If you could only have one saw to use

[hanniedog]

What would you get if your only source of parts was ebay. Just curious. I am thinking 262xp

Right now it is my Poulan 445 70.7cc

Hard to be an MS440 for ebay parts availability/1 saw plan

If something happened and I had to I would keep my 046

It's those proprietary parts on the 046/460 that kept me from picking it.

Very understandable. If I didn't already have it and I was going off another brand I would do a 372xp or Jred 2171. I really like the 70cc size.

I say that but my 361 is growing on me

1. MS440.....1/2 lb lighter and broader power band than 372. 25% more hp than 361 comes in handy at times.
2. 372xp......Plan B is always a good idea

1. MS660.....If my main priority was 36" mill use and limited use elsewhere

I would have to go with my old reliable Mac 10-10. It has never failed me, points ignition has been ultra reliable and she always starts in 3-6 pulls without the benefit of a primer bulb. It has cut through anything I've put it in. It was my only saw for a couple years. Now I am up to 4 ( may need to attend a CAD meeting )

It would be my Jonsered 2065 Turbo.

I was considering the 660 as well because of milling and it. An still be used for standard cuts. I like the 440 as well really I'd do any 70cc because I like that class

Dolmar 7900--out cut all the 70cc to 80cc for less money.

036/360/361 are my go to saws. I have a 460 as well but it mostly collects dust.

 

[Jet47]

Jonsered 2260

 

[hseII]

MS461

 

[procarbine2k1]

044. I wouldn't kick a 262 outta bed either

Good saw but parts are 500% higher from what I've seen....$100 vs $20 for a C&P.

461 is a good one.

Wish an mtronic/spring av variant in the 70-75cc range would come out. Otherwise my 461 is about perfect.

 

[hanniedog]

Keep in mind guys you have only ebay as a parts source to keep your choice of saw going. Maybe i should have gone with a Homie xl12 boatload of parts out there.

My bad I didn't read the entire first post.
