Firewood saw

What is your pick for the wood you cut ?

Stihl 440 gets my chores done .

 

[jacktheripper]

They all get used!

 

[Wilhelm]

All the way from battery powered up to 90cc, depending on what needs to be cut into firewood.

My favorite ones are my freak PS-460, my PS-550 & my PS-7310.

 

[Duane(Pa)]

I have a slight problem.

I have a slight problem.

Gas stations & supermarkets have some little black pills for that!

Just saying.

Ported 400c gets it done. Crazy good power to weight. Kinda the perfect saw for firewood up to 2' dia.
But a well ported 562xp is right there with it!

50-60cc seems like the sweet spot. I like my 261s but the 2065 takes a beating an asks for more.

I usually end up taking 3-4 out for any given cutting occasion. I'm partial to the ported 50cc saws primarily of the 346xp variant. If the wood gets too big for that, then I pull out one of my ported 70cc saws. If I'm going somewhere with just one saw, I grab my 034 that was rebuilt with an 036 top end and ported by Doc. It is small enough for cutting smaller wood, and with a 25" light bar, I can easily cut the bigger stuff too.

My go to is a modded but not ported ms362, if wood gets too big for that I get the mmws462.

Seems we have had some shady individuals join lately as I seen another new member got the boot.

I try to use them all depending on the tree/wood. A good 50/70 combo is nice…

I think Randy had a list of the idiots like Fabz that tried to get back on this site. It will probably take the mods some time to develop a list

I've been grabbing my 2065 for firewood more and more. It doesn't feel as bulky as my 044, and smooth enough that it's not too exhausting to use where I'd usually want a 50cc

 

[RCBS]

Depends on specific target. 50cc for limbing/branch wood bucking & trail maintenance. 60 or 70 for log bucking or noodling. 80 for big wood. I'm in the woods farting around with something every weekend that weather allows. The 50cc goes with me more often than the others.

Why?

 

[Mad Professor]

036 is the most used. Small stuff a 028S or 026. Bigger wood 038M.

Don't cut much huge stuff but have 056M and 066 for that.

 

[singinwoodwackr]

Main saws at present: MMwS 500i, Stumpshot 372xp, Dozer Dan 346 (45cc).
I cycle through some of the others every now and then.

 

[jacktheripper]

As for size and type, I tend to run 67-76cc saws with 24” bars and full wraps as a standard for firewood. Most of my firewooding involves felling, limbing and bucking dead pine in the mountains. Full wrap allows me to stand on the best side of the tree, and 24” is easy on the back when limbing. If I’m not running a 24”, then it’s probably a 40-50cc half wrap saw running a 16” bar. I love running lightweight saws with shorter bars in woodpiles. If I have to scramble around piled up logs and cut them to length, I’d rather do it with a light saw. The short bar is nice because it allows me to buck individual rounds while dogged in without going too deep and hitting the logs behind them.
