Speaking of chainsaws.....

What do you guys have/like?


Ill go first. 5 Husky's... 372XPW (24"), 357XP (20"), 346XP (18"), old 136 (16"), old 35 (14"), and 4 old Homelite Supers, (lil thangs)

That 372 is one bad MFer! The XPW version (full wrap handle) comes with a 75cc engine rather than the 71cc of the standard model. Giving it just a wee bit more power.

64cc 20" makita (dolmar) it laughs at 24" logs and my 14" poulan for small limbs and such

I've got 2 saws. My first purchased in 2001 was a Husqvarna 365 special. "65cc" It's been an awesome tool that burns through anything with the smallish 20" bar. But it has the big teeth so it throws tons of big chips FAST! I love this saw as it has a deep erratic idle quality. Awesome! My other is a 2002 Stihl 017 lightweight. Bought it for light work and trimming. It's been a great saw too, and typically sees the most work out of my two, as of the last few years. When i bought the Husky, i dropped about 30 trees over 3 years. Some were 3' across. It never missed a beat. Happy with both of my purchases. Funny thing about the Husky. They actually make nicom big bore kits for them.

Husqvarna 575xp, and an old husky 2100 that's 120cc's with a 56" bar. The big saw has an Alaskan sawmill on it.

I don't know bar lenghts, but here are a few off the top of my head: 5 Sthil: 026, 036 Magnum, 036 Magnum II, 046, 066(Beast...); a couple old Husquavarnas, a Craftsman, and a John Deere.

I have 3 Stihl 460's that get used daily. I've used them all, Jonsered, husky etc and I'll only use Stihls. My one 460 is almost 4 years old and its been used daily (I own a logging company). We were only getting a year or so out of the other saws..

I am a logger, so I gots me some saws. I own 2 Stihl MS 660's and a MS 460 that get used every day. I also collect antique saws. Ive probably got 25 of them from the 1950's to the 80's. 90 % of them run and get used for firewood cutting when I am not in a hurry.

Man, I just want a Stihl or Husqy, my lil McCulloch did the job clearing my track, but crank shafts straight on aluminum are one stupid arse idea. The engineers should be hung; then again, it's corporate that says "make it cheaper", the engineer just does his job............

I guess I should mix these throw away saws at like 40:1

I guess I should mix these throw away saws at like 40:1

Mix the oil till they smoke a little. The recommended ratio is so they will pass California emissions.

My great uncle is a logger from waaayy back. He is in his 70s now and his health is failing. Up till he had a fire in his shop recently, he had probably 30 or more really old saws hanging up all around his shop. They belonged to his father (my great grandfather) who was also a logger/sawmill owner/farmer/landscaper and anything else anyone would hire him to do. As was the case with alot of folks from back in that time. Anyway, Im pretty sure every one of those old saws were lost in the fire! Im talking about saws from the early 50s for the most part. What a shame.....

I've got a Husky 455 Rancher. Haven't even pulled it out of the box yet. Replaces a Poulan that worked great for saplings. I used it to cut down some trees and it hasn't worked right since. lol

An old blue homelite xl with a 20 inch bar. It sat around the basement for as long as I can remember... Rebuilt the carb, sprayed wd 40 all over the pullstart and it runs like new. I have a red one for parts, I have a 70s homelite saw with a 14 inch bar I could rebuild. I Have a Brand new Stihl easy start with a 14 inch bar, I just need to put a new rope on it. Honestly the old blue is better then my $ 250 stihl, It needs a new chain but in a year it hasnt needed any real parts and Ive had to fix the tensioner at least 10 times and now the rope on the stihl.

[4cylinders]

hey, yes, more than I care to mention.
anyone have any 038 stihl parts they want to sell?

[coolpool]

I have an old STIHL 028 that runs as good now as it did when bought 20+ years ago. It's the only saw (Husky included) that haven't let us down at moose camp.
