what kind of chain saw do you use

Mostly my Stihl 260, but I have to beak out my old Husquavarna 66 for bigger stuff.

 

How do you pick the 066 with no bar and no pull start cover ?

 

365 special is my go to as it does most everything very well. The 660 is great with the big bore kit but with 200psi a little hard for me to start. The Makita is a nice little saw but made the mistake of letting a friend do a little work on it. For whatever reason, he took off the 16" bar and put a 14" on it and then loosing the 16 so now I have no chains for it. Kind of thinking of a replacement lite saw for liming.

 

I use my 550 with a 13" bar 70% of the time since it's such a joy to use and sips the gas compared to my Dolkita 7900 with a 20" bar, which I grab when logs get to about 16". I only seem to need the 28" bar about once a year.

 

I have two saws,

1. A husqvarna 460 rancher with a .058 20" and some aggressive chains.

2. A 17 year old HomeLite ranger 33 cc with a 16" bar and basic safety chains. I even have the nose guard for when I let others use it. Great little saw for smaller jobs.

That's an 046 with a broken lower handle. I ran over it with an F700.

 

I have a husky 562 and a 262, both great saws

 

What bar are you using?

Stihl 180- love that little thing.
346-XP- My -Go to saw- for most of the work.
Mak-6401- slab cutting saw.

 

A different one for every day of the year.

 

For regular firewood duty its either the Mac PM610,Poulan 3400Countervibe,occasionally the Jonsered 2077 Turbo.But for the big stuff,milling or when I want to scare the neighbors its the Husqvarna 2100CD/288XPW & especially the Mac 125C & 1-80 Gear Drive. But the ProMac 850 should arrive Friday afternoon,so that adds another possibility of meanness....

 

Jonsered cs2255 and a Dolmar ps32. They do everything I need them to.

 

I use the one that has gas and oil in it and a sharp chain

 

Welcome to da club snide, join in and have a seat by the fire

 

Currently I'm running an old husqvarna 455 rancher, and a husqvarna 350. On the bench soon to be in action are a 346xp, and a 272xp. I must be honest, I hope my 455 has a problem because my the 350 will out cut it eight ways to Sunday.

 

192t for limbing, 029 with a 3/8 chain, 16" bar for most stuff, and an 066 with a 28" bar for big stuff.

 

Sharp.

 

372 xt and 266 se both with 24 inch bars. Got an old homelite 350 that runs for a camp saw. Also non running 056 stihl and poulan 455.

 

Ms 461 with 24" for felling and blocking the trunk and ms 261c-m with 18" for the tops.
