Which is your favorite saw for around the house?

[Stihltp]

I live in the great Toronto area so the lot's are not very big here and I don't depend on fire wood for heating. I find that my MS200 rear handle is the saw that gets the most action. It is not as powerful as my MS260 but still does the job with less fatigue. I bought it this past winter from a fellow just east of me and he had never used it. It definitely got into some wood this spring with all the clean ups at home and at my rental homes. For those that have one I am sure you will agree and for those that are thinking about getting a good proffessional saw with ease of use and great performance this is the saw for you. Cheers :msp_smile:

lets here about your favorites

200t

 

[lly_duramax]

346xp for sure

200t

+1. Around the house it is limbs. I can get up in the tree and drop the crossovers etc. All I really need to do at the house. Next door neighbor would like the black walnut gone but hell no. I like the thing.

 

[fearofpavement]

Stihl 009L or Stihl 018C. Depends what I'm cutting.

 

[blsnelling]

The 346 is most always my go to saw.

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

My go to saw at the house is a Partner P100.:msp_scared::msp_scared: Really it is what ever size I feel is right for whats at hand. Yard work would be any one of my 50 cc+/- a few cc.

 

[Somesawguy]

I find my 024 pretty handy, but it's getting an overhaul at the moment.

 

[StihlyinEly]

The 026 gets the nod around the yard about as much as my little Tanaka top handle. 50-50 type deal.

 

[missouriboy]

My 455 rancher nothing for home use that it cant handle.

 

[Officer's Match]

MS441R M-Tronic.

 

[zogger]

Grab and cut?

Fastest to get to to go cut an errant downed limb, etc..my Oregon Powernow battery saw. I don't like leaving mix in saws and using any small gasser requires going to the fuel can, dumping some in, getting it started, let it warm up, cutting, and then draining out the remainder and then restarting and letting it idle dry. The battery saw, none of that stuff, grab, cut, put it away. Instant on/off with the throttle trigger.

If all I needed or wanted was a light duty small home owner type saw, something reliable, dependable to start, to do some light cutting, even after sitting months, etc, that would be it. No mix to go bad, no yank starting, even has a good quality built in chain sharpener (second generation powersharp).

346xp...it just seems to jump into my hand

 

[Cliffhanger]

346xp

Thanks to this fine forum and the knowledge I gained from joining, my goto saw is the venerable 346XP, brand spanking new 2012 version.

Damn, you guys are good. :msp_thumbup:

I gotta go with the 200T i don't cut much on the ground and if i'm on the ground i usually have a 372xpw. Then again i don't cut much at home.

 

[eiklj]

Stihl 011AV with 16" bar and Picco chain.

Another GTA boy! Good to see there is some more of us around. Right now around the home its a toss up between my MS200 and PS-3410TH. The Stihl is definitely the zippier of the two but the little Dolly is really handy getting in and around limbs.

BTW, do you have both the 200 and the 200T or is that just a typo in your sig? Cheers!

Actually ran my little Dolly today. Not a bad little saw at all.

It looks like orange and white gets a lot of use but a Poulan green S25CVA gets the most use for small stuff around my yard.
