What's your favorite 70cc saw?

[longbowch]

Here's some pictures for you @MustangMike. I'm surprised you didn't ask for them. All I did was wiped it down a little. I put the 20 inch bar on it. It came with the 28, you can see it's barely used.

Only 70cc class saw I have is a 576XP-AT and never use it , my smaller saws get all the use but it's there if the need should arise .

Wow, that is a very nice looking saw, good find! Hope it runs strong and gives you years of reliable service!

They are good running saws, but very heavy. IMO, 372s and 044/440s are more in the "sweet spot".

Stock , 7300 or 10mm 044.

Ported, 372

The spring AV does take a bit of getting used to. For a felling saw, I prefer a stiff AV so you stick it in and use the dawgs without a bunch of mush.

Here is my MOFO 044, like it so much I am going to sell my other 044 I think

That's a good question. My 044 served me well for years. Now I have a ms 460 And a372. Your in good hands with any of these 3. Its a toss up my favorite. I'm usually partial to husky. 372 and 044 are sweet great saws and capable of getting you through even big wood and jobs. Even lacking stump power they get it done. In 70c.c class only I probably wouldn't trade a 046mag of the last run, for anything. I've run Em all the 046mag was the baddest. I'm glad I have both and a ms460. The 372 won't leave again, one reason, when the wood and tops get to big for the top saw. My climber uses my 372, which virtually eliminates the need for a 20inch size saw class, because it's nearest that weight, but far stronger. A 372 for tree removals is a huge asset.

The one with the sharpest chain,and a nicely tweaked motor.

What is a better saw. 576XP or MS460. I have a like new MS460 but for some reason (CAD) I want a 576XP

I've had both. 576 is smoother with the same power but doesn't sound as wild

I had a guy telling me his MS390 was out cutting his MS461 in same size wood.

Only difference he said the 390 had 20" and 461 28". I dont know how his chain was. I told him either your 461 something wrong or chain.

I told him put the same chain and bar on both and get back with me.
He never got back to me. So who knows.

Stock 461 dont run like a turd stock 460 with stock pencil eraser exit hole when new does it?

 

[dolmarkid]

044/046 hybrid

 

[CR500]

At the current moment I still liked my 441

The 7900 is in a different class sort of lol

Nope. They run a little better than a decent running 460

Oh it was a older 039 not 390.
Who knows. One of those I wish I had them both in my hands to see.

044 is my favorite but I must also admit it's the only 70cc class saw I have, heh heh heh.
