A 60cc saw and a 90cc saw.

What I use now:
036 w/20" and 660 w/28" or 32"

My Stihl 361 and 026. Those have served me well for my firewood needs so far.

My setup

If i could only choose 2 saws it would be a Husky 357XP w/ 16-18" bar, and a 372 with a 28" bar. That is my setup, an i love it. I can drop trees with the biggun and buck em with the little un'. With that setup i havent run across any thing i cant cut or haul.

If I could only have 2 saws :
I'd choose my 660 and my 260pro.

I think that would well for just about everything.
But, Thank God we don't have to have just 2 saws....

346xp and 372xp.

Dolmar 7900 and husky NE346xp

I'd start boxing up her shoes , knick-knacks and pots-n-pans. She can have a pair to go to work in and a pair to go to dinner in, She can keep what fits on her dresser for knicknacks and lets see her cook with a two egg pan and a 6 quart kettle.

Of course this is a sorespot for me and probably should have kept it repressed.

A 40cc and a 60cc does what I'd need them to do without tearing out my shoulder again.

Dolmar PS7900 and Husky 357XP if I have to pick from current models.

If I could have any two, it would be a Husky 281XP or 288XP and a 262XP.

Take Care

If I could only have two saws that were specifically for firewood, I would go with a Dolmar 5100s and a Dolmar 7900. Yeah Baby! That's the two!

MS-660 & MS-361

Now ask a hard question.

Firewood? 359 and 372 do just fine by me. Climbing? Top handle and 359. Milling? Hot 385 and 395.

441 and 660.

I'm happy with 044 and 026. Hardly cut anything bigger than 25" hardwoods so it suits me well. 026 with 16" and 044 with 25"

Echo CS-370 and CS-530.

In Jred (don't care for funky bent handle orange saws):

2153 with 16 - 18" bar for limbing and small stuff
2186 with 24" bar for most everything else & a spare 28 - 32" bar for big stumps & such.
Would also consider a 2171 in place of the 2186 depending on the size of stuff I anticipated cutting.

In Stihl:

260 Pro with 16 - 18" bar for limbing and small stuff
MS660 with 25" bar & spare 36" bar for big stuff.
While I really like my 036 Pro it just doesn't fit well in a 2 saw limit question.
Would also consider a 460 in place of the 660 if cutting mostly smaller stuff (which I do now).

Stihl MS460 and John Deere CS62

Either a 084 or 880 with a 42" bar & a 044 or 460 w 25" to start. Sometimes the 660 with 36" isnt quite big enough.

460 and 180

Stihl and Husqvarna (or maybe Jonsered).
