Get someone to fell them for you, they'll also dispose of the trunk, brash
and can grind out the stump.

Can you rent a petrol chainsaw for a day or two? That might be a
better idea (and cheaper) than buying a tool that you may only
use this once.

If you buy an electric, make sure you also acquire the items
necessary to keep it very well sharpened. Good chainsaw use
starts with a sharp chain. There's a certain knack to sharpening
them, too, so see if you an find someone to show you how.
