Increaseing to 4 saw plan

[ralawler]

Saturday started clearing a 10acer pine stand. guy won'ts all scrub pines and hard wood gone to give the bigger pines room to grow. All I took was my 028.
Little saw did a great job, but when I got to bigger hard wood wished I had brought something with a little more umfff. So here's my plan.
I think I'll put a 25" bar on my 038 mag. Buy a 361 with a 20" bar, keep the
18" on my 028., Use the little poulan xxv for tree trimming off the ground. I think the 361 would have been perfect for this. some of the hard wood I drop were 30" plus.
What Ya'll Think????


AN I GETTING THIS SAW DI EASE

only problem with increasing to the 4 saw plan is it will soon turn into the 6 saw plan.


yep, you got it bad.

Why keep the 028 in the "active" lineup - it weights the same as the 361........LOL

You got the disease. Don't bother going to the doctor. Ain't no cure for it.

You can ease your discomfort by coming here often and seeing other people that have more saws than you. Of course, if you keep coming here you'll end up being one of those people.

Sounds lije the old Soviet Era "Five Year Plans".Easy to put on paper, hard to stick too over time. Good Luck.

I think I'l keep it in the plan because it's just so dependable. I can carrie it to a job with a couple of xtra chains and know I'll do a days sawing. That says a lot. Its starts secound pull cold and frist every time when warmed up!!!
ALways been that way.

4 Saw plan????????
When you pry the other 20 out of my cold dead hands!!!!!

The 361 is a nice saw and it has been known on this site to cause spontaneous ecstasy with its users. But it's too close in power to your 038 Mag (4.4 versus around 5 HP, I think). I'd step on up to either a 460, 372 or 7900.

..and so it starts....:greenchainsaw:

Stay with your orginal plan... Nice set of saws. The 38M might be closer in HP, but it has a lot more torque for big wood. The 361 is a lot nicer to use.

372

I'd get a husky 372xp if I was in your position.:greenchainsaw:

Before I started reading this forum, I owned one saw.

After lurking for a while, reading the posts, I decided I needed two saws.

Then I joined, asked a few questions, and discovered I wouldn't be complete without three saws.

Now I have four. I need to quit coming to this place.

after 3, you just say "many", unless its to the wife, then it's "a few".

 

[Ironbark]

When I have as many chainsaws as my wife has handbags I'm going to stop buying saws

If your cutting 30" hardwood you need a bigger saw, get yourself a Husky 372, or Dolmar 7900.

 

[Ed*L]

Not a bad saw plan.......

Think about retiring the Poulan and getting an ms200 for ground work.

You will add a 660 also, you just don't know it yet.

Or an MS440 or MS441!

+ 1 046/460 and never look back IMO..

+1 372

welp. her goes. your 4 saw can be thrown out the window...


you need

0-40cc
0-53cc
0-65cc
0-75cc
0-80cc
0-90cc


that shoud be a fairly good 6 saw plan with room to increase...

The 90cc plus comes into play about 6-8 months after you fulfill you largest saw dreams (which was previously the 0-90cc!)
