I did some searching, but I guess I'm bad at it, so I am asking here. I am looking to add a big saw to my current fire wood cutting program. I have a newer 201-t (stock), and a 12 yr old ms 290 (muffler opened up). The 290 is a good running saw, and I keep very sharp chains. I have used it to handle some big wood, but want to get something that will pull a 36" bar. It will most likely be the least used saw in the stable, 'cause I generally use the lightest saw I can for the job,( note the 201 in a homeowner's firewood cutting arsenal). I am not stuck on stihl, although I am real happy with the ones I have, and because of the light usage, am looking for the saw that will make the occasional big tree easier for me, not the saw that is the best saw to run a big bar. For what it's worth, there is a tree that has prompted this search, a dead elm that needs to come down, with a 58ish dbh. From what I read, elm isn't great firewood, but it's my dad's tree, and he needs me to get rid of it. So, what say the chainsaw guru's?
