[QUOTE="drf255, post: 7215676, member: 126014"] My advice, Spring is upon us. Look for a GTG on this site (or the forbidden one) and try a few saws, ported and stock. Personal preference plays a huge role in picking a saw, and you guessed it, only you will know that. A lot depends on what size you are cutting most, and what you will need to cut on occasion. A big saw is a one saw plan, but I wouldn’t want to limb with a 395 all day, that’s for sure. FWIW, I’m firewood only and use a ported 395 to cut any rounds over 28”. I could use a smaller saw, but the 395 allows me to use 404 and cut almost all day on one chain with a 36” bar. Then I noodle the 36-48” rounds with an 036/044 hybrid or 462. Limbing is the job of a 261 Stihl, but the 036 or 462 could take the place if it if needed. Just an example for you, YMMV. [/QUOTE]
