If You Could Only Have One Chainsaw Forever...

[HansFranz]

Thanks, Snobdds. Yeah, my 361 has the Lakeside muffler mod and it's got a lot of grunt for 60cc, it seems to me...

If you were only able to have ONE chainsaw forever, which would it be?

For now, I would say an 011 or my MS 261 C-M.

What about you?

For me it's the 026 Pro with a 18" bar!

Your question is not a hard one for me.

Already been there, done that.

I've got a Homelite EZ with a 16 inch bar that I bought way back when to use as a all around jeep and firewood saw. I have the OEM owners manual and receipt. It's pushing 50 years old and only one carb kit and several new chains, never loaned out, I'm the only one that has even touched it, has been well cared for and is in it's own homemade wooden case with extra chains and tools.
I have other EZ's, Stihls, Poulans when Poulans were good saws, Mac's plus others as a hobby but I can ALWAYS reach for the old reliable EZ and get er dun.

I have a old Stihl 028 that is good and reliable. It's about the same age that I bought used as non-running way back when..

For me that would be a 60cc saw because it's big enough for most wood and yet light enough to run all day, so my 562XP would be is. But the most favorite saw I have to run is my Echo 2511T. It's my favorite saw of them all.

I would say a sharp saw.

I would say a sharp saw.

What is a sharp saw? Any saw can have a sharp chain.

Nothing mechanical last forever.

True. But it might outlast me.

difficult question. All my saws have a different purpose. I like my echo 2511t for its light weight. Not sure if I want to keep the Eagan pipe though? It’s loud.
