What saw to look for
By: Chainsawrepair Date: August 29, 2013, 10:41 am

I was just thinking today. I havent set my sites on a particular
saw that interest me and go on the hunt for it for awhile now.
To me the search of finding it and having in hand to check out
means more to me then putting it on the shelf for keeps. That is
why once I get them I pass them onto collectors looking for
rarer saws.
Just trying to think of a saw of my liking that I could go for
that isnt to easy to find. ::)

Actually I don't have one in mind that would really trip my
trigger .I once thought an 090 would be neat until I ran a few
of them.An 064 might be nice but I don't pay much for them so
finding one would be a stroke of luck .
I've got every one of the decent running McCullochs I don't need
any more of them .
Frankly speakig any more I've gotten selective .Something
between 60 and 80 cc's I can enhance a tad just for the sheer
enjoyment of it .On that aspect of that souping up stuff I'm my
only competition which I can't seem to impress on some folks .

I thought I wanted an 084 or 088 until I had to buck about a
half a log truck on the landing with an 084, it wasn't long
before I went home to get a 660. That saw is beyond heavy after
a while of swinging it I decided I realy don't want one.

If you are into wood where you really need a 084, 088, or 880,
they are nice.

mostly the biggest we cut is in the 28" to 30 inch range the
property we are on now is the exception there has been some over
50". But most jobs are basically pulp with a small amount of saw
logs mixed in. mostly that saw is overkill here.

That's the way it is here. In harvested woods, you almost never
get into anything over 30"
The big stuff, where you need 120cc, is a old oak tree in
someone's yard or the old oak tree in the middle of a 100 acre
farm field.

Big saws,upwards of 100 cc and over I have several Husqvarna
2100 ,Mc 105,two 125's .Homelite 2100 S in the avatar and 1 084
Stihl I'm kind of raising as a foster child .
None of them has seen any real action for 4 or so years with the
exception of a short run at a GTG .
Fact the largest displacement saws I've done any real work with
are 81 cc,One 805 Mac ,an SP 81 and a 281 Husqvarna and those
rarely .Most work being done is with either a souped 038 Mag or
a souped 038 AV .
Seldom in these parts do you find much over 24" .The rare 30 and
36" stuff if it amounts to anything I cut into saw logs .It's
not worth the time to drag out one of those larger saws to make
just a few cuts with .

Now having said that there are rare exceptions to every rule and
this is one .About two years ago my little bud Tom called me up
,huge ash trees ,over 60" inch .I thought BS .
So on my day off I packed up a bunch of the larger saws and away
I went only to have failure running any one of them for varied
reasons .We cut this monster up using a new then 660 and my
souped 038 Mag running a 32" skip . Believe it or not the old
038 mag could keep up cut for cut with the 660 .

new nos p+c lately though.
