How many saws have you picked up this year?

Just noticing myself that I’ve acquired a few saws this year. Weather through purchase, trade or inheritance let’s start a pole here of how many RUNNING saws you’ve acquired this year.....
As always pics are good! I’ll start it off with a count of 7 for myself
First one of 2018 Dolmar 116si

 

Just 1, stihl 026

 

Just one.
An 066 for $350 with new b&c

 

Husqvarna 390 XP new in May.

Husqvarna 562 XP new in December.

 

Stihl 020AV 026 & MS 362. Good year for saws. Got the 026 ported along with my 036.
Almost forgot, 044 MMWS as well.

 

Gotten 8 runners thus far this year. Here are 5 Poulans for $25 total.

 

Surprisingly 0! Actually I sold a 441 and a 441 parts/rebuild saw so I'm minus 1 1/2 saw's on the year. I'm getting he itch though, just can't find the right deal.

 

None, though I have been tempted a couple of times with a used Echo and a Makita.

 

If I count, I may have to come to terms with having an advanced form of CAD. Am I ready for that?

I sold 35 new saws and acquired 17 builders. Balanced, right? Lol.

 

Forgot to add some pics...

Got this one and then sold it...regret!

From Hungary....one of my main worksaws...converted to 7910 and red top.

Ethanol-ed carb. Swapped out, ported and new Meteor w/44mm versus 44.7mm top end. Runner!

Cleaned, fixed a crack in the cover. Governor delete and mild port work. Runs like a top.

My milling saw. Just got it running yesterday. Needed a cylinder and piston. Governor delete, a little port work and now just needs the carb dialed in.

Hot rod. This one is a little beast. Bought it from Cole in MI.

I've got this and the smurf twin. Two of my main small work saws. Super little saw.

 

Picked up a few Homelites and Macs over the past spring and summer and just got one yesterday from J. Dirt!

The Mac 250 I got from J. Dirt, the Homelite is a rebuild I finished last spring.

 

Welcome aboard brother!!!!

 

Mcculloch 10-10a bought in Sept. (currently on bench for repair)
Super EZ I got last March
410 I got from a coworker

 

Poulan pro 455 and Stihl 362 were my saw purchases this year.

 

Sold.



My babies....

Here’s the 10-10a now waiting patiently for Red Kote in the gas tank. Long story on how she got this way...

 

None: I am a 1 saw owner, and always have been though I have cut commercially for years.

I am a minimalist in life, and almost looked at my saw as if it was my best friend. I cut wood alone, so its just me, my saw and whatever tractor I am using to pull wood (tractor/bulldozer or skidder). I throw that saw up on the machine, and I know its just us three in the woods for the day. No matter what the forest throws at us, that is what I got to work with. Wood has got to flow from stump to landing...

Without question a chainsaw is the best investment I can make though. Within two days of use, it has fully paid for itself (assuming production of 10 cords of hardwood pulp per day at $70 a cord). Very few purchases can achieve that!

But it has to be right. It has to be good at felling, limbing and bucking: not being good at only one thing so I have to switch it out to another saw (which of course, I do not have).
