The amount of money you should spend on adding new forestry tools to your collection or repairing existing ones vary drastically. Financially, the most important thing to consider will be the return on investment you will be gaining out of purchasing the tool. It will depend on the type of business and your revenues. Since forestry is a labor-intensive process, the tools will be bearing continuous wear and tear. Investing a good amount initially on the best quality tools will save you from recurring maintenance costs. However, depending upon the level of expected usage of a tool, you may opt for a lower-budget product. For example, you will need to spend from $400-$2000+ on chainsaws if you are a professional logger and intend to use the chainsaw for large trees and extended periods. On the other hand, if you own a small woodlot and need a chainsaw for firewood and occasional purposes, you can get a good one for you under $400.
