 Husquvarna Rancher I'm pretty proud of. It's close to ten years old. I've never done anything to it except throw away the anti-kick back chain it came with and replace with a full chisel.
I've never touched the motor. Just add gas and oil. Very high rpm engine. Cuts wood like it's butter. It has always started on the 2-3 pull regardless of how long it has been idle. 20 inch bar.
Also have a 16" Stihl that's 4-5 years old. It's a good saw but no compression release and no primer bulb makes it a little cranky to start sometimes.
Be kind to yourself and stay away from the economy brands.
