Old Muscle, Your Favourite Sounding Chainsaw?

[camel2019]

My old eatons with an power products 6hp engine sounds great so does my John Deere 30.
But the pioneer 620’s has a place above all else.

My Homelite super xl 925 was a handful and would get up to speed quick,screaming the whole day through. A great saw I should have kept.

My favorite is the 298XP. Was a PITA to start though----forget about drop starting!

Jonsered 621--nice idle-deep

All of the 70s era Jonsereds, from the 451 to the 111 have that distinctive Jonsered idle.

I really like the sound of the older Poulan 3400,3700,4000 saws.

I'll add to that the 111 has a more "machine sound" when cutting. I really don't know how else to describe it. Its a bit like hearing the distinct transmission noise on an old 4 speed muscle car.

My Pro Mac 700 with out the flap in the muffler, will wake the dead! Also my Super 250 with stick muffler.

My Jonsered Super 930 sounds bad ass just sitting there idling!!
Too heavy to lug around for long but its a beast.

They have a sound all to their own, especially when they’re idling.
