Yeah but pellets won't break up. You risk getting dirt into the carb if you miss any of the rock grit.
What are your firewood saws?

That does sound like a good idea I'll have to see if I can find it here

This is my most used firewood saw,
I also love my 550xp,
BUT, when I'm in the bigger wood, my Jonsered 2260 get's a workout,
Ya gotta love the looks of a big load of firewood!
It looks even better when it's all split! lol

New guy here. I do all my cutting with a Dolmar 7900, have 20" and 24" bars. Could probably stand something smaller but I just started to get into this so for now this one saw has done everything I needed it to do.
That 7900 may be the ultimate one saw plan. The weight of a 65 and a the muscle of an 80. You could always add a 40-50 cc dedicated limbing saw in the future.

Ooh nice purchase! Yes I'd rather limb with a heavy saw and have access to a splitter too!

I'd go Husky or 241 Stihl on the small side but the 7900/7910 is a really good one.
Funny that the 7900 and 461 are mentioned back to back. Those and the 241 are the top saws that I would purchase right now if I needed another saw.
I heard of some test recently where a guy said a 6100 would spank a 562 but after going to the chainsaw races and watching a 562 and 2260 clean house on the entire field of 56-65cc saws from every mfg I beg to differ.

I figured I had too many saws, so I gave a friend an old Homelite C5 with a 30" bar. He got it all tuned, new chain, and put it on a mill. If we have time he's going to bring it over and see how it does milling a green Chestnut Oak log I just cut down. It's only 77 CC, but is kinda torquey. We will see, Joe.
They don't cut fast but they do keep the chain moving. Bring earplugs

60 cc saws frustrate me .
I recently acquired a ported 562, only bar I had for it was a 32", cut a red fir last weekend that was a little bigger than the bar, handled the 32" bar just fine, very impressive saw! Really like this saw I think it's going to be my new favorite firewood saw. Very light for the power, handles great, always starts good.Funny that the 7900 and 461 are mentioned back to back.

A ported 562 is an angry beast indeed. My first experience on a 562 was a Landrum ported model and I needed to have one.
Yup. 550, 562, 346, 357 are all kind of like that.

At this point, I do pretty much everything with my 550XP and 371XP (switched up with the 2166). I do cut up pallets with the Husky 440 with semi-chisel chain, and I do trim and stuff with the top handle Echo.
