just wondering what brand saw everyone uses

[567paloggger]

yea my next saw i want to try out is a stihl ms 361

[01crewcab]

I've run Husky's since the mid 70"s. But I've stood behind several old Stihls-041, 051. 075 and 045's, and an 090g. Even made a couple of cuts with a Jonsereds w/42" bar ;D

[inspectorwoody]

I run a little bit of everything!  ;)

Good old Homelites,John Deere,Echo,Jonsered,Stihl,Efco,Makita. Ran a few Mac's too.

  At work Stihl, at home Stihl & Husky.          TT

Stihl.....Husky.....J-red.....
Slightly favor my Stihls, each brand has its good and bad points.

I'll cut 50-75 face cord of wood per year, plus salvage logging to support my woodworking habit.

100% Stihl.

Good dealer, great saws.

[Ron Scott]

Husky's and Stihl's

[Wallys World]

I have a Stihl 024 Super and a Stihl 056. Both saws work great. I purchased the 056 back in 1980 and it is still going strong. I use Poulans when doing brush and shrub removal jobs. This kind of work can be nasty with all kinds of debris around. If I trash one, oh well....

Stihl MS441 and MS260. They compliment each other nicely. Tonto.

[MN Ripper]

Echo CS-670, CS-330T, & Stihl 028 WB.  I enjoy using them all but seem to go for the 670 the most.

[thecfarm]

I have a 372XPG Husky.Like those heated handles when there is snow on the ground. I use it all for fire wood now.I probably cut 20 cord a year with it now.I usually have it in my hands at least once a week.I cut a little each day and go on to another project.I cut a lot of small stuff with it too.Trying to claim back a grown up pasture.Just might get it done if I live for another 100 years.

Well now ,not bragging but I've got an old David Bradley that came over on the Mayflower that most likely would be the envy of most saw operaters .

No anti vib is needed because it weighs about 40 pounds .It will gnaw through anything but of course is not real fast about it . :D Slooooooooow.

I suppose I might use it more often but I would rather preserve it for another 50 years . 8)

[olyman]

as my avatar implys--olympyks. i still sell em. but also have a 920 jons,a homey,a clinton, and the animal,a 090 stihl..also have just found and put together 4 oly 999's,the ones gypo talks about. hes a certified nut in canada. and a logger full time.

    No envy here Al.  ;)  Can you put up a pic?                TT

[Al_Smith]

No but I wish I could figure out how to publish a picture .

I have no trouble on forums that use V bullitin but on others like this I would stand a better chance of walking on water than get a picture to take ..I'm just too stupid I guess . :D

Any way the saw is a slow heavy old rascal and quit honestly I only fiddle with it because of its' antique qualities .It would take a crazy man to use that thing for very long .I'm some dumb not plumb dumb . ;)

[TRI955]

Howdy all, new guy here. It all started for me with a 3400 poulan, then I went Stihl 026 & 440. Got upset with the local dealer and dumped the Stihl's for Shindaiwa's, I think I,ve had almost all of them, still have a few. Wanted a good 50cc saw, so picked up a Jred 2153 and WOW!! So now I'm a Jonsered fan....

Well now ,not bragging but I've got an old David Bradley that came over on the Mayflower that most likely would be the envy of most saw operaters .

I also have a old gear drive David Bradley, in their day were a good saw and you don't see many around.

Today all Stihl, have 11 Stihl saws of diffrent sizes and ages as well as a Stihl back pack leaf blower, Sthil weedeater with cultivator and hedge clipper attachments and a Stihl Hedge clipper.

The only off brand saw I have is a Husky I bought for a topping saw and is the biggest piece of junk I've ever had, allmost threw it out from up in the tree several times.

[Al_Smith]

 The DB's were just a better deal than using a whip saw .There were certainly better saws made during that time period but those are about bullit proof,just slower than a snail .

Those antiques are fun to restore and fiddle with but being one who knows first hand they are not something you want to run if there is much cutting to do . Unless of course you desire to give your body a work out  at the same time while cutting some wood .Kind of  like killing two birds with one stone in a way of speaking . :D

[SawTroll]

hey guys just was wondering what saws everyone was using and how much are they cutting with it a year i personally use huskys

So do I - but one of my favourites is the MS361.... 8) :D :D

The other favourite is the NE346xp - it has been cutting well into the Stihls earlier domain lately...... ;D :D :D


My 5100S isn't cutting into any other saws domain - I don't find it too exiting, but it still is a good saw.

[ErikC]

  I am a stihl fan, got it from dad who is also. I have ran a husky a few times but like the stihl better for some reason. 260, 290, 039, 044 and 460 in the shed right now. I have even had good luck with the homeowner line(290 and  039)

[nikocker]

Greetings everyone -
I'm new here, just found the website. I'm a fan of Huskys. Always have been as I think their ergonomics are great. . . at least for me. Love the performance of my NE346XP as well as my 372XP.

Thanks  - - - Al   

[Magicman]

028 and 310 Stihl's, but I do still have a couple of Homelite XL 12's.

[John Woodworth]

Al: had forgot about the old David Bradley until you mentioned yours, thought I might get the old girl running again, are carb kits and points still around for them? Also I rember using 30 wt. oil in the saw mix, seems like it was 1 quart to 5 gallons of gas, does that sound rite to you?

[cb6048]

I think my screen name says it all-but Husky for me 8) I cut about 10 cords a year with my 372 and 346(new) ;D

I just love my 346xp!

First saw I ever owned was a stihl , and I daily use an  015  14 in, 028 super 18 in, 038 av 28 in.
