What older saw do you like to use?

[buzz sawyer]

I use my SP125C every chance I get on big wood. This is a 24" Chinese Chestnut that went down. I did a bore, then cut to the bottom, then cut the top at as slight angle towards the stump so the butt log would fall away and not pinch the bar. (the second cut isn't in the video.)

My 041AV is fun, as is the Super XL 925.

I like running the old Shindaiwa 500‘s. Enough saw for most of my wood cutting needs.

I stihl like running the torquey old 045 & 056 series for felling & bucking big wood.

Like a 20# sledge hammer, you can't wear them out.

Nice saw! I've never run an 045 or an 056 but would love to.

Poulan 5200!

1974 XL just like this.....except it's beat up and the trigger handle is corroded from years of sweaty hands. My neighbors hate it, for miles around !

I know they aren't that old, but I like any 2-series Husky. 262xp is my favorite.

Is the "silencer" on your XL-12 built like this? Hurts your ears just looking at it, but no back pressure here.

David Bradley gear drive.
Just so I appreciate using my 20 yr old stuff so much then in comparison.

I love running my husqvarna 2101 and 2100. They've both got nice growls to them

Jonsered 455.
It's like a good dog, it just wants to do what I tell it.

A JonseredS 621 a friend built for me,111S, and an 026 a friend ported for me.
All make me smile.

Poulan 3700. A bit heavy, but it really has torque. 20 inch bar is almost perfect.

 

[Little Al]

Alpina Prof 55, well designed, & put together,good "grunt" for size, although not a " screamer"it takes a lot of loading to take the revs down, only oils when the chain turns, so no excess "goo" about + the exhaust note sounds like an Italian sports car.

I have a little Husky 35 that gets used all the time for little jobs.. cackles loudly, and runs great.. Leaks bar oil from somewhere so I gotta top it up before I go to work.. It was cheap and good
I like the L65's as well, nice low tone to them and they really wake up with a little port work.. they are pretty slow in stock form
Haven't finished building the 2100's I have, I do love the sound of them as well
My go-to saw now for anything bigger is my 394.. Noodles a big chunk of wood in half faster than you can put it on a splitter
I would like to get a 288 and a 272 to round out my 10 saw plan
