I got a MS 250 with 16" bar and that will take care of anything that I would ever attempt on my own.

My brother has a MS 270 Farm Boss that he really likes.
MS 250 on Craigslist for $250 right now. The only issue I see is that it comes barred with an 18", which I think is a bit underpowered for that. I actually have a new 16" bar and chain I'd be willing to sell cheap (if you bought used) or swap (if you bought new).
