I would have a Stihl 026 (favorite saw) to cut smaller stuff and then an MS660 with an assortment of bars to handle anything the 026 is on the small side for. That isn't an ideal line-up but is comprehensive if I was limited to 2 saws.

I have those two models with others smaller, in between and larger but I could get by with those if needed but it wouldn't be much fun.

I mostly cut firewood now,but a few trees for the sawmill too. I have a 372 Husky and a 152 Efco,51.7cc. The Efco I use for a limbing saw. That little saw saves on my shoulder pain.

MS361 or MS362 with 20" bar  (if only one choice).  Great all around size.

I run my 40 and 50 cc Echo saws a lot, once in a while get out a Ehco cs670, 044 stihl. cs8000 echo, husky 385, 7900 Dolmar,  Solo 690 or a 143 Dolmar.  I have a few other 50cc saws with no where near the power of those Echo 50cc saws.   Steve

What's done to them echos just a mm?

[woodchipper95]

Seems like 50cc and a 70ish cc is the two saw set up. I like it now there wernt so many saws it would be an easy pick.....

Ohhh I wish I was a wealthy man then I'd have any saw that came to question...

  Just a muff modd and good tuning, they really wake up with a muff modd.   Also your right a 50cc and a 70cc but I'd want a light 50cc saw around 10.5 pounds or less.  Steve

[clww]

Not that I could imagine having less than 10 saws, but if I could only keep three of my saws, it would be:
MS361, MS460, and 084.
All Stihls of course. ;)

I'm looking for a light saw in the 45-50cc range to replace a toy trim saw. Gonna hotrod that one because I want it as light as possible with the most power possible.

My 64cc saw may or may not become an 80cc saw but there is little difference in weight so it will work just fine as a midrange saw.

I don't really need a 90cc-100cc+ saw but I am on the lookout for one that I can pick up pretty cheap. I want an old saw anyway so if I find an old saw in that size range it would work just fine since I don't think I will really be putting it to the test very often.

Reading about mm in some saws I found there is a need to do something with screws?  ???

[ladylake]

 On a CS500p all you need to do is take the deflector off with 4 screws and remove a tube under it and open the deflector up some, almost like they want you to modd it.   steve

[chucker]

if I could only have 2 or 3 saws, I would probably hang it up and go play with the gas/oil companies toys instead of mine..... makes me shutter at just the thought of that turd brained notion! ???

[strongsaw]

Only 3 saws? My wife would like that! Surely you mean 3 saws per day, not forever. Let's see, on Monday; I would take my Efco 7200, Echo 520, Redmax 4500. Tuesday; Redmax GZ7000, Efco 152, Echo 400, Wednesday; Echo 590, Shindiawa 488, a different Echo 400. Thursday; Efco 156, a different Efco 152, Echo 440. Friday; Poulan 3400(good old saw), Echo 450, Efco 3500.
What can I say, to many trees not enough saws. I currently only have 20. Greg

What do you use to open the deflector?

If I could only have 2 it would be a 562xp and a 372xp if I could have 3 it would be 2 562s and a 372, but thank God that's not the case!

Of the saws I've run I am happy with my MS261 with a 16" bar and my 044 with a 20" and 24" bars. I am just a firewood cutter that also has some wooded pasture so those trees need cut up and removed when they go down.

[gary courtney]

I sent my 600 to Tennessee  out of box woods port,mm they take mods very well! I have video on youtube cutting cookies when i got it back name on youtube was taken by joey

[gologit]

Two saws?  That's what I have now and they're both 660s, one stock and one slightly massaged by TreeSlingr.   That's plenty for me.  Some years there might be a hold-over backup 660 but usually 2 saws is all I have.

Oh, wait...the wife has a ms250 .  It's her firewood saw. It sounds like a snooze alarm.
