Supreme Saw Whoreder
Just picked this Echo 900 up today, only given it the Dano start test outside my garage, probably will not see wood until the WKY GTG at the end of September.

Tlandrum 385 ubtill
Ilucked into a 385 xp ported by Terry. It's really a blast running htat saw in wood. When I get back the 2188 he is working on it will be a tough choice.
Funny thing, my 346XP ported by Mastermind is the hardest to pull without comp. It acts like a big saw. But for cutting anything over about 25" the 385 shines.
When the 2188 comes home it really won't be fair, seeing how Red and Black pumps up the revs and HP.

Hack from way back.
088 unimpressed for the weight. Won't buy one. It was all fresh Stihl and muf mod exit. I hate my 660's. Built an OEM 046 (not run yet). Another BB quad port ms460 dp muf. No real opinion yet. Needs to be cut, ported and advanced, three tanks so far. Pulls good. Same thing in a 6400 to 8400 Mik.
Got nuttin else to say but, find me a cheap 80+cc basket case to play with. Something liken to a Z5000 and will see.

Out of the two I've had/have. The J-red 820 pulled hard. But I prefer my 660 mag. Actually it's the only saw I really use.

What does it weigh? That looks clean. Might make a nice hopped up work saw. Lets talk about that. PM me.

Looks like that 900 of mine really hooked you didn't it? Looks like you got a nice one, working chainbrake? Hard to find one with that.
Sorry! Here's my 084 that i use on the bigger wood, this saw is retiring after this years fire wood season.

Dano approved testing!

Trying them all
I use my MS660. I have had a Stihl 070 for a while now but haven't encountered anything worthy of hauling it to a jobsite. Ironically I started the 070 in the shop today just to make sure it still worked and I needed to hear some chainsaw noise instead of just the rain beating on the roof. While I was doing that, I was thankful that Dano takes all the heat for something many of us do.
Using the terms in the OP's question.. "favorite" & "go to".........Two eighty eight, ex pee!!!
