A big saw will work when you need a small one better than a small one will work when you need a big one.(paraphrased from the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers)

I know what you mean. I like a new shiny saw like the rest of the guys, but the ones that look beat up and wore out in my aresonal are the real runners!

All cause of RUN TIME!!
I think it's the run time they have on them. My 066 is the most beat up "POS looking" thing there and it smokes them all......... It's just relentless......you can bury the 25" bar in dead dry white oak, pull on it as hard as you can, and it finds another gear and keeps going.....lol Just an awesome saw.....:greenchainsaw:

I am a firewooder too...The way I see things it don't cost me much to my saws ready to run. I will be taken a saw with me all most everyday to the field to trim trees and cut anything that has fell in the fields. ( I don't make a living running a saw, but I do use them to heat my home, up keep our farm and help out a friend or two.) Back when we had our sawmill I ran a saw daily,but we sold the mill. A chainsaw to me is a "must have" and if your going to have it use it.....

Must be a midwest thing but I like full comp. I have tried skip, and I understand its merits, but for the wood where I preside I like the full comp chain. I do keep skip for ripping rounds, making noodles. Half for the necessity if halving large rounds and half just for fun.

Its called "character" and shows that it works or is used as opposed to being a poser's showcase queen.My saws are being used, and are accumulating the character to prove it. I do like to clean them after using them, but don't get excited about little scratches or having them steam cleaned. They are going to get dirty AGAIN.
I got to run my "new to me" 066 Mag yesterday.:greenchainsaw: It starts easier than expected with or without the decompression button, and does the job its supposed to do. Having been "previously loved", it already shows some use, but not abuse. It is, afterall, a tool, and tools are meant to be used.
Keeping saws perfect and not enjoying them is like never taking the wedding dress off her................
