If You Could Only Have One Chainsaw Forever...

[user 188535]

If you were only able to have ONE chainsaw forever, which would it be?

For now, I would say an 011 or my MS 261 C-M.

What about you?

As a novice/hobbyist, I cannot live without my Stihl MS 170.

500I or Husky 572. Flip a coin.

Same here, but I would have several, only have 7 of them currently, ported of course. LOL

 

[JohnnyBlade]

Jred 670 or a 2159.
Or their orange cousins.

Stop being silly, that's like saying if I could only have one golf club what would it be.

This one:

Stihl MS 361 that I bought new 14 years ago and I still own it. Runs perfectly.

Any 1127 series saw. Over their 20 year run, they have cut a lot of wood, both by homeowners and professionals.

Assuming parts readily available forever also and fuel and it still being legal to run.
Personally I would pick something that is not held together with JB Weld and sticky tape, opt for a saw well suited to my needs- not anybody elses and our timber species.

2159 with 20 inch bar and 3/8 chain.

9 iron and a 200T.
Ground use definitely the MS361

Beat me to it. Bought mine when they were $519. Amazing power to weight.

I have a minty 011 that I rarely use. Trade it for your 261

What about an 015L and a box of parts for it? The thing is a major pain in the a$$ for my inexperienced self. I need my 261 though. It is kinda my biggest saw, and we have a lot of big wood in Virginia. I got it on my 14th birthday with my own money ( NOT sponsored by mommy and daddy ) and it was nice that there were some major storms before my birthday, and I even had some cleanup jobs lined up for after.

Either my 590 or my 620P. Runs a 24” bar pretty good for me, rips with a 20. Both of them start ridiculously easy, super reliable, and parts are available for days. Only problem is they’re a tad heavy, but it’s not near as bad as some make it out to be

 

[snobdds]

Stihl 361 for me too. I have a couple new in the box just chilling in a climate controlled environment. They do need a muffler mod.

The last quad port true 2 stroke from stihl.
