I don't know what size mine is, but I got the biggest motor I could find. The 4 stroke craftsman is a hoss but heavy.

The stihl did not last any longer that any wal-mart special I have owned.

Husqvarna and echo are not the same company or maker. I do have an Echo chainsaw, I think that is my 49cc motor. That Echo has a 20 inch bar and it is a eger beaver.

So my advise is to get one powerfull enough to not bog down or you will be going over the same area over and over to cut it. A powerfull model will knock it down on the first pass.

You may not need a powerful one if you only trim a 20 foot sidewalk, then go with electric.

I paid over $350.00 for one of the profesional Stihl models and it burned out in three seasons.

So good luck hunting. I'm just happy mine are working good now (knock on wood)
