    I’ve got plenty of saws but what can one more hurt lol let’s see what you guys think I should go with currently have a t540, 550, 562, 372, 390, and a 395 cut some timber limited amount and do a lot of firewood 2 wood boilers for personal use and a couple family wood stoves and sell somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 to 50 cords a year depending on weather

    Your stable is well stocked. Spend that money on ammo.

    Yeah, there’s no holes or gaps in that lineup, it’s just all CAD now!

    30- 50 cords a year is a lot. What do you have for a splitter?

    Send a couple of them to northern Michigan for the XS treatment. They will definitely be new saws then. Lol

    I'm not sure you can add another saw to that lineup without redundancy. I'm sure there's better things to spend your money on.

    With that fleet, I’d recommend sending one to get professionally ported. If you’ve never ran one that’s been modded, it will without a doubt change the game for you.
