How about a Stihl MS460? 77 cc's. That would be my choice, but then again I don't know too much about saws.

:clap: "Don't know too much about saws"....But, if a guy muff modded a WildThingie and put a big nitrous tank on it.......

Just kidding, one of those new Macs with the flame stickers on it, now that would fly.

In saw content I would say put that Jred to use!

I noticed that you like Jonsereds Austin1, I just picked up my second one this weekend. Its a 2095 Turbo and like all Jonsereds I know little about them . The 930 I got a couple months back works great and this one will also,just got to replace the clutch cover and chain brake and away she goes. Should cut those soft poplar trees like knife through butter but do a good job cutting hard maple here as well. Pioneerguy600

HEHEHEHE. That's because the old, original MAC's are still running. I just had my 27 year old Pro-Mac 610 out yesterday. Pulls a 16" full chipper just dandy............and I don't have to worry about wrecking my new Husky on dirt, nails, etc.
I worry more about damaging my Mac's! as they are not replaceable. I think of them as precious jewls! lol

That just had to happen, the 385 and 390 is too close for both stay in the line-up over time.........:) Its a shame to see it go its one of my favorites dont know why but i grab my 385 before my 390.

Wonder what happens to the 2186........
They will probly put the 390 cylinder on it i guess.

I know it's different stroke's for different folk's..............But, I've got 2 new helper's who haven't run anything over a 20" bar. I gave one a 357 w/20" bar to run, and the other is running a 7900 w/20" bar. In my opinion a 20" bar on a 7900 is a waste of gas (unless you're racing).
