FIREWOOD..50cc,60cc,70cc???

[parrisw]

+1 I ran mine with a 28" tech lite and a 8 pin buried today and it was scary fast.

36" full comp chain and 8 pin is where its at.

I have no use for a 60 CC saw. A good ported 50 CC and 70 CC is all you need.

Specifically a 346 and a 372:msp_thumbup:

I agree but I didn't need that much bar today. I find myself trying to convince myself of reasons to run my 395. I could've done everything today that I needed with my 441 and 261 but hell where's the fun in that.

Or a 2153, 441RC-M (and a 390XP) - all ported of course. I think it's better when we spread the brand loyalty...

I run a pair of 044/440 with a 20" and 25" bars and several square grind chains as spares . Switching out chains when they loose their edge saves alot of time running your saw as well as grinding time. When I switched to an 8 pin rim it felt like I was cutting through rotten wood.

By the way here is my 3 saw plan.

I use saws ranging from 30cc to 99cc depending on how I am feeling.

What do you guys use and why?

IMHO if all you are doing is cutting firewood, there is no "need" for anything more than 1 good quality 60cc class saw. Most - if not all - guys could do just fine with a well-maintained 036 for example.
That said, as we are mostly all chainsaw aficionados, the idea of one saw is sort of foreign to us - AND - from a 'legitimate' standpoint you could certainly make a strong argument that having 2 saws makes sense, in which case a 50/70cc plan will always trump a 60cc.


I have long said that if I had to get rid of all my saws but 2, i would keep one 50cc (probably my 5100) and one 70cc (probably my 440), because in reality it is all I really "need" - but where's the fun in that?? haha.

I think the 28" ES Light looks so good on the M-Tronic is should have 441C stencilled on it.

There's not much I won't tackle with a well ported 50cc and 20 inch bar.And I can tackle it for a lot longer.
60cc used to be a favorite but I sold them.

the ms440 hybrid i have is light and nimble like a 60cc but cuts like its 80cc

whats that? 460 top and 440 bottom?

a 361 is a light and nimble 60cc saw so is a 359. A 365 is a light and nimble 70cc saw.

Amen Brother, I can see it all around me including the Forest Sircus

I'm just waiting on parts and a reply from a Porter for my hyperactive 460/440 hybird wood devouring monster dressed in Halloween Orange!

 

[v8titan]

Yes.

I concur.

I keep seeing these bars on the 441, and while I have absolutely no need for one, I might just have to get one....
