I only cut for firewood, usually standing dead ash or oak that the timber companies left because it wasn't straight enough for the mill. I cut around 10-15 cords a year for myself and others who aren't able to cut anymore. When I started cutting a couple years ago it was all done with Echo 400's. Had to leave some really nice wood because the 400's weren't big enough so also got 490's and Maruyama MCV 51's. For just firewood, probably all the saws I would need. Still had to leave the occasional big trunk. Then @CJ Brown corrupted my mind and I got a Makita 6401 with 24" bar. Great saw but for what I do, either of the 50 cc saws was big enough and the 400's have done a great job, especially for limbing and smaller trunks. Does make you smile when that 6401 is throwing chips tho.
