What saw did you start out with??????

[lly_duramax]

Mine was a Stihl 034AV that belongs to my dad and I was 14 or 15.

 

[Fumducker]

Homelite 925 super xl when I was 13. Dad and I had to team up to start it.

1996 Hus55 was given to me as a gift by my former boss...

first purchase was a 262xp with less than 5 hours on it...got it for $300 Sold it the following year and 25 cords later for $350...replaced it with a 372XP with less than 3 hours run time for $325...

and thats how this horrible fun all started....

I bought a woodlot in 1994 and it had some pretty large Oak trees, bought a brand new Husqvarna 272XP........WHAT A SAW! Seems like it was $550. I probably should not have bought it, I have had over 200 saws since.

first saw

sears 758g 24" bar and 1/2" chain was my dads and is in my cellar today complete except filter I think it is 95cc gear drive. I hate to say this but it was back in 1968 or 69 the first time I ran it. 22.4 lbs without bar. still have the book on it.

I started with a pro saw first thing at the ripe old age of 33.:msp_wink: A Poulan Pro 40cc. What a piece of junk. First "real" saw was a Husqvarna 350.

 

[blsnelling]

Believe it or not, a Stihl 039. I bought it new, shortly after my Dad bought his 046 Magnum. It never gave me one ounce of trouble. After coming to AS, I sold it and bought a 036 Pro. Then it was a MS260, which was the first saw I ever ported. The rest is all history.

First saw Stihl 025 mighty fine for a little saw.

 

[Andyshine77]

First saw I bought myself was a Mcculloch timber bear, I think I was 14 when I bought it. I ran that thing for a good 15 years without any issues, it was heavy, loud and slow, but it had good torque and did what I needed it to.

First saw I ran was my dad's 024 when I was around 12. My first saw was an 031. Still have it if anybody want to buy it.:msp_rolleyes:

Nice old saw. I'll pay shipping if you want to send it to me. Ain't worth much.

My dad's fleet comprised of an 08, 028, and 031, but the 08 was the saw i started on. I just got the old 031 going this summer...more for nostalgic sake than to use. He bought the 08 new in the late 60's or early 70's. It was probably 15 or so years old when I started using it and he still has it and uses it today. They are heavy, slow, etc., but dependable saws imo. I ended up building a powerhead for an earth auger out of one a couple years ago.

 

[hoeyrd2110]

My grand pops eager beaver when I was 13. But MY first saw was a 40cc sears I bought in 07. My dad has it with a 16" bar on her. Then I got the 42cc sears and did a MM then CAD set in now I can't count high enough....

I started heating with wood in 2007 and purchased my MS361 for the task. That was the first of many really excellent days... and more saws.
