Maybe some of you have used them all. If you were only allowed to own one saw (out of this group), which one would it be? I'm just curious about the answers.

Husqvarna 365
Husqvarna 562XP
J-Red 2260 (same as 562)
Stihl MS362
Dolkita 6421
Echo CS-620
 
562 for obvious reasons


But i really want to try a MS363 if I ever get a chance.

60cc saws are perfect for the size of trees i do 90% of the time. But i do run into some were i need a big saw

I will go for the husky 365 tried and true simple saw with room to grow. Second choice is the dolkita 64xx saws. Still wanna try a 620p but I would have to find a deal or burnt up saw firsr. They hold the value used round here.
 
562 but only other out of the list that I've run is a 365. Probably, not a fair comparison since my 562 is ported.
 
Maybe I am wrong.

I like my oe ms362 over my cs590 and my 262xp (not much run time on this one yet). It's a bit fat, but is smooth and powerful and rolls around nicely. It doesn't flip. It rolls. Smoooth.

I have only held a Dolmar 6100 (on two separate occasions) and I found it to be a very odd feeling saw. VERY fat, handlebar angles weird to me, and heavy feeling. Maybe if I actually ran one it would be different. Maybe it was the colour. I held two different green ones. Eeeew.

562xp; what can I say, a light sabre of snappy power. I have very little run time on one, but it is a quick and snappy saw. But you gotta keep it in the sweet spot.
