Homeowner 2 Saw Solutions - Opinions on Sizing

I went the 50 and 70 route. Now after getting into even bigger trees I may have to nut up and get a bigger saw yet. Or get the 576 ported, and see how that goes. Decisions, decisions and so many options.

There's a ported Echo 490 in the Trading Post right now, but the guy's a hack.

How big is "bigger"? This will determine if you port or go up to a 90 Plus class.

A 30cc top handle and well ported 60cc saw would also serve you quite well.

Nothing the 576 can't handle with a 28 " b&c, but I'm not sure it'll oil it. It doesn't like to pull the 28 as is though.

Along with my 50/70 combo, I figured it would be good to add a 90cc.

I think Jon has the right idea. A saw every 10cc apart, or maybe my math is a little off

LOL!

A big saw is nice to have my 056 super does not see a lot of use but when it does the job is big enough that the big ol' saw quickly gets it down to size. It also makes that 60cc saw feel like a light Saber

LOL I am not reading your mind just posting mine. You know you have a 421, I have the 6100, if we join forces we could TAKE OVER THE WORLD world world!
OK maybe not but hey we could get a lot of trees cut down and bucked up.

I sure have a lot of work to do still in my little five acre yard

Must take a lot of determination and tolerance to pain to have a wood stove down there!
