Whats your idea of the ultimate saw

[ErrolC]

Just got off Manges site..and a posting their brought up the thought...whats the ultimate saw.

1: titanium Twin..smooth and sounds great, rotory would be better, smoother and even more of a growl..and they flip over easy
2: 200cc or more..for the torque..need a backpac fuel tank though
3: variable gearing..dialup for torque or rpm setting
4: remote electric start..like the aero modellers use with a motorcycle battery
5: rear ducted hot air..for outdoors heating and warm hands
6: power assited forearms & shoulders,
7: on demand...Masseuse for the aches and pains this beast is going to inflict

"automatic chain sharpening" would be my ultimate option to have on my saw

An MS260 that has twin cylinders and 250CC displacment would be AWESOME.

An updated MS260 from Stihl.......

.....with a better antivibe, same weight or less, a bigger airbox with a real air filter and...... the option of purchasing a $100 bolt on performance kit which would give it 5-10 % more power than the MS361.

 

[Lawn Masters]

How about an MS260 case that you can bolt a 460 jug onto? THAT would be AWESOME!

I think a twin cylinder 066 mag with a super charger run the belt off the clutch. I think that would be awesome maybe with a 10 in bar to cut some cookies.

You're thinking WICKED hardware. how about a 15LB 090 with twin 137CC cylinders and a turbo? that would be WICKED .

Don't forget the NOS...too

Don't forget the NOS...too

Indeed, but the saw has to somehow pull the NOS out of the air so it doesn't need to have a bottle on it.

/Now we're dreaming

 

[z4lunch]

If memory serves me...The little NOS bottle was called Sneaky Pete... maybe and inch is in diameter and 6 or 7 inches long... I could be wrong, that goes back twenty years or more

Internal combustion?
7hp
7lbs
auto-start
proximity sensors in the operator's PPE tell saw when to instant stop for safety


Alternative technology?
Laser cutting beam (or another energy emission, non-traditional cutting technology)
Beam length/density easily adjustable from 12" to 36" cut
9lbs

BTW, I don't know anything about this stuff....would such energy emissive cutting just set the wood on fire?

Take a 500cc Husqvarna motorcycle engine and build it into a saw .........hold up that has already been done

8: imbedded lights to work in dark hours
9: signal lights for safety when doing roadside work
10: top seat for a short brake so a hot butt is for sure in winter
11: folding blade for easy storage
12: special shaped/guided exhaust gas stream so sawchips are blown much further away in the right way so no clogging up the clutchcap.
13: in-blade hydrolic jack so no wedges are needed
14: when top seat becomes available also some wheels, drive and steer to ride to the tree
15: towhook to get the other gear in
16: easy wrench free clip on system for all kinda stuff to power
17: timer to shut automatically at lunch time or signal after siesta to awake.
18: build in water heater for some coffee or tea on the spot
19: baking plate bigger as that exhaust for some eggs and pancakes
20: fingerprint safety so only me can use my beloved MS200T

any more?

 

[Sylvatica]

fingerprint safety so only me can use my beloved MS200T

Good one! I like that idea.

 

[Lawn Masters]

How about an alcohol tester to prevent intoxicated persons from running the saw.

KX500 does a better job..tried starting one them..can kickback something terrible..water cooled connected to a cooling hose..bit like an electric car extention lead..mmm...radiator on the back - theres your heating for the cold weather.

The laser (light saber) idea has merrit..look out Luke..zzZZzzzZZz..doesn't stir my blood though.

Sachs rotory saw was sooo smooth and sounds like a bear humming..soul stirring..60cc KMS output in 78 was on parr with a 70cc now

 

[TimberMcPherson]

An 020 with the power of a 346xp with a handle that can be put in tophandle or backhandle position. Oh and a bar that extends between 12 and 20 inch.
