You must choose one saw....

For me...it would have to be my 562...

064, 461 or better yet, a 462 and keep my fingers crossed that it's reliable.

 

[cuinrearview]

Nope. You can't have that. Pick another.

Reading comp is not a required to get the card...

When I choose a saw I will choose a different saw each hour. I have looked at the great saws previously mentioned, but I still need eleven. How could one saw be used to limb and cut a 48'' log? Never happen. It is true that a 660 might be some what of a workout. Thanks

I think the point of the thread is being missed. Or maybe I'm missing it. Correct me if I'm wrong Steve, but I think you're looking for what the one saw we would like in our shed that we haven't tried that we think would fit all of our needs. It's easy to pick 11 saws for all of our purposes, or one or two of our favorites that we've owned/ran.

I would pick my ported 562.

One of the 50cc saws I've built from case halves. And a stack of bars and chains.

But that's easy right?

Of my saws.....MS440 with a 28" bar. I should try a 25" bar. Did not like the 20" on my old 044.

If you own the red version of a Swede can you choose the orange sister??

Lol. Not for sake of argument

 

[svk]

The Stihl 500 injected model I've already got a verbal commitment to pay for as soon as it can be brought in from Germany. Mostly since my bars & chains will fit

Are those actually going to be available? They sound fantastic.

Correct. If all of your saws were gone and you could choose one to suit the majority of your needs AND it needs to be a model you've never owned.

288xp ...light .. nib.. hi-top ...never owned one........no computers with a 1 saw plan ....and will need someone to pack it in and out of the woods ....cause damb still isn't light ..........

 

[tla100]

Rumor has it that some time in the next twelve months it will first be available in Germany, where a person known to an acquaintance is willing to pack one up for export to us. I have offered to pay for the whole ride so I can play with one without having to wait for the wave of the release to arrive in the states. No idea if I will be one of the first few, but I want to have as much time with it to try one out before I run out of energy to put into chain saw play. Part of the deal is also as a preteen listening to the hot rodders talk about hilborn injection on small block Corvette engines still has influence on my attitude!Also my understanding is that the powerhead has been used on concrete cutters for a few years.
Stay safe and warm Folks

Stihl 461.

You must choose one saw for your cutting needs....only caveat is you cannot choose a saw of any model you own or have ever owned.

What do you choose?

I will go with a 262 Husky.

I can't answer your question, But will comment on your choice. I'd take a 357xp over a 262 any day.
