Mac Super 44A. Also known as "Big Bertha." My dad had gotten it from a friend he worked with back in the early seventies. I can remember as a small boy when we had logs the Pro 10-10's couldn't handle, she would come out. That saw was the coolest thing to a young kid who dreamed of cutting with a real saw someday. Pretended to use it many times as a kid. Want to try to restore it someday.
Mine would be my Poulan Pro 255. It was my first new saw I ever got. My dad gave it to me for either xmas or my birthday back in 1993. It is actually a great little saw, it is quiet as a mouse and pretty powerful and lightweight.

I have no emotional attachment to any of my saws so for the right price they're all for sale.

My Dolmar 6000. It's a little heavy, but I bought it new and have cut a small forest with it by now. It always starts and is a absolute pleasure to run.
My Homelite XL-12 for what should be obvious to anyone who has ran a XL-12. It is the saw that always starts and can handle about anything I need to do.

Boy this is a tough one.......
....But if I could keep only one of my saws it'd be the sweet blue/white early Homelite XL12 (with an SXL P/C in it) that I bought from Farley9N a few years ago. It looks great and runs fantastic. It's cut a lot of firewood for me and has never let me down. Also, my Wife bought it for me (offa ebay) for my birthday!
I bought a craigslist Homelite SXL-AO after that so it'd take over the lion's share of the dirty work, keeping the XL12 from getting any more scratched up!

You guys probably have me figured out by now. I'll a favorite saw of the week sorta feller. I'm still cutting with my 036, and really like this saw. It's not at all heavy, and after a good woods port is plenty strong, so I'm still claiming it as my favorite, at least until I get the 046 all buttoned up just so.
I just tore down a couple of P series Pioneers and really like the way these saws are built. The P50 is a work of art. Compact design (for an 82cc saw), two thin rings, beefy crank and bearings. I also like the way the oil pump is made, and it's got electronic ignition. Not bad for a 30 year old saw. :chainsawguy:

The MS200T that my 82 year old FIL talked me into... he likes using it when he comes out to cut firewood with us and I have grown somewhat addicted to it as well.
The close second would be the Echo PPT-265 Pole Saw that keeps me from using the 200T so much!
The rest will most likely end up traded or sold eventually...

I got 2 saws I would never get rid of. One is my Homelite Xp-1020A that I built. This is the 1st saw I ever built and 1st saw over 70cc I ever ran. May even be the 1st homelite I ever ran. I built this thig from a pretty beat parts saw and NOS parts. I didnt even use an IPL just bought a bunch of stuff that looked right. It's funny cause its a good runner to. I have a full wrap for it but was cleaning the ugly and 1/2 gone green paint off it when I took these pics.

My second saw is a Poulan 6000/Dolmar 152. It's my favorite sounding saw and it runs really smooth. Great power with the ported engine to. I should get some newer pictures. It wears a 36" carlton bar now. I also stripped the paint off the bar you see and left it shiny but clear coated it it does not rust.

The one I am using that runs good. Or one that is down and can be repaired cheaper than replaced.
To me its a tool, when it's no longer useful (or if parts are too high and / or hard to find) I will get a new one, and never look back.
