I think mine's a Remington, and about $50. The blade's a bit short, but it handles most of what I need to do.

When I'm doing firewood I'd use about 1.75 KWH per hour with a 5hp chainsaw, maybe more like 1.5KWH/hour if I have to move around for each cut.

I do mine differently: usually the places I get it have been logged or thinned, so I don't need to do much cutting out in the field - just to trim some of the logs to pickup lengths. Most of the time is spent loading, then I cut them to fireplace size at home with the electric, which is quiet enough that it doesn't bother the neighbors.
