Out, standing in my field.
OK, I am thinking about getting a bigger saw to pull a 24" bar. My MS310 works hard and is a good saw, but when I get into the big stuff, it really has a hard time.
I have also gotten into some (not tons, but some) wood that is bigger than 40", meaning I need to come up with a longer bar, and the MS310 just isn't going to pull a longer bar. And I want a backup saw anyway.
That being said, here are the current saws under consideration:
Stihl MS 441 - I have a Stihl now. I like my Stihl. There is a good Stihl dealer about 25 miles away. This is the one I am leaning towards, but it is the most expensive.
Dolmar 7910 - Bigger displacement. There is a Dolmar dealer about 15 miles away. This is my #2 choice.
Husky 372XP - Everyone that has one likes them. I don't have a Husky dealer nearby, so I would probably buy online
Husky 576XPAT - Another popular choice here. Less $$ than Stihl. Same as the 372, no local dealer.
So, I know this has been asked before by a lot of people, but what is everyone's opinion?
