090 would be miserable to fall and buck 1 huge tree

The newer AV 090 ain't terrible....ok yes it sucks.

Still weighs 40 lbs with a bar. I guess if I needed to use that 84" you got to buck a 10' redwood I'd use it

I look at fuel economy and bar size when I cut. The MOFO 026 is super good on fuel usage. [emoji106]
Bigger saws guzzle fuel. But I still like them. [emoji6]
I like to use any Stihl saws that I bring. [emoji106]

I don't give a rats ass about fuel

only time I cared was when I run out milling. Never thought I needed a gallon to make 3 cuts

When you use canned fuel you do.

I've been using canned fuel, it just comes out of a really big can.

35 gallon can

If that's my only choice for good fuel it's the price of admission. Fuel is a small expense in the big picture of firewood, milling, or saw racing.

084 is the only saw that I immediately think about it weight when I pick it up.

Like Ryan said above, I have no use for a 70cc saw, there to close in weight to a 90cc and has much less powerful.

I'm either going to run a small saw or a big one.
Take off on foot packing your saw and gas and oil and cut and top as many as you can in a days time and I guarantee you will be shot but it's not from the saw being heavy. I said the other day if your saw is to heavy you won't last till lunch anyway.

Dead serious here...

If i told some of the guys ive worked with over the years that a tool i was using was too heavy and asked for a lighter one they probably would have made me wear a skirt and punched me in the nose.

My dad would be embarrassed.

Were talkin about 12-17 lb saws here lol.

Workin with a chainsaw is the easiest job ive ever had.

My dad is 68 and he's used a 372 or 562 for a whole tank of cutting just weeks ago. He won't use a 120cc though. He has used the 90cc some but he does say they're a little heavy.

I get more annoyed when a saw has a small gas tank than how much gas it uses

Fuel usage should really only be an issue for the guys that gotta blow the tooter to send some fuel down a mountain..gettin 7 more cuts out of a tank probably doesnt affect you much.

 

[RI Chevy]

I can cut much more wood with 2 tanks of fuel using 026 than I can with a 440 or 460. Guaranteed!

 

[huskyboy]

my ported 394 goes longer on a tank than my Stihl 024 super. Way bigger gas tank. My ported 385 goes longest, huge gas and oil tank. Goes to say I can go longer on a tank of gas with bigger saws cut trees faster why use a smaller saw? lol
