    50 cc Firewood saw opinion

    I've read alot of discussions about what chainsaw is best for firewood. There are definitely many good saws for this applications. I've cut hundreds of cords of firewood with a stihl 260 . In 20 plus years I've had that saw I've put a carburetor kit in it and that's it been a great saw. God...

    555 or 365

    Well I think I'm gonna do the 555 with the 20 inch bar but he may talk me into the 365. I'm working everyday. So I haven't been able to get there to see him. But first opportunity. I've got some great advice. Definitely hooked on all of this wood cutting stuff

    555 or 365

    Yeah it's super fun. I could do that all day. I just got a 4 wheeler with a trailer. I just cut rounds out in the woods and haul it back to house when I fill. That's one of my favorite things to do. Good advice about the saw. My dealer is really good so I'm pretty lucky there

    Lol I agree but she got me Yes agree but she got me the gift card and insisted I get one. She said oh well you'll have 3. But I think the line is pretty dark now. But I'm French so if one saw is good then three is way better. My dad gave me his after Christmas so it was already in the works

    555 or 365

    I posted earlier that I had a jonsered 2149 and a stihl 210. Most recently I sold my 210 cause my wife agreed with herself that I only need 2 saws. She got me a gift certificate to the local husky shop. I was all set to get a 555 but my dad threw a monkey wrench in my saw plans and gave me...

    Need some help

    After a spirited conversation with my bride we agreed on a two saw plan. My jonsered has a huge amount of sentimental value so basically it's a one saw plan. I sold my Stihl so I was thinking 60cc should cover my needs. I was really considering the echo 620 pw just because I can run a longer...

    Need some help

    The woodlot is mixed hardwood. My property I'll mostly be cutting white birch and a lot of hemlock. I also plan on making a small 4 wheeler trail around my property for my son so that will be all kinds of different cutting.

    Need some help

    Most Everything I'll be cutting will be under 24. Just got a couple blow downs that are little bigger and those are softwood I was thinking maybe a 60 would be enough but maybe a 70 would be better. I think your right that a bigger saw may get tiring on the smaller stuff and that's most of my...
