A 60cc saw and a 90cc saw.

What I use now:
036 w/20" and 660 w/28" or 32"

 

[Stihl051master]

My Stihl 361 and 026. Those have served me well for my firewood needs so far.

My setup

If i could only choose 2 saws it would be a Husky 357XP w/ 16-18" bar, and a 372 with a 28" bar. That is my setup, an i love it. I can drop trees with the biggun and buck em with the little un'. With that setup i havent run across any thing i cant cut or haul.

If I could only have 2 saws :
I'd choose my 660 and my 260pro.

I think that would well for just about everything.
But, Thank God we don't have to have just 2 saws....

 

[Husky137]

346xp and 372xp.

 

[toddstreeservic]

Dolmar 7900 and husky NE346xp

I'd start boxing up her shoes , knick-knacks and pots-n-pans. She can have a pair to go to work in and a pair to go to dinner in, She can keep what fits on her dresser for knicknacks and lets see her cook with a two egg pan and a 6 quart kettle.

Of course this is a sorespot for me and probably should have kept it repressed.

A 40cc and a 60cc does what I'd need them to do without tearing out my shoulder again.

 

[Swamp Yankee]

Dolmar PS7900 and Husky 357XP if I have to pick from current models.

If I could have any two, it would be a Husky 281XP or 288XP and a 262XP.

Take Care

If I could only have two saws that were specifically for firewood, I would go with a Dolmar 5100s and a Dolmar 7900. Yeah Baby! That's the two!

 

[ShoerFast]

MS-660 & MS-361

Now ask a hard question.

 

[MR4WD]

Firewood? 359 and 372 do just fine by me. Climbing? Top handle and 359. Milling? Hot 385 and 395.

 

[Peacock]

441 and 660.

 

[yo2001]

I'm happy with 044 and 026. Hardly cut anything bigger than 25" hardwoods so it suits me well. 026 with 16" and 044 with 25"

 

[Octane]

Echo CS-370 and CS-530.

 

[Bushman_269]

In Jred (don't care for funky bent handle orange saws):

2153 with 16 - 18" bar for limbing and small stuff
2186 with 24" bar for most everything else & a spare 28 - 32" bar for big stumps & such.
Would also consider a 2171 in place of the 2186 depending on the size of stuff I anticipated cutting.

In Stihl:

260 Pro with 16 - 18" bar for limbing and small stuff
MS660 with 25" bar & spare 36" bar for big stuff.
While I really like my 036 Pro it just doesn't fit well in a 2 saw limit question.
Would also consider a 460 in place of the 660 if cutting mostly smaller stuff (which I do now).

 

[jburlingham]

Stihl MS460 and John Deere CS62

 

[OilHead]

Either a 084 or 880 with a 42" bar & a 044 or 460 w 25" to start. Sometimes the 660 with 36" isnt quite big enough.

 

[smokinj]

460 and 180

 

[coog]

Stihl and Husqvarna (or maybe Jonsered).
