I have a WickedWorkSaw Jonsered 2260. With a sharp chain it will hold its own against most. Terry builds a nice saw. It has a major performance boost from being red and black. :)

I'm bored so I will comment. Education vs experience. Happens in all fields of work. In the Army, the experienced and proficient enlisted soldier is led by a Lieutenant. The LT has a degree, and not much else. After working for 20 or 30 years the stigma still follows most enlisted...

There are lots of fun things to do with one's time. In order for them to be considered a hobby, they have to be expensive and time consuming. As hobbies go, climbing is not bad on the expense scale. SCUBA, Soaring, target shooting, and Cars all run higher in the cost column.

As far as non-ethanol gas, there is none within 30 miles of me except for the quart cans I saw at TS I don't care what saw you purchase, if you store it with ethanol gas in it you will get to purchase another one. Either drive the 30 miles and mix you own, or buy it in cans 40:1. If you...

Echo 271. It just starts and cuts and sits till the next time. Gets used more than all my other saws, that's why I sold them.

Jonsered 2253 WickedWorkSaw 3/8 full comp. 4 tanks of fuel run through this saw. Never any ethanol in this one.

Any of the saws you are hearing about will be overkill for what you are saying you are going to be cutting. The performance of the saws you tried was at least 50% due to their chain and sprocket. For any wood up to 20" a ported 60cc saw with a sharp chain will keep up with any of the mentioned...

It gets hot and humid here in Alabama. Not quite as hot as OK, but pretty hot. Take time to drink fluids when you refuel saw. Usually wear a wet rag around neck. Keep the rag wet. Cutting with a chainsaw is not going to be comfortable in the Summer. That's why I cut mainly in early Fall or...

I wear eye, ear, chaps, boots and gloves every time. Helmet if climbing or felling. I own 3 pair of chaps. If you run one of my saws, you wear them. If you don't want to, that's fine. You run someone else's saw.

If you are asking basic questions like this, then you probably are not a saw tuning expert. That is why I settled on two auto tune saws after owning several of the idolized saws on here. The auto tune saw will keep you cutting efficiently. Since price is no issue, and you don't have a local...

Ported 365 XT with baffles removed is hard to beat money wise. If you are going to be running 24" and under bars, my preference is a ported 60cc saw.

Non ethanol + Bel-Ray H1-R. Let it sit in a non vented container as long as you like.

Tlandrum has a thread on here somewhere where he did a 385 that I ended up owning. Lots of good info in that thread. The saw was amazing.

The 271 is my most used saw. I climb with it and use it for anything 10" or under.

Thanks for the effort to rebuild this. One of my favorites. I didn't realize the pics could just disappear, till one day they were gone.

Mastermind 346 XP has a faithful cult following on here. I sold mine because it was always second choice to the WWS 2253. Both saws set up with 16" 3/8. Mastermind 372 XT is a very strong saw. Sold mine in order to learn to use a lighter more aggressive WWS 2260. WWS 2188 is a strong saw...

$1,100.00 with chains and shipped lower 48.

Reminds me of this:

Take a digging iron and your favorite saw and a sharp chain on a new bar and go make a flower planter out of a 45" oak stump using plunge cuts. When the bar tip is smoking from oil vaporizing when it hits the tip which is changing color it makes me think that maybe there is a lot of heat...

The WWS 2253 is why I sold the Mastermind 346 XP. The WWS 2260 is why I sold the Mastermind 372 XT. Jonsered doesn't have the cult following of some of the others, but when Terry fires up his 2260 people take notice. I love the AT as I can't tune a saw like some of you on here can. People...
