Top Five Saws. The FIRST Selected

[afleetcommand]

When putting the "work truck" back together after a tough spell. Had to re--purpose the truck for other issues and life took the woods out of the picture for almost a full month. SO when restarting and planning the next "phase" of wood operations what were the first five the came to mind and landed back in the "work" truck , the base of operations?

I have Stihl days 462 & 500i.
Then Jonsered days 2152, 2159, 2165 & 2171 all ported.

In order...

1. 50cc. For me that's an 026 Pro that I've worked over a bit.
2. 70cc. 044 that's mostly stock.
3. Top handle if needed. I use an older 020 AV Super.
4. 90cc. That's an 064 for me (yes, only 85cc).
5. 60cc. I use an 036 Pro.

Cant hook for rolling logs
Log lift =cant hook with jack foot underneath.
Peavey = cant hook with a spike in the end

Least wise that's the way I have understood the terminology.

wish they would come out with one with longer and more radius hook for 20-30" wood as that smaller hook does not want to bite into larger wood.

What I'm running now is a 261c, ms400,ms460 and an old trusty 066 for big stuff. And a 034 super once in a while

 

[IffykidMn]

026/261, 044/G444, 572, 592, and 2511P and 355T limbing saws for cutting trails.

Top 5
1.stumpshot ported 266 i use for virtually everything broke 3 recoils so far.
2.zoo city saws ported 272
3.zoo city saws ported 372
4.me ported 2171
5.mike lee ported 288
I can easily live with a 266/268/272/2171/2172/372 size saw for everything.

I did get one of those 70.00 zenoah clone top handles surprisingly handy little saw
I used it a few times my brother borrowed it last spring
Haven't seen it since.

I saw one of your videos on the g395
And although i absolutely positively did not need another saw
It was on flash sale for 268.00 shipped so i ordered a orange one.
And i absolutely did not need the 288s i ordered they were practically giving them away at 176.00 shipped
Mine was good to go from from the box runs/oils great
Very solid saw i grew up on 2 series

A week after the blue one was on black Friday sale they had the orange for 109.00 plus shipping so now i have some orange 288s on order also
plus blue g272 g372xp g372xt
153.00 each shipped so why not.
Any pro series saw builder locally is going for 200.00+
Beat to death mostly.

Where was the sale? If you see anything cool like that again and it’s no trouble. I’d love a pm or a thread. No big deal just curious. For science and all
