Logging chainsaw?

[walleye34]

Looking to do some logging on a small scale, was looking for a bit better chainsaw, Currently have a ms290 that i cut firewood with and clean up around the farm with. Looking for opinions. Going to be cutting mainly hardwoods no bigger than 24" to 30" across.

then again, a Husqvarna 390 sure is a pleasure to run in that size wood.

Stihl MS-461R should do you quite nicely.

A 28" Stihl Light-weight bar only makes it better.

I can get a 372 xp low profile here locally for 550$. Good deal or? And how would it compare to a 440 or 460 stihl?

372 461 7910 all excellent saws
I prefer the 372 but to each his own.

372 is a light logging saw. They use them here for clear cutting pine stands. Nothing more than 16”. It could handle some 24” stuff but a pro would not have se it for that. I believe you could though

Great saws. Lots of guys using ported 372s for logging in the PNW. A stock one should be very capable with a 24" bar. It'll pull a 28" with semi or full skip fairly comfortably also.

Confess! Did that saw really make those cuts? looks way to clean and pretty!

I have an 064 , 044, and 046 Stihl, for the size trees you’re cutting, I’d go with the 044 with a 32” bar. I don’t like to bend over so much anymore and the 044 has plenty of grunt to get the job done.

You planing on leaving the saw stock or port it?

I want just a stock saw honestly. Really looking to get just more power than the 290 has.

How many trees per day, per week or per month you planning on cutting? That will make a big difference as to what kind of saw you should consider. If you're cutting a truckload of wood or more every day, you'll definitely want a "pro" saw like some of those mentioned above. If you're going to be cutting a half dozen trees per week, you could get by with a lot more options.

Then you'll be blow away with a 372. That's a good price, get it, run it, smile... repeat.
