Red saw lover
One saw for all around firewood work says 60cc/20" bar to me. There's only one of those on your list...
Clever!
I’m trying to be practical and not spend a ton of money on a saw I’m not going to use every day.... but all bets are off when I’m at the dealer holding those badass pro saws......
It would. A 510x with an 18" bar would handle most people's cutting needs. Once the dream of 14.5k is cast aside they are stone reliable, torquey saws. I'm actually cleaning components to put one back together tonight. I always seem to have one around.Too bad the Dolkita's are such an oddity. Really solid feeling saws for the money.
Only handled the 421/4300 and 6421. But I'd guess the 5000 would be a great saw for what you are needing.
I looked at a husky 545.... very nice saw.Did you happen to handle a Husqvarna 555?
Yeah... I know everyone loves the Timberwolf but I just didn’t like it. I hate the cheesy choke control and on/off switch. I looked at the 490 as well and though I liked the size/weight, again I felt like I would break the choke control off in about a day. Sorry that’s just my opinion!590 felt bulky but a PLASTIC 291 felt solid??
P&R sub forum.Where is the A.S. safe space??
I didn’t like the feel of the Echo Cs590.... too bulky and cumbersome. Also IMHO the echos just felt cheap, despite the split mag crank case
You should seriously consider this saw.

Buy yourself a nice set of chaps, some hearing protection, and a couple loops of RS. You'll be set to cut 4-5 cord for the next decade, and have $$ left to take the family out for a steak dinner. You want sensible? There you go.
