Most Dependable Big Saw (90cc-94cc)?

[TreeLife]

I will try to get to that, but been busy. Generally, and empty 044/440 12 mm powerhead is 14 lbs, a 460 14.75. I'm sure the 460 P+C add a little, but very little, so I'm sure they are at least 1/2 lb lighter.

If that makes a difference to you will depend on you, and what you do with the saw. For example, I have to take down a good size Tulip, that has a slight lean, and is next to a broken down stone wall, and has some rot on the bottom (where it split from the other half). I will be happy to have a saw that is as light as possible and allows me to reach as high as I can and get the cut angles I want.

They can also be nice when working on a wood pile, light weight and the reach of the 28" bar is nice, but when cutting some I prefer the 20" bar to reduce collateral damage.

As a man who has spent his entire adult life working saws for a living, I understand the weight is a factor. However I dont consider a few ounces a massive difference in weight.

I came to the conclusion that a dependable reliable saw as long as it still runs well is more important to me than just having the very fastest or lightest thing available. Currently I am a huge fan and owner of the 395 huskies. I am really excited about the stihl 661 as well. I have one with mastermind to be ported and look forward to running it after he is done with it. I also have a 362 stihl and a dolmar/Makita 7910 and a husky 3120 with him now for porting too so my money is where my mouth is on this one I like all the saw brands and am a very proud owner of all of them

Never said it was a massive difference, but it is noticeable, and the older you get, the more you will notice it, especially at the end of a long day.

Makes you wonder who made all the parts though I bet some of the parts aren't made by stihl. Lol.

Not sure why my quote went on yours. Lol. Sorry about that.

 

[MG porting]

I paid "kit" price for it and the ugly fugger runs lol.

Lol

Life is perspective...not much else.

If I carried an 880 all day it would be 10x easier than some of the roofs I've done..that's why I dont care what a chainsaw weighs.

Not right or wrong..just my perspective.

Yes sir. [emoji106]

Use the tool for the job is what it comes down to imho. Roofing is NOT easy. Lol. I have respect for you guys.

None in the poll! I would say the 2095 jonnyred

I framed houses and did roofs for almost 15 years...some of the roofs we did were borderline inhumane..perspective.

Working for a tree service is no slouch job..but my hardest day I've had isnt anywhere near as hard as a good steep roof.

That's a cool saw too, ain't seen many of them.

 

[huskyboy]

From what I heard the old 2094 was a real strong saw. Parts availability is the killer for big old jonsereds unfortunately.

 

[Funky sawman]

This one i just reaquired after it spent 6 years as a sawmill, its still in perfect shape, 180 pounds of hardly able to pull over compression.

I'm in the process of putting a new roof my house, 10/12, you game?

If I’m not mistaken the displacement was the same on 2094/394. I believe that they even used the same piston... but different cylinders. I would certainly like to own a 2094/5 just for fun to see how it runs compared to a 394/5... someday.

Yes same piston, the 2094 was actually a stronger saw. The 2095 has more midrange torque but less on the top end. 2094 is alot like running a 394 but smoother and better balance with long bars. The 395 is good allaround power. And the 2095 has a powerband unlike any of them. It wont hold top rpm very well but once it hits the sweet spot it then feels like an old 2100xp husqvarna for torque

Sounds like I need me a 2094/5 to try
