I bought two Husqvarna chainsaws. Picked up a 550XP and a T435. I got a 20 inch bar on the 550 and a 12 inch on the T435. Had to buy extra chains and cases and all the protective gear. Even bought steel toed boots. Now I'm ready to get out into my woods and cut some trees.
Had a rather spendy weekend

I'd also recommend double hearing protection - ear plugs and muffs.

Hi it sounds like your off too a good start with good equipment I don't know how much experience you have but there is a lot to learn and very easy to get injured and or wreck a saw Cutting with someone with experience can teach you a lot and save a lot of problems

I'm not inexperienced. Just never had a good saw. Now I have two professional grade saws. I never used the protective gear and decided it was time. I bought husky boots, chaps and helmet with muffs and face shield. I had a hard time deciding on Husky vs Stihl. The Husky saws were lighter with more horsepower. I went to a store that sold them both so could compare side by side, Also compared specs on the internet. It came down to a Ford vs Chevy thing. I chose Husky.

I own a very well used Husky, used it now for over 20yrs of tornado & ice storms, brought that saw out to Colorado and have cut a pretty big pile of hard dry pinion and cedar and bug killed ponderosa and spruce with it since last August. I have two Stihls as well, a small one I just bought on sale at Big R farm supple and a big Farm Boss I picked up in a pawnshop cheap before I left KC.
These days, the Husky is my loaner. Let a young couple down the road do their firewood kindling needs with it this week. Time and fuel have deteriorated the plastic on the fuel tank, the threads on the gas tank are getting pretty funky and sticky, you have to use pliars to take the lid off and put it back on, cannot finger turn it any more.
Needing a new chain on it. This dry pinion and especially the red cedar, coupled with living close to the great sand dunes, eat up the chain pretty quick

Don't forget to bring some young bucks along to help move all that stuff.
