As a chainsaw horder ive accumulated a few dozen units. I got to thinking today, what i would choose if i could only have 3 chainsaws. Pretty scary!!!
So heres my three:

1.Big saw= poulan 5200 countervibe 36" bar full wrap.

2.Medium all around saw= poulan farm pro 375 24" bar half wrap

3. Little limber=Poulan super 25DA 12"-14" bar w/ climbers ring just in case.

Anybody care to share there 3?
 
034 av ms250 or 026 pro and a 170 stihl is my go to 3

MS361, any 82cc MAC and SP125C. Sentimental saws excluded, of course. If they had to be new that would be tough. Probably only have two, likely a 461 and something around 60ccs likely a Husky. Doubt I would own three. Down at the woodlot, I see this combination among the new Stihl crowd 241, 362 and 661. RWW
 
Boy... What a question....
My 3 would probably have to be:

* Brushing saw=Remington PL-55,
*Medium/all-around=Remington PL-7,
*Big dog=Mac 125.

If the list could consist of saws you don't currently own, then I would replace the PL-7 with a Remington Super 880.[emoji16]
 
If i could pick a 3 list out of other brands i have it would be these
Stihl- 056, ms440, ms 361
Homelite- xl 923, super xl, super ez
 
Lets consider bearings that have the same bearings on both sides..

Husqvarna 394xp (I've run bigger saws and don't see the point of going bigger)
Husqvarna 372xp - SUPER easy to get parts for, oem and aftermarket
Husqvarna 350 - (to me this is better than the 346xp because it has the same 6202 bearings on both sides of the chassis)
 
2.3 Craftsman top-handle (preferably one with anti-vibe), MS361, and probably a Homelite 750 with a full wrap. I got the first two, but now I need the third...
