Which saws would you want?

[alderman]

I'm not in the market so this is just asked out of curiosity.
New or old models okay.

What saws would you want to use with a 20" bar? 24" bar? Or longer bar?

My Shindaiwa line up would be.
20"--575
24"--695
Longer--757

Stihl MS461 running a 24" bar. I've been thinking about it for a while but never cut big enough logs to warrant the purchase.
Echo CS620 running a 20" bar. I've thought about it a lot to replace my good old MS290 but in the end I am too cheap for it.
There shouldn't be anything around here needing a longer bar so I've never given thought about running anything longer than a 24", and even that is probably overkill.

Dolmar 7900 rocks with a 24" bar and slick filed chain.

I have a 20" on my MS361 and I think that is about right.
I'm going to get a 25" for the 460 that is on its way to me.
When I get my milling operation dialed in I'll have a 660/066 or 880/088 with a 36"

372XP for me, up to a 28" bar.

Fantasy saws with big wood? I'd like to have a 372 with 20". A 7900 or 064 with 24". Bigger bars and saws is hard. I love my Homelite 750 with a 28". I wish I had more than 20" bars to try on my jonsereds 910e and 820. Any bar over 30" I'd like to try a 395 or 660.

I really like the Dolmar 6100 with a 20" it pulls a 24" just fine . No need for a bigger saw but need has nothing to do with want. Lol

 

[computeruser]

20" - 044 10mm.

20-24-28" - 7900

>28" - 066, 394/5

Have a 20" on my Stihl 036 Pro and happy.... but my Jred 2171 with a 24" is my go to saw all day every day

A 60cc saw will pull a 20" bar fine but a 70 cc class saw will do it better.

461 or 7900 would be my choice unless you are getting into much bigger stuff then 395. Nothing wrong with a 372 or 044 either.

562XP for booth, just get it ported and you have plenty of saw and less weight. That's my plan, I have ran 1/2 tank thru mine so far so couple of more tanks first.

 

[cgraham1]

This. With a 24-32" bar, depending on what I need to cut that day.

 

[astnmacgto]

Nobody is going old school? Alright fine I will.
16" to 20"- McCulloch 7-10a
20" to 24"- Mcculloch pro mac 850
24" and up- Mcculloch super pro 125
I'm still waiting to find the last one.

2253/16. 2260/20. 2172/24. 2188/28

 

[grizz55chev]

Plitz Wildthing with a 20 inch bar.

 

[rd35]

036 pro - 20" .325 .063
066 mag - 28" .375 .063
Piltz MS180C - 42" .404 .080 (okay just kidding)

My go to is the 372XP. If I need to cut anything bigger than 28" I will use my old McCulloch 250 with the 39" bar. Which reminds me, I should get it (250) out and see if it runs... been a while.

Pics at least. Video if possible. If your profile pic is your old lady let her hold the 250.

 

[Ryan'smilling]

My current picks would be my ms460 for the 20" and my new MMWS 660 for the 24"+

If I had to walk very far, though, I'd probably revise my choices...
