It runs better than it looks!

For me, this is about perfect. And honestly, once you go heated, you won't go back.



I put the 238-242-246 family a close second. Lighter and more nimble than the 346, but can't pull 16" 3/8", which the 346 can pull and which is nice to be able to use for certain tasks.

That's a cherry lookin 238!

I love the way this saw looks ................. but I wonder how it would look with the 661r dogs instead

When you own a boatload of saws, it's always difficult to wrap your mind around any of these "just one saw" threads. But the original question for this one is framed different enough to make this interesting. What saw is best for what each of us actually need a saw to be. We obviously don't all have the same type of work that we use our saws for.

I'm normally a "372/2171 is the best saw ever" guy. But as good as it is, it's not the best "one saw" fit for my cutting needs. I get into some big stuff, but I also do a lot of tops and such, and I like something lighter for that stuff. So, a single saw that would cover the most ground for me is a good 60cc saw like the 2260, 562XP or 262XP. (notice how I cleverly avoided actually picking "just one saw" there? ) But my reasoning here is that a good 60cc saw can handle 75% of what either a 50cc or 70cc saw can do and therefore covers the bases better than a 50cc or 70cc alone can do.

In my tree service duties I use my Tree Monkey MS361 more than any other saw.

For my cutting needs - and - based on what I own it would be the MS362.

Overall, 262.
