Mark, I agree completely. The Partner 500/5000 and Jonsered 490 were the 50cc saws to beat. Jonsered has had a higher performing 50cc saw since the introduction of the 490. After the 490 was the 2051 and then the 2055. Now we have the 2153. I don't think any other brand can make that claim.
I still think a 490 and 2051 will hold it's own against any of today's saws.
There is only one best limbing saw. It is the NE 346XP. Second would be a nice used OE 346XP.
i wonder if thats the model i used to have i remember it was lighter or seemed lighter than my 254 and cut faster this was around 1990Dolmar 111i or 115i...... Easy to start, lightweight, handled excellent, solid saw that was introduced way back in 1986 and had a 20 year sales history with many happy users. Would wear trolls fav .325" or the more durable 3/8" bar and chain combos from 15"-20" and had torque enough to handle it.

Who had the best 50cc saw, for limbing
and etc?
:jawdrop:
That has to be a joke - that is a relic that weights as much as the MS361, and the 361 will get the job done much faster.
Btw, the 361 also handles better and (at least he Euro one) accellerates a lot better than the 5100S, and was my favourite limbing saw until I got the 346xp.

it says Stihl on it.they can't swallow their pride and buy a Husky so they are grabing at straws.pretty sad.i run mostly Husky but i have a couple of Stihls because i just like that particular model.i even have a Huky that will smoke iot but i still just like the Stihl.Husky's are better saws though.

Before the 346xp or the ps5100s or ms 260?

WTF would you know about it? I know what you can swallow, but I can assure you it isn't my pride.
I have stated many times on this site that my next saw would likely be a Jonsered 2153.
If you keep your mouth shut, $hit won't run out of it...

The joke is on you Troll!!!!!:greenchainsaw:
The 028 has cut more wood than those torqueless wonders you champion.
Look at all of the 028s still running, the value that they hold, and the popularity of maintenance and rebuild threads on this very site.
Comparing a 1970's saw to a 21st century saw is laughable at best. The 361 will have to cut for years before it will equal the take of the 028.
The truth....embrace it.

Where I live the so called" limbing saws , sub 50cc, are our every day saws. Perfect for pulp wood. Here is what I have owned;
Partner 5000, Jonsered 490,590, Husky 242,246,346, Stihl 024,024S,026,260,028,028S, Redmax 5000, Dolmar 115si and5100.
Favorite --242, ported 246 close 2nd.
