Will Any Of The New Saws Ever Gain Legendary Status???

[Bowtie]

I will wait to hopefully own a 461, and the possibility of running a 661 before I comment, except to say the 026/036 saws deserve kudos. Wish i could have owned a 044/440, or at least tried one out.

346xp, 372xp, 395xp, 7900, 5100, MS 361, and the MS660.

All those models are pretty much gone now

But they perhaps were more relevant and current when the post was made- way back in 2007?

I wish it was 2007 again lol. I was in good health, single, and saws were very simple!

I stihl have a few of them .

I would like to see Lamborghini or Ferrari or Bentley come out with a line of saws.

Castor, Bender? I have one

How time flies!!

Don't look at my signature, but I still have four of the saws that Andyshine 77 listed. My Husky 353 is very close to the 346XP, and the Stihl 361 and 660 are indeed classics. My Makita 6401 is almost a dead ringer for the Dolmar 7900. I got them all between 2007 and 2012, and they all still run well.

Don't bring your signature to the fore!!!!
You will be getting a PM from the SS now.

Ya. Ich spreche Deutch, Bob. SS = Secret Service im English. Nicht wahr? Verstehen Sie?

Seems to be the trend that any Husky that ends in 55, 72, or 92 gets this. It’s like a sports team retiring an epic jersey number and reissuing for a particularly promising rookie.

More like a Special Squirrel around here.

No speak a da German? Help?

Husqvarna models are changing and upgrading so quickly how can one grow roots long enough to become a legend? In the past we had the 162 followed by the 266/268, 272 Xp followed by 285 Xp and 2100 pro saws. Your common average homeowner isn’t going to drop big $$$ on a pro saw. I did when my sears saws died. I ordered a new 2100/240sg.
Do we rate a saw by sale numbers and popularity?

Lamborghini
Were famous for tractors before super cars. That's close enough to being a chainsaw to meet the minimums.

 

[hwrdpromac7900]

I believe Senix already is.

 

[SawTrash]

For price, build quality and reliability I suggest current MS 170.

No flippy cap crap, has proper 2 nut bar clamping and traditional chain tensioning mechanism.

 

[SawTrash]

Sorry, double post - slow internet out here in the bush.

Dolmar 6400. Very easy to increase displacement on a saw that is fine as is but just keeps getting better and better with the increase in CCs without an increase in weight.

I still have a 353, 346, OE372, and 7900, all bought between 04 and 06. Sold off the 660 and 361 not long after I bought them.

Doubt it



Maybe an AS favorite but most legendary saws sell big with logger types,have wide distribution, and heavy saw users don't complain about cheesy air filter housing plastic mounted carb bolts.
As a direct comparison 056/super/magII considered logging workhorse,wide distribution, bullet proof in its day and a logger on the Olympic penn or Cascades would have been embarrassed to not have one.
Dolmar know one guy that has 7900 likes its power and feel but really slams it on quality.
But hey it will be an AS legend. There is a chainsaw world outside of the Internet.
