Do I need a new saw

[echomeister]

I got 7 trees 25-30 inch diameter to cut up. I have a start with my echo 450p but each cut is quite a chore on the big stuff. So how much easier would this work be with a 620P 24" bar. Might I kill my 450 trying to get this stuff cut up.
I got a quote for a 620p-24 at $609.00

Here is the tired guy caught taking a break.




Thanks

Yeah, you need a bigger saw, especially because you want a bigger saw.

Take a look on the Trading Post here. There are a few on there that will fit the bill for considerably less money.

This is a bad place to ask a question like that. You probably need 4 new saws...60cc/70cc/80cc/90cc then you can cover bar lengths from 18-32".

If you need us to justify another bigger saw I'm sure we can help. Lol

I believe you would like the 620.

 

[LonestarStihl]

You definitely need another...and another...and another. Ask your dealer when they are having the echo dealer days again because you can get them 20% off.

 

[Khntr85]

Ummmm....yes!!

From the size of the tree you have pictured, you might look at saws in the 70-80 cc class. If you only cut a few trees this size, a good used saw should do the job for you.

is it just to cut that one log? lol keep a look on local craigslist for a $20 poulan 245A or something else 70cc. they get'er done for the money. that 450 would easily do that job piece of cake with a good chain though.

7 tree's, 25 to 30 inch.

Who wants to run a vibrating old 245?! No thanks.

We are only talking a $600 investment for a robust, modern saw that will be up to the task. We aren't asking him to buy a skidder and prentis truck!

There is a beautiful older Dolmar here on the Trading Post that would be more than up to the task of bucking up those trees.

Every once in a blue moon or so, someone asks if they need a smaller saw?

You haven't even wore the paint off the bar yet keep going

 

[grack]

If that's all you have to cut
I would just get a 590 3-350 new off ebay or home depot
Mine still runs great after 4 year's wearing a 24 inch bar stihl rs

 

[Big Block]

Yes you need a bigger saw.
I don't think you will kill your 450p but I bet it's slow. Your time is worth money too. A 590 or 620 would make pretty quick work of that and both are rated to oil a 27 inch bar. I would how ever suggest a full skip chain. A muffler mod and tune is advised too.

You can't go wrong with a good 70-80cc class saw either. Be it Stihl Echo Husqvarna Dolmar. There is a ported Husqvarna 390 in the trading post right now.

Too late.....unless the OP bought it!

I knew I could count on you guys. Your support on this issue is making me cry a bit. I feel the love and support you have
extended to me in my time of need. I told my wife it would be a shame if I had a heart attack forcing that little saw through that wood.
She said that would be OK but I asked what would she do for firewood in that case. Welll lets not discuss the answer as it left me out.

Much love to you guys... I gotta go collect myself and wipe off the stripe on my credit card....

every day on AS is a good day for a new saw--and a bigger saw thats just more-better!!--LOL

yea a timber wolf 590 or 620p or a stihl 044-440 or husky 372/272 johnsred 670 ect--

that 450p will cut that -- but it will be time consuming.

we had a huge widomaker oak blow down at church and all the decons jumped on it with 40cc pull-anns

after a few days and a pickup truck load of cheap bars and chains they got it whittled down--but it was not a pretty sight---

 

[echomeister]

Trigger pulled!!!

CS-620p-24

Caught the echo 20% off sale. Out the door for $473.00

Does that count as a U suck ??

I don't have it yet, shop had to order it.
