If you could only have one saw what would it be?

One Saw ??

262xp 24" bar

 

[Saw Dr.]

If I had to go down to one saw it would be a toss up. Either the MAC 10-10s that was my dads, or the MAC 7-10 that my wife's grandpa gave me. Either way, my ears and fingers are tingling.

If I can keep both of the ones above and add another, it would be a 70cc machine. Either 372, 440, 441, 2171. They're all so stinking good anymore. Lots of hair splitting goes on here. From the list above, I'll take the one with the sharpest chain every time.

I remember you used to claim that the 372xp just sounded mean, but was gutless--just curious as to what changed your mind? I certainly agree, I would keep my 372xp above any saw, even my beloved 346xp.

Your right , I used to think they were way over rated, Hell the first one I had was a real nice and I didnt keep it but a month or two and down the road, didnt like it. As for what changed my mind, not sure, well me getting old helped alot, The 372 just feels good and is not so bulky as my 7900 s, the one I have now is a xpw with a little work done and it is a beast.

372 XP.

But then there is CAD to think about, and there is no way that I can be a member here and only have only one saw.

Heck for years I thought one saw was enough, but then I joined AS and found out that one saw was not nearly enough.:hmm3grin2orange:


Now about that 562 XP..........

And what about putting a XPW top end on a 365 ........

Stihl 036.

you might be on target. i run a jonny red, BUT, my good friend runs an 036, he's run it hard, for 12 yrs or more.


A ZERO MAINTENANCE kind of guy and that saw has never failed him..too bad they made it in the wrong color. :msp_biggrin:

 

[himins]

Well, if only one saw, I guess it would be a craftsman electric with a 10 in bar and about 7 miles of extension cord.

 

[chainsaw mike1]

I think if a 056 mag and a 026 pro mated, they would give birth to the perfect "one saw", the ms460! Odd thing is I don't have one.... But it is tax return time, and firewood season is just around the corner.....

 

[snoozeys]

Mastermind ported 372xp

 

[bryanr2]

Mastermind 288xp Lite would be my pick.

MS 880 with a 60". I'd sell it and buy a used 394, 288, and 385, and have plenty left over to buy some temporary female companionship

MS 880 with a 60". I'd sell it and buy a used 394, 288, and 385, and have plenty left over to buy some temporary female companionship to help me start my saws because I have noodle arms.

Fixed for the good of the community.
