My little unit gets a lot more action then a big one

[Chris J.]

Not a sub-45cc saw, and no photo, but my Husqvarna 51 has done more cutting than all of my other runners combined. When I get one of my Craftsman/Poulan rear-handle 38cc saws going, it'll probably be my new go-to saw.

A strong 50cc is more saw than most people need.

This ^ applies to me.

I prefer a 40-50cc pro saw with a 13" bar in .325. My two favourit saws in that size is Husqvarna 242 xpg and Jonsered 2252.

For larger stuff i like to use a 70 cc saw with a 16", 3/8" bar and occasionally a 24" 3/8.

Every time I see a picture posted on this post, I scroll down REAL SLOW, till I am sure it is safe!

 

[computeruser]

Yes, I will be. I need a crank to proceed though. A new one is only $75, but would nice to find a good used one. Or, how about you sell me your saw

Hmmm...not sure about selling, even though I don't use it much, since it has some sentimental significance.

Now if you come up with a good porting formula for that saw, I might send mine down for a visit, along with a 346 or two...

It's 56cc, but I use my Poulan 3400 quite a bit for fire wood.

 

[Toyboy]

Most times I'll use the Poulan 2300AV, the Stihl MS170 or the Husky 51. The other saws in my inventory see very little use except when they're needed.

botch chisel and semi-chisel,

I botched some of that when I hit some old dogchain in an elm.

Just some small saw loving going on over here.
Any body else use their small saw more than their larger saw?
It seems that every one likes to recommend a 70cc saw but when ever I can I grab my small saw. I probably over work it a bit at times but that is why I bought it.
Who else has a sub 45cc saw that they seem to reach for before their larger saw?
Post a pick of your favorite small saw.

Couldn't agree more.
Drop with ported 044/046 MAX (thanks Brad!!!) and then go to work with MS200 rear handle. Everything up to about 8-10". The finish with the MAX.
A LOT easier.

I had a 3400 until earlier today, gave it to a friend that needed a saw.

Does anyone dare to post a pic of a saw with the paint worn off the bar? All this talk about cutting and all the pics look like the saws have avoided that activity for the most part...

Lol that is why I have my bar cover on. All my bars end up ugly. So I keep them under cover.

Use the 3400 quite a bit, just clean all my saws up a bit after I use em.

I love using my echo 330evl only 33cc but it is a great little saw produces good torque it doesn't cut fast but that doesn't bother me dead reliable to, I got a 16 on it a little long in tooth but it carries it fine. i got my old cs 400 that does great it has been rock solid reliable for the past 3 yrs. Currently my largest saw is 50cc my husq 545 i only use it for bucking great zippy saw and very powerful.
All the big wood is gone in the wood lot and now i can do everything with my small saws i don't have a need for a saw over 55cc it would be foolish for me to pack a 70+ cc saw in the wood to down a tree only 20'' across at the trunk.

 

[sawfun]

I always bring a couple of 200t's and one pretty much always get used, usually inconjunction with a 70cc saw. It's rare that I use a 50cc saw but probably less so as I get older.

 

[Sagetown]

I've got 3 saws in the 36cc Class. A sharp pro chain, and pro bar make these lil guy very aggressive.

 

[drf255]

Ported 026/260 or my Echo 330 top handle here. Then my 036. And rarely anything else.

Beautiful setup!!

There are no distributors in the US for those bars, right?

Thanks.

I'm not 100% certain, but i don't think that there is a Iggesund Forest dealer in the US.
The factory and most of the dealers in Europe will ship to the US.

But until very recently, you had a love affair for the 025.

Agreed. Still love that saw.

Have none left.
