What saws do my fellow wood cutters have??

[User Name Here]

I heat with wood and burn around 5-6 cords a year. I have a dolmar ps 421, stihl 440 magnum, and a mmws stihl 461. I love all of them but I'm starting to think I want a small top handle saw. Not really sure why. But that's never stopped me yet.

I had one small tree to trim for my girlfriend's brother. That's all I needed to justify a new top handle. About an hour of work.

I have a 850 pro Mac that my pap made his livening with, I would like to someday restore it.

That would be a nice saw to restore they are strong 82cc machines. I been hunting for a decent one but so far havent got my hands on one yet.

Any ideal where I can get cosmetic parts? It did run but I retired it a few years ago, was thinking about just doing a cosmetic restoration to remember my pap.

Do some digging in these forums. Plenty of Mac fanatics and lots of info. Could even start a thread and tell them what you're looking for. The people here are very helpful.

Cutting firewood I like my Stihl 026 pro with a 3/8 lp 16" bar and chain. It is lite, easy to start, plenty of power and dependable. I have a MS440 and MS660, but cutting firewood they are over kill.

I cut maybe 6-10 trees a year between firewood, cleaning, storm damage, etc..
I just like to have options when I go cut something....

Some of you guys have crazy amounts of saws.

We are the small scale collectors. I know guys that have 100+ saws in their collections.

Serious CAD doesn’t start until you start sorting /storing them in piles....

Me and a couple friends bucked about 9 or 10 cords of oak this week for another friend of mine. The majority of it was cut with a Tree-Money 261 version 2 (with heated handles ), a ported 350/346, and a MOFO 036. Even though they're on the small end of the displacement range, they RIPPED. The Stihls both had 16" bars (.325 on the 261) and I had an 18" on the husky. They all had nice lean-on torque with the bars buried, and the light weight and short bars are nice for having in your hands all day.
