if you could only have one saw

[ropensaddle]

Ropensaddle, you have to come up with a picture of that Cat saw attachment. I looked to no avail.

If I remember to take my cam I will stop in at my old job and snap a pic of it.

That would be rad. Yes I did just say rad...hope it's still at your ol' job.

I just got my MS 260 today and I have to say if only one saw, this would do it for me. I don't have to cut anything too big (if I don't want to) and this saw with its 20" bar will drop, limb, and chunk everything without wearing me out.

I like big saws, just not for limbing!

 

[Adirondack]

I am no expert but a Dolmar 7900.

If i had to have just one, Which would be really hard it would be my 036 with a 20 inch bar. Light enough to limb with and strong enough to buck up decent size trunks.

361 is the best 1 saw

If you could only have one saw to heat your home, what would it be???

If I've got to use it for heat, I'll pick something old with about 30lb of magnesium in it. It'll be hard to get lit, but once it's going, it'll really throw off some BTUs!

Hehehehehehe
As a tool I would pic the 7900 or 681. Both a little on the heavy side for most stuff but would tackle everything with ease.

...me it would be a 372XP..

:agree2:

 

[Boogieman142]

Mine I'd have to say a 660 as thats the only saw i did have until i found this site.

 

[thejdman04]

I wouldnt be heating my home if I could only have one saw. Seems my saws are always breaking down. If I had to chose, a 372 or 575 would be my choice.

395 XP THAT'S A NO BRAINIER. :chainsawguy:

395 XP THAT'S A NO BRAINIER

You are a minority there with the 395. I've got one and its a decent saw but not a vote for the one and only. Real heavy and not enough power for its weight. Unless I've got a 36" bar on it my Solo will cut right with it at quite a weight savings.

If I had to only have one, it would be a 460 Stihl.

 

[saxman]

361

 

[Elim]

We frequently get snow/ice, or high winds around here that take down trees blocking the roads. When I have to throw a saw in the truck to make sure I can get home after work the 440 is the saw that rides with me. I guess that would make it my one saw.

Stihl MS440

 

[bighardwood]

Yep that's what's on it 36" bar with a skip chain eats thought hard wood like butter you must have a bad saw. my has plenty of power and plenty to spare. This saw is not heavy twenty years a go I used big saws that where heavy.

 

[olyman]

970 olympyk with a 24 and 36 inch bar, and yes--it will pull the 36!!

 

[Chaz1]

372XP/ 24" bar, hands down!!!

 

[mowoodchopper]

I would choose a hacksaw with a fine metal blade for the small stuff and a aggressive wood blade for the bigger stuff. Simple and economical yet reliable!
