Thread: Looking for a new saw.

Ok i just picked up a Stihll 045 AV super, and i think that has me covered for the big stuff. I live in central FL so we dont have big hardwood, Mainly oak mine and cedar.

The 045 was meant and may still be my dedicated milling saw.

I want to stay stihl but want 5 saws

1 for small tree pruning and brush
1 for medium sized logs and log cleanup
1 large saw for larger trees
1 as a saw for my dedicated milling saw with a 42" bar

need a powerhead to use with my Bow saw bar for bucking logs into firewood.

I am totally ok with older saws. as the new ones are a bit rich for my blood

i have no experiance with saws past my 045 and my fathers 08s and am oblivious to the models. But once i decide on a model i will search and bid on ebay lol

It gets good reviews for a small saw.

any more input

I still want to get a top handle(ms192t or ms200t) for the realy small stuff and in the air. i have a ms260 pro, a ms390, 038 avs and a ms460. Any of them are good saws, as long as they run... You can find them used for a lot less cash. Good luck with the search...

heres your perfect lineup. lol






I love my collection so far. i have just about everything covered from small to large. keep in mind you could buy a 50-60cc saw that would work fine for your small to medium jobs. I like my 036 pro you can find them pretty cheap on craigslist or ebay and the will pull a 20'' bar well in hardwood.
