McCulloch Super Pro 70; old-school grunt that will keep up with most modern saws of similar displacement.
My all around go to saw for firewood right now is a husky 555. Unless i get up over 20". Its not the fastest or the lightest. But its a nice smooth balance. If im in a hurry under 20" i grab the 562xp. Over 20" either the 390xp or the 298xp both are fun in there own way. Just picked up a 550xp for limbing we'll see how it goes. My personal favorite saw just as a saw for sentimental reasons is my mint 61 with a 272xp top end mm and no base gasket.

There is just something special about a Dolly 6800i....

I ran my 026, a 441 with a standard carb, and my ported 350/346 today doing a lot clear in northern Wisconsin. I was with two other guys. On more than one occasion I turned around to pick up the Husky from where I had just put it only to find it missing, and upon further investigation, I would spot it in one of the other guys hands. Both of these guys are stihl heads and both of them were floored by that little husky. Definitely star of the show, and one of my favorite saws to run.

Homelite 550 is my favorite that I own, simply because it was free, and when I take it out of the truck to cut firewood with other people, I always get that "what on earth is that?" look.

I really like the 60cc poulans. My makita 6800i and dolmar 7910 are a blast to run but only in the bigger wood.
My Miller modded 550xp by far.
Honorable mention to 562, 350, de-catted 142, and L65.

My Deaves61 ported 590 is my favorite saw. Wouldn't think twice about putting a 24 or even 27 on this saw if the need arose.
This is an easy one. My Husqvarna 51. The little saw with a bad attitude.All it wants to do is make chips fly and it does it with gusto.This saw is the Eddie Haskel of my collection. And yes it does have an attitude.
Favorite to run - SP125C in 4' of red oak. Favorite for general firewood use -WWS MS 361.

One of my best friends wants me to buy one of these for him. He says he would rather have a 51 than a 350. Go figure. He already owns a 353, but that 51 fascinates him.
low tops rule!
