Two saw plan. 50/70 or 60/90

[Woodpecker]

50/79 here if I'm restricted to just 2 saws. I usually prefer to roll with a couple smaller top handles in addition though.

If you haven't been out here, you should head West.

When I was 19 or 20 I went to Coeur d'Alene once for a week long retreat. But my sights were set more on the women then the trees. I haven’t been west of the Rocky’s since.

For me it's a 346XP or 5105 and a 7910, but I'm looking to add a 562xp or 6100 just because.

For most my needs a 40 and 50 for most my ash fire wood. If im cutting bigger oak or hickory its 50 and 80.
But 90 percent of my cutting is with a 50cc saw.

Ported 60cc and a 120. Git er done.

Yep!! I could handle almost every piece of wood in the last 2 years with a 24” bar. 10% of the time I would have to cut from both sides, and 60% of the time, I would have 4” sticking beyond the trunk.

I’m surprised you pnw guys don’t carry two 395’s and laugh at anything smaller. Seems like every tree out there is 30”DBH.

30”? I cut that with the harvester still stuff big enough for long bars out here.

Most of the time I’ll run a 390 or 395 depending on wood and size. Our small wood I’ll run the 562 with a 32” bar on it.

If only 2 saws definitely 50/70. However I just don't like that idea and I go to my woods now with the 42/50/52/56/64 plan. Works good. If I can't cut it one pass with a 24 I ain't trying to split it.

Lots of timber and chicks here lol ohh and timber chicks lol. Im like 45 minutes from cda, nice area

Two 70 cc saws of the same chassis, that way i can interchange bars, and parts to keep me running

Interesting concept, I would like to say that I would pick the 50/70cc pairing quite a bit of the time. However with saws from 35 to 100cc's sometimes things change depending on the job at hand. Just the other day it was 90/100cc day, this is quite rare to do though. Some days just one 60cc saw is good for the whole job, sometimes a good running 50 is all I really need, the time lost on a couple bucking cuts isn't worth packing in another larger saw.

Im a ported 346 and ported 372 guy. I have bigger and smaller, but I hardly ever cut firewood with them.

 

[Bigmac]

Both? Is that an option?

 

[RedGas]

34, 59 and 92cc here. Is that a two-saw plan?

By far, most of my cutting is with the 361, which is why I just ordered a kit for a second one.

As for the 660 – well, I'm also a fan of the Pig!

I’m definitely a 50/70 feller. When I go into the woods or to the log pile my 372 always comes along for the ride. The only variation is in my small saw, it’s either 254, 357 or 262. Which one of those three I grab just depends on what I feel like running that day, sometimes it’s all of them . They all do the job very well with a nod going to the 254 for being the lightest.

I use 2 saws now for the size wood I cut. Ported 346xp eith 16" Cannon/ Picco and a ported 562xp with 28 es light

 

[Joe Kidd]

What's that Maxima K2 stuff all about. I thought you were a Red Armor guy?

I use both

 

[nk14zp]

Jred2095 is the only saw I use.

 

[TreeLife]

50/70... 261c/550xp and 372xt/7900. You can murder lots of wood with both them there saws.
