60cc saw opinions

[exSW]

For many years I only had a 660 and used it for everything,obviously you don't need a saw that big but I'd way rather have more saw than not enough.

Lots of 60cc saws will handle a 24+ but a bigger saw will make it more enjoyable for you and the saw,especially falling you want more saw than less.

I've said it before that any professional faller regardless of tree size will be running the biggest saw he can get for a reason.

I keep several 80 plus cc saws around for a reason and have for 35 years.

The point is it wasn't a chore. Four cuts on the notch ,GOL plunge from both side(btw I no longer use the gol plunge) and blow it out the back. My stock 262's give up once you bury the tip,I'd have been whittling at that thing all day. Not good.

I wasn't knocking you, just expressing how I understand using what you have. That was all I had at the time. Most of my cutting happens within 50' of my garage now, so it's easy to grab a bigger saw.

I need to run one of these 6100's, everyone seems impressed with them!

If your saws are making dust, you need to sharpen your chain. I have got to try one of those 6100!

I'd really like to try a 6100 as well

Sondre will have the one Jason is running in that video shortly

The 6100 will be at the CT GTG this spring, along with a few other good running Dolmar/Makita saws. Whoever wants to run whatever I bring is more than welcome.

Does it matter?

Does it matter?

If you don't know it's happening how could it matter. Lol

I think I would be runnin a 70cc saw if that is the size wood you deal with everyday.

I can see why the 036 needs..... more

Same Here.


OP,
Send that 360 to get fixed & ported: keep the 036 as a backup, as everything interchanges.

 

[hseII]

Whatever you've got

Al,

Will there be a MOFO361 at the Greenwich GTG?

 

[TreeLife]

Yes, who is this troll?

 

[CoreyB]

Yes, who is this troll?

I am short, hairy, and probably smell bad at times and look like I live under a bridge. OH NOON! I MAY BE THE TROLL! Well that stinks almost as bad as I do. Oh well. So about the perfect 60cc saw.

 

[TreeLife]

Haha the plan is to send the 036 out, the 360 pro is in poor shape

 

[huskyboy]

What happen to the 360

 

[Stihlsmoking]

Haha the plan is to send the 036 out, the 360 pro is in poor shape

I'll take it if cheap enough??

 

[TreeLife]

I have to get it in my own hands first to look it over to see if it's worth it to fix, my father told me it won't pull over.

 

[Stump Shot]

I would add to the list the Husqvarna 61 and 266, still very capable saws and fun to mess with. The 365 Special is another one ya just can't help but like. 361 Stihl's really cook along pretty good without doing much to them, the 036 is America's firewood saw and we'll have to see if it ever gets replaced by a modern one or not.

 

[jmssaws]

I don't know if there will ever be a better saw than a 034/036.

 

[Locust Cutter]

The 036 is arguably better in all ways (but price) but I'd argue that the 029-039 (Dad bought a new 039 when I was around 12) have put a lot more firewood on the rack for a lot of people than the 036. Likewise the 55 Husky I bought circa 2000 killed a lot of Hedge and other trees before it met an untimely demise. Now, there's a reason why many of us (DAD and I included) now have Pro saws across the board, but the underloved mid-class saws are probably bought 2-1 or better over the high end models.
