Can Someone Explain the Three Saw Plan

[SawTroll]

If I could only have one saw, It would have to be a GOOD 70cc.

Two saws? Add a GOOD 50cc.

Third saw? A VERY Lightweight 35-40cc saw, well-made, with good power. "brushing saws" are Very Handy to me.

The third should be a 60cc saw, to fill the gap between the 50 and 70cc ones - or a 90cc if the 70cc isn't large enough (it is in my case).

If the 50cc saw is the right one, there is no need for anything smaller - unless you need a top-handle.

This is my 7 saw plan, 70cc, 54cc and 32cc saws and never leave the barn without at least 2 of them. It's embarrassing to have to walk back to the barn to get another saw when 2 are stuck in one tree, don't ask.

OOPS, looks like there's only six saws on that table, so it's my six saw plan. A couple of the 10-10's are missing and the 1-43, and the c-52 and the Craftsman 55, and a Poulan 2150, so technically it's a 12 saw plan that keeps expanding, might that be what they consider CAD ??

I think I need a couple of 10 10's...great exhaust note...my favorite saw exhaust actually.

...three of every saw seems about right...

A CAD Thing

I thought that the 3 saw plan was an excuse to have more saws, not because you needed different saws for different cutting.
But I Was Wrong - 1 saw limbing/brushing 2- 50cc lightweight cutter/blocking 3- big guy for bigger trees.
So I learned something. I WILL NOT CATCH CAD, my new personal mantra or whatever.
My neighbor gave me a Remington 39A and a Wild Thing, are there any parts available for these?

I'm using the three saw plan and have been for years!:msp_w00t:

I have a 346 for the small stuff, a 262 for general use, a 372 for the bigger stuff, a 394 for the really big stuff.... a couple of JD twins 'cause they're neat, a pair of 090's, some MS200T's a few 266's, a 288 'cause it sounds so cool...

Oh wait... Did I say three saw plan!??:msp_unsure:

I thinks I gots CAD. :help:

My 'Three Saw Plan' is three from Homelite, Poulan, McCulloch, Remington, Pioneer, Lombard, etc. of every model they offered.

 

[heimannm]

I like the way you think Carl, but I happen to know that three of every McCulloch will keep me busy the rest of my life...I'd have to start over at 20 year old to get three of everything.

That's where one has three saws. :msp_mellow:

That's where one has three saws. :msp_mellow:

My take on it is a 35, 50, 70cc saw. But then one has to consider the 562XP which everyone should own. :chainsawguy:

 

[homelitejim]

Three saws is about all I can fit in the back seat of my truck and still get my tools, cables, and chains in there.

I'm trying to figure out the 12 saw plan myself. When I get frustrated trying to figure it out I'll probably give up and move onto figuring out a 13 saw plan :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[logging22]

Reckon the OP has an idea yet? Three saws may be enough for some, but not many! This crowd is crazy for the saws!

 

[TonyRumore]

The 3 saw plan, refers to having 3 of each and every model/size ever made.....not three saws total. Everyone knows that.:cool2:

For the average home owner, one saw will do.
For a business, you need backups plus specialized saws for deferent conditions.
Not only do I have back up saws, but I have parts on hand for them as well.
Loosing half a day for a 2 dollar part that shuts you down really sucks.

I must say some time ago I figured that I'd need a small, medium and larger saw. Pruning / bucking / felling.
So far I have accumulated
2 top handles with 12" bars
35cc & 40cc with 14" bars
45cc with 16" bar
55cc with 18" bar
58cc with 20" bar.......and a 24" if I am real enthusiastic :msp_thumbsup:

I can see some gaps that need filling in and am working on it slowly, My lawns are my biggest priority right now.
