The Stihl Lightning comes to mind, although I have never run one. Pretty revolutionary for it's time. The Mac Super Pro 125/ 101B is a real gem as well, very powerful for a one man saw. Dolmar 7900 is one saw that has the most impressive power to weight ratios that I have run. Husky372XP maybe should be mentioned as well.

The best doesn't exist...

It'd look like an SP-125, sound like a Super 250 with a free-idling flatback, run like a piped/V-12 dual carbed/alky 101 and run on water, and be as easy-handling and flickable as a 372.

200t, just 'cause it's bad as bad gets for what it is!

The 5100 has impressed me a lot so far, everything you should get from a modded saw, shipped that way from the factory!

I'll let go of my poor Husky 350 if it ever melts down, but it seems it will out live me! Starts every time, never complains, will do about anything a saw that size can be expected to do.

As for the 361/2, I'd rather carry a 440 for no more than it weighs, then I might just go ahead and get a 7900!

Really liked the Husqvarna 2100 but never really had a need for it.

MINI MACS ROCK !!! :rock:
