[QUOTE="Philip Wheelock, post: 4523704, member: 89726"] With 3.5 hp, assuming a sharp chain, a 455 Rancher in good shape and well-tuned should be able to cut 20" dia. softwood without much fuss. Also, a 16" bar w/ .325 pitch chain might work better on that saw. A 20" bar is 60-70cc territory. Getting the 455 to cut better might take the pressure off finding a new saw right away. AFAIK, no 70cc saw weighs 13 lbs or less; a pro 60cc saw is what you want. I saw a clean stock MS361 in the local CL for $425 a couple of months ago. Husky 357xp would be another candidate. [/QUOTE]
