Sort of a compliment to "Wish List", Your Favorite saw to run is?

[jeepyfz450]

Your question about the "go to saw" kinda had me stumped. I use all of my saws for different things BUT....... its gotta be the 046. I love my 660 and love my 440 but when i am dropping 16-30'' hardwoods i absolutely love the 046 with a 24'' bar.

For the wow factor I like the 660 8 pin with a 20''er but i would probably never use it like that for real work.

Weim where in NY are you we should all get together someday this summer for a central NY GTG.

I prefer the Husky 365, mine now has the HD filter setup. Dont really notice much if any difference between it and the stock low top. Just feels right in my hands.

so far this year my go to saw has been my Mac 10-10 but all I have used it for is cleaning up the yard and keeping the power co. off my back.

later on it will be my 441, 032, and 066 pulling firewood duty there the go to saw will be the 441.

for fun cutting cookies the homie 770D gets the call, way too much fun.

For me It would have to be my 066 with a 32" bar and full wrap, thats the saw that I grab for eveything. It's got power to spare, the weight isnt to bad for the amount of power and the bar length lets me reach stuff down low wih out having to bend over to far. By far my favorite saw

When I want a real work out (or for the rare real big tree) I break out my baby... MS880 with what ever bar suits the needs at the moment. I've got bars ranging from 30-47" the 30" and an 8 pin rim makes for a real good time for a couple tanks. Slap the 41 or 47" bar on and then it gets a little nose heavy but still fun when those are burried in oak. It's the only saw I've ever bought new, to heavy to be my go to saw, but there isnt a day that I regret buying it either. On the plus side in 20 years it may just be one of the close to mint saws every one likes to drool over :msp_tongue:

I love my 036 pro with the 20" bar. Its nice and light and runs great

The go to saw Stihl 026

 

[Nardoo]

Great thread.
It all comes out strange for me. My 026's are being ignored for the Partner 500/5000's.
All my middle level Stihls don't get past a 365 when medium size wood is on offer and when the chips are down I reach for the 395.
When I have to cut big stuff it is still the old 090 that gets the nod.

Funny though, the last two loads of firewood I cut were with an old Poulan Pro 375. It just makes me smile.

Hard to beat playing with the 880 36'' bar and a 8 pin.

 

[AUSSIE1]

The ported 371XP BB hands down for the power to weight ratio, handling and agility, smoothness etc.

Personally I can't beat this saw!
