Also, it's very simple and quick to sharpen your own chain(s). I
thought it would be difficult too but when I tried it (with a Dremel
clone, plus attachment, not expensive) it was very quick and easy, I
was pleasantly surprised.

You don't need that, just the correct size of round chainsaw file in
an appropriate holder + occasional use of a flat file with a guide on
the depth gauges of the teeth. Your local chainsaw supplier will
advise you and sell you the right kit. You can do that in the wood.
most operators cut close to the ground - the bigger diameter there
gives you more chance to use a felling lever or wedges to tip the tree
over in the right direction. Get a demo or tuition in using
directional felling techniques and in saw maintenance.
