    Whats your favorite make/model of chainsaw

    I would have said the stihl 361, but I recently bought a stihl 362 and absolutely love it. It has more power and torque out of the box then my well broke in 361 and I can't tell any difference in weight.

    My jonsered 2171, because it never runs out fuel or bar oil. It cuts, splits and stacks my wood for me while I drink cold beer. All I gotta do is sharpen the chain by cutting muddy rocks

    I'd buy another one just like it if I had the money!!

    Right now i have to say 562xp but it might be my MS201T next week after Brad is done with it.


    The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of cheap price is long forgotten. (You get what you pay for)

    No CAD for me its just my JOB.

    I have several "PRO" chainsaws in Husky, Dolmar, and Stihl brands.

    Of these, I like the one I happen to more or less randomly choose for the task at hand.
