Yeah, no thanks... I have one on my bench right now that I can't for the life of me figure out what ails it.....Not impressed....

550XP FTW.

Stock would be hands down the Jonny 2051 a close second would be the Partner 5000+. Muffler modded goes to the 026, and ported is of course the 346 IMHO. I've run them all with 18" bars and 325 chain.

I've heard of this stihl model called the 026/260. I think it's the best.

 

[farmer steve]

i'll have to agree with @drf255. i like my 026 that my brother found in a ditch and gave to me. a little TLC and muff mod and it's the go to saw most of the time. i think that's the saw in my avatar.

Tricky !! 50cc class has turned into what I think of as the 60cc class of saws to some degree . Take the 562 and the ms 361...there both under 60cc so you could include them i suppose.
I will discount the upper end and stick closer to 50cc.... 346 xp NE would be my choice for a simpler second hand saw or a 550 xp if you want brand new.

My tree monkey ported Jonsereds 52e will hold it's own in the 50cc class. Stock the 52e is a great saw as well. And yes, I've got modern 3 cube saws as well, they just bore the hell out of me.

If we're not going true 50cc then I elect my mmws357xp instead of the 2153.

I don't count a 562 as a 50cc class or any of the others that are 60cc class size weight and nearly 60cc those are 60cc class saws

For me it would be Dolly 5105. Smoothest saw
I have ran. Better than the Echo 530 I own. About the same power as the Efco 156 I have and I like the Efco really well maybe little more powerful but little bigger. Trying to finish up Husky 359 maybe will be my go to saw for a while. I pick saw to use by size of wood to cut. Will even go smaller when cutting little stuff.
But I just cut firewood for myself about 10 cords per year and have 10 saws all kinds. I hate CAD. Even starting to carry over to weed eaters. Picked one up over weekend just to see if I could fix it.

Got four 50cc saws. They sit. Gather dust. Keep thinking a Dolmar 5100 or 5105 may light me up. In the mean time. 3410,420,6100,262 or one of the beasts.

I like a 357xp ...never run a 2153, bit hard to get J reds now they dont have dealers in UK. Real shame !

Currently I'd have to say my 5100s ported by Poleman. Even stock it was a potent 50cc saw with excellent AV. When I eventually get my 026 Pro done, the 5100s might have some competition. I look forward to comparing them.

 

[RIDE-RED 350r]

I would agree that the 562, 357, ms361, 359, and others similar are not considered "50cc" saws. Displacement may be in the mid-upper 50cc range, but a 50cc they are not IMHO. My 357 handles and runs noticeably different than my NE346.

 

[rocco490]

^ exactly

 

[the BMOC]

A ms362 would be my choice.

 

[paragonbuilder]

A ms362 would be my choice.

Still think it's awesome huh? Plus it's a 60cc saw...
