Used to do evertything with a Jred 630 or 670. I got older and the saws got heavier. Still great for bucking but not so for limbing. Got a little Echo CS346 for that and love it. Feather light and plenty of power (muffler mod) makes clearing brush and limbing a breeze. If I'm felling small diameter trees (12" or less) I'll even use the Echo for that but will usually buck with one of the bigger saws. The 630 in preference.

I bring the 2159 w/ a 18" b&c. For all the limbing and smaller tree felling. And a 2172 with a 24" b&c for any big stuff. Really want a 2153. But I can handle the weight of the 60 cc saw fine for all day cutting.

I run a Dolly 510 and a 6400. I have a 16" on the 510 and a 20" on the 6400 most of the time, but some times i put the 28" on if needed:msp_biggrin:

Thats a great real-world 2-saw plan there with the 510 for average-sized and the 6400 for medium to large-sized wood. Not the quickest, but not much that combo won't handle.

The 510 I find is an under appreciated firewood saw here on AS. Its one of Dolmar's better selling models around here, judging by what I see in saw shops.

I use a 24" on the 372 most of the time with an 8 pin. Occasionally I'll put a 20" on it or a 32" if needed.

doesnt that 24 cramp up your back ? i just keep a 32 on the saw so can stand upright ,and not be so hunched over ,nice for limbing too dont have to reach so far

I think so. I have not run in to anything I cant handle yet! I love my little 510, I've never run a 5105 but for a firewood saw I think the 510 will do just as good. Although I am wanting to upgrade the 6400 to the 79cc oem kit soon? CAD I guess! But i would say i use my 510 alot more than the 6400. Good little saw!
