What 50cc saw to buy?

[joshmain]

Looking at getting a 50cc saw to go with my 460? Anyone have an opinion!

I got a 550xpg from Spike for $550 shipped to my door. I can't see where you are at, so don't know if heat matters to you.?

it's awesome stock. appt with MM in Feb. I don't like the grey paint, so I bought orange cases and covers for it. Looking forward to having an all orange 550.

seriously though, the 545/550 is a great saw right out of the box. Ive had a Stihl 261cm, and felt it was "big boned" not quite what I want in a saw of that CC class. Another one to consider is the Jonsured 2260. It is very close to the size of the 550xp but has 10cc more. Where are you located?

Kenis (Dexter Day) is just like myself, I don't buy by the brand name, I buy by the model #. There are certain saws from each manufacturer that are great, and then there are turds from them as well.

He is the one that got me hooked!

 

[bryanr2]

We live a mile and a half from each other, went to school together been buds for a long time!

550xp that they are giving away here would be a great machine!! Or the 545!!

And yeah Steven, me and Josh have been best buds for about 20 years. He is a good dude for sure!!

026/MS260, MS261, 545/550xp, 346xp are all good saws. I have owned all of them, but I'm partial to the (346xp) Jonsered 2153...

 

[skippy]

346 or a550xp dex did I meet him at your gtg?/joshmain

 

[NorthcentralYooper]

The J red 2253 is pretty much a red 550xp , that's another option ..... depends on what you want to spend.
