What current 60cc class saw is best?

[mainer_in_ak]

Very true. Too much rage about speed thru a log on stands. That has very little to do with real world work and usage, reliability, repairs etc. Don’t get me wrong some cookies here and there can be fun for entertainment or tuning…but many people use that to determine what is the “best” saw. There really is no “best” saw so to say. What works great for one may not for another. I myself enjoy all flavors!

I'm in the woods today on the last spring snow. No tachometer around. No burr grinders. No youtubers talking bout bigger carbs and unlimited coils and 620 cylinders.

Yep, I'm just letting my Timberwolf be a timberwolf.

I aint kink-shameing or anything, but there's some fkn sickos out there, that expect a 590 to identify as some other lifeform. Dyed plastics and all sorts of meth-fueled sht.
It doesn't have to identify as a PW.

It amazes me that the myth still persists about auto tuning saws that they are too complicated to use/work on/repair. All they do is tune themselves with simple electronics, that's it. I've yet to see one that did not tune itself, yet they get blamed for every kind of failure that any saw can have.

I was gonna start a Gothic Christian band called

Rob Zombie Jesus (on easter)

Because sinners suck!

Man u guys sure do like drifting threads. Time to bring this sht back solidly into 60-69 cc territory.

It is 9pm and i am still in the woods. My not so best timberwolf just made me the best gift. A seat with beveled contours! That will also be used as firewood.

I haven’t heard much on the 562xp mkII. Perhaps that means it is holding up better that the original. Someone on here has to has have some first hand experience or customers that do.

Same here. Hopefully a case of no news is good news.

This thread has me more curious about the echo saws. I never gave them much thought in the past. I have a backpack blower from echo and I highly recommend it. It performs better than the husky I had after a premature failure on the husqvarna 580 forced me to shell out for a new blower.
What bar mount does echo use?
Mainly just having a little fun talking saws again thanks guys

The 50cc Echo saws use an Oregon K216 mount (K095 can be easily modified to work)
The 60cc Echo saws use an Oregon D176 mount.
The 7310 uses an Oregon D009 mount.

That attitude is dangerous, I predict you will have 15 saws by this time next year and at least three of them will be Echos...

Well, that's what my post was about. The version of the MS 400 with the engine, with the displacement you stated, which is 66.8 cm³, does not have a version with heated handles, so there is only the MS 400 C-M. The heated handles have the new version with the 62.6 cm³ engine. This has been discussed many times here and elsewhere. There are plenty of other changes to the MS 400.1, such as no magnesium alloy piston, a different air filter and more.
Unfortunately, this is not followed by a lower price. Right now you can order it (MS 400.1 C-M) directly from Stihl's German online store for €1499, which works out to about €1260 ($1378) without tax. The MS 400(.1) C-M VW version is still only in small quantities at dealers.
In comparison, the MS 400.0 C-M costs €1489 in the same store.
