Ask this guy:

Back breaking work grubbing out stumps & roots by hand,mainly large firs, done 18, one still to remove in the new garden.
Couldn't get a stump grinder in the garden due to poor access.

Your local dump should have a place to take garden waste, I'd suggest that as more sensible and economical than buying a shredder for the purposes. Although if you've now got lots of logs you might find simply advertising on Gumtree or something will have someone willing to come and take them off your hands - if you're very lucky they might give you some beer money assuming you've chainsawed them into reasonable chunks.
My first thought was that this was a rather extreme reaction to your thread about your wifes boss but I see you started it before that - good thinking there for when an alibi is needed.

Why cut down nice trees?

Why not
Glad you got it sorted op - now have a great big bonfire
Trees are nice things... why cut them down at the bottom of a garden?
Makes no sense to me.

Some people want the extra sun? Or get fed up tidying up the leaves. Or they're destroying their fences?

Yes if it were just for the garden. The OP clearly stated that this was for some good natured gardening AND clearing out of various undead Zombies.
attacked my front hedge with it this afternoon 
epic man points to be had, neighbour is pruning his hedge with an electric hedge cutter, pffft i attack mine with a petrol chainsaw front hedge is now at a reasonable height(ie 4 feet high rather than 7 feet but i still have a lot of hedges trees and general bushy **** to dispose of.
council will take it but i estimate at least 10 van loads of the ruddy stuff. so option is either hire a van and spend all day getting grief of the staff at the recycing centre about where its all coming from, or buy/hire a shredder/chipper and get some free wood chippings for the bottom of the garden

Not what you would call safe practice with a chainsaw.
I would have advised you to get a electric saw purely because it doesn't make as much noise, for the sake of your neighbours.

MS 880 STIHL Magnum® Chain Saw should suffice with the 59” bar. Might be slightly over budget though.
