What size saws do you use the most

[sunfish]

346xp 98% of the time. Cut firewood 2-3 days a week lately.

 

[hamish]

50cc saw for near all my firewood needs a 2152 16", and always have a 372 with 24" near-by and used as needed.

 

[Kenskip1]

For the most of firewood cutting it is the 028 and smaller the 445 or 51 gets the job done.Most of my saws have a 16 BC on them.I generally do not cut anything larger that I may have to split.Occasionally my 041 get some exercise or I get it, Ken

 

[Fifelaker]

I only cut firewood I always grab my MS440 cause it's my only lonly saw:msp_angry: I am on the lookout for a 50cc huskystihlmar. My back is getting older not me just the back..I have been cutting a lot of smaller stuff so smaller saw?

 

[pro94lt]

1-346
2-026
3-372
4-mac 1010
5-141

Their is nothing worse than having to small of a saw, I'd rather lug around a 70cc saw when i might only need it 30% of the time than strain around on big logs with the 346 or 026, their great but by no means are they meant for 20-30 inch oak... I do use the 346 alot more than any other though.

When cutting tops the MS261's are getting the most use, it used to be the 361, but above 18-20" the 460 and 044 run the most. I've really seen the saw use change over the last year. Since I have added more 70cc saws and the 261's the 60cc sets more and more. The ported 460 hardly ever gets set down, one of the guys is always running it. It's hard to beat a good 70cc saw irregardless of brand. I usually have to run whatever is left on the truck, since I'm almost always the last one to the worksite.lol

 

[madhatte]

70cc gets used the most by far. At work or at home, that's the size that cuts the wood I need to cut. Plus, I can hang a 32" off any of my 70cc saws so I don't have to bend over for small stuff.

 

[chopperfreak2k1]

for me it used to be i'd run my 026 90% of the time with the 044 getting the other 10%. lately it seems about 50/50 split in running time

 

[howellhandmade]

Firewood, 60cc. I run the snot out of a 6400 kind of hoping to put enough hours on it to justify a 7900 p/c, but before that it was mostly my MS361.

 

[David (saltas)]

30cc most of the time
50cc some of the time

 

[BloodOnTheIce]

I'm just a firewood cutter so I don't like to get rounds any heavier than I want to lift into my truck.
90% of the time I'll grab the 5100s (50cc). The 024 Super (46cc?) is really nice too, because it seems lighter, but it's not quite as fast.
I love running all my other saws but the 2 above get my work done with the least effort.

Yeah some guys get a hard on over huge firewood logs, but give me nice 12" diameter logs
that I can split into quarters and grab the next piece. I don't have a loader, skidder, utility tractor, or dozer
so my firewood is limited to what I can lift or roll.

 

[bcorradi]

I have saws from 40cc-90cc's, but tend to use the 70cc 044 about 90% of the time.

 

[Slamm]

For logging, I'd say its:

80% - 70cc (441 Modded)
10% - 90cc (660 Modded)
10% - 50cc (260 Modded)

For at home or landowner stuff mostly 260 Modded and then a complete mix of things after that just to get them running, like the 084, just run it in some firewood, for the kicks of it, not the necessity.

[Anthony_Va.]

The 372xpw is my go-to saw. I use it for pretty much all the cutting or logging I do.

 

[cpr]

This is the wrong place to ask...

90% of the time, I need a 50cc saw.
90% of the time, I run a 70cc+ saw...

Because I can and no one's here to judge me!

 

[homelitejim]

anything 50cc and above.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

For me four, not two. 372-044 660-2101

 

[sawnami]

Used to use my Jonsered 2071 with 24" bar for everything. I've found that my knuckles don't drag the ground as quickly during a long day of cutting when I use the Olympyk 962. If my lack of endurance keeps progressing, I may end up with the Homie XL as my main saw.:hmm3grin2orange:

 

[1savagehunter]

For work
Stihl 460TW - 50% (just because I can)
Husky 262 - 50%

For play
Husky 365 - 10% (nice saw - bought it used so don't trust it yet for work)

 

[CTYank]

Firewood cutting, max diam 20".

35 cc wherever it works- low fatigue-factor, noise, vibes.
56 cc where there's real work for it- justifying getting it up to temp. Lots noisier.
