Whats your best saw?

[Scooterbum]

I reach for my 028S the most.
Husky 480CD for the big stuff and blocking up.

And to think I only had 2 saws last Oct. and was happy..........
AS is BAD........BAD I tell Ya...........
That's what my Mama always said.

Another vote here for the 357xp!

 

[oldsaw]

We did this not too long ago. My answer remains the same. If I had to keep only one, the 066 would stay. If it has to be one you own, and milling was out of my life, then the Super XL gets the nod...but only because I don't have a 460 or 372.

Fair enough?

And the Choice Is?

Easy Choice...STIHL MS361!

 

[lumberjackchef]

If you can only pick one its gotta be my modded Stihl 066.

My 036 pro, ported by me is my favorite work saw. My overall favorite is my 3120 husky racesaw. Alcohol/nitromethane fuel, stroked crank, pipe, ooooooooh I get a chubby just waiting for the racing season to get here. Oldsaw's 3120 used to be my favorite by far, but I had to cut it from the herd.

At the moment for what I am doing, the 357xpg gets my vote

 

[SawTroll]

Dang, that's a purty saw! I see you got the conneticut dawg option , those weren't available when I got mine :hmm3grin2orange:
.... :hmm3grin2orange:

Upside down?

...but I am no expert on dawgs.......

My 041 Farmboss has the most sentimental value, because it was the first new saw that I bought, I used money recieved from my high school graduation party in 1976 and still have the saw.
If I only had one saw, it would have to be my husky 359

 

[spike60]

Jonsered 2156WH and Solo 651pro. (Hey, everybody else is picking 2)

Best saw? One? That's tough, I've got best saws for their task for sure. My MS200t is absolutely the best saw I've ever used in a tree, what a ripping' little machine. One of my 028Supers is prolly my favorite, most picked up & used saw. My first Pro saw, bulletproof and just feels like it's an extension of my arm even at the end of a long day, most ergonomic Stihl ever produced (for me). For the big mutha stumps, big blocking, big wood my nod goes to the Husky 2100. Not that ergo, but can you say power.

So,... one overall "best", huh? That's gotta be my 036. My first new purchase pro saw and still running like newly broken in. My best "overall" saw I guess. Great felling, bucking and blocking saw. Good at limbing and can be used 50' up the stick if need be. Used to be my "big" saw before the 2100 fell into my lap, so I know she can do the big stuff when called upon.

Good thread, many interesting reads. I like to hear what others have to say 'bout their favorite saws. It's all good.

one for each duty??

The way things go at my place as I'm not as established as some of the gentlemen at this site is the best one is the one thats working that day.

That one consistently has been a little E series (we think.. just has the serial number and some cues from the body) Jonsereds. That and its called Jonsereds so that dates it somewhat. Always starts. Never worked on. Spent $45 on it at a local junk shop. Most money I put into a saw.. yet.

Otherwise for nifty rigs about the place that seem to each have a role when running.. and the costs are funny.. I'd say to start my older two trigger super 2 from homelite with a sugi hara bar for $25.. or $20... good for ice fishing I'm told.. got that from a small engine guy while parts hunting.

The one I stare at and wonder what I'll do with is a David Bradley 360 917.60013. That one runs great.. the recoil is a little wiggy. May just have to really retension the spring instead of the temp fix I did. $25 running at the junk shop down the street.

O.K. yes I'll mention it.. as you all who have seen me around expect me to.. AND it should hopefully be running this week thanks entirely to PEST..... that Partner P85 that I found at the dump for $10. Don't know about it yet as it hasn't run yet. May be a wonderful parts saw as all the parts that are good on it are the ones that typically break. Hopefully will be a strong runner and help get me going.

Interested in P100 or 111s type saws. Or one of those arctic Jreds. Most skidders are run here when its winter so thats always a consideration.. otherwise its about sizing cordwood.. or art.. or heck even taking down unwanted trees for the town or a homeowner (aknowledging that the name of this site is arboristsite.com). Not so crazy about all the plastic thats crept onto saws over the years. Real welding or JB welding are options I like. Guess thats enough for this post

And I'm very happy with your "cast-off", Andy. Come and visit it again anytime. Should have a good pile of logs in March... It has a very good home now.
