The music helps. If it were country the saws would look slower

Sectioning rounds that are too heavy to lift onto the splitter is a PITA and not so efficient IMO. Much prefer 6-18" dbh for firewood. Also, a 50cc saw is useful for thinning white pine stands on our property.
Hell with that , I better be getting paid if iam getting down like that

I heated my house for years with a 2150 Jonsered with a 16 inch bar, and a 3.0 Craftsman with an 18 inch bar. I found this site when I picked up some big old Homelite that needed work. That's when I started buying saws. Bigger saws!
Time goes on and I see the Jonsered Tag it and bag it sale. I go in for a 2153, and mistakingly bought a 2152 for a really great price. About 3 months later I find a deal on some Huskys from a down on his luck tree guy. ( CRACK ) With this group of saws was a 346 with about 3 tanks run through it. Since then I have parted with all my 55 to 65cc saw except for one. They were so obsolete for my needs. And my back and hands thank me.
Since then I'm accumulating smaller saws and can honestly say my firewood pile doesn't know the difference.

EF THAT!!! Not unless I'm getting paid enough to rent machines would I take home firewood like that.
Seriously, I'm finding out that its just about as cheap to burn the natural gas as it is to cut and haul wood that size. And my truck and body thank me.
I agree with you. This is actually a NE. After installing the 357XP intake tract, I installed the old style cylinder cover without provisions for the purge bulb. I also installed a 353 clutch cover.

That looks like a fool's errand to me if you're talking firewood.
Seriously, I haven't cut much wood that size, but when I did, it went to the saw mill on something like this:

I used think I wouldn't like a small saw till I got my 2152, converted it to a 2153, installed the 359 carb,intake,air filter and then I got my 2159 now I cut 75% of my wood with those 2 saws! I have a ported 2186 & 288 so it's not like I don't have 2 good big saws to use either

Are these saws just for racing, or can they be used cutting firewood?
