Hi all.

So - As saws are an addiction, I have come up with a plan. I need a doable 4 or 5 saw plan, as my treefelling buisness is gaining more momentum.

Currently own :

MS150
MS151
MS193T- Tophandle climbingsaw
MS193
MS261

Have owned :
MS170
MS181
MS192 x2
MS193 x 3
MS200
MS211
MS026
MS260
MS261
MS039
MS036
MS361
MS440
MS660

The idea is to have a small one - Like the MS151, the climbing saw, the 261 and one or two larger ones.

I do some TSI work, need a small saw for that. Have concidered a MS201, but they are pricey.

Then felling residentially, everything from 10" to 100".

Have a few 12", 13",14",16" and a 36" bar chain combos hanging in the shop.

Really looking for what other people use, especially with small saws, and bar and chain options.

Thanks

echo 2511T - Top handle that's used for climbing and small quick cuts. Lives in my truck. My favorite saw. 12" bar
echo 355T - Top handle for climbing. Wears a 16" bar. When I don't want a rear handle in tree.
echo cs400 - small saw for limbing, and general light work. My main workhorse. 16"  bar
Stihl 362cm - 20" bar. when the wood gets bigger
Stihl 661cm - 25" & 36" bars. Big wood and milling

I also have an echo cs490 as an office saw, but it isn't part of the main roster. I'd like to trade the 362 for a 462 or 500I. I could use something in the 70cc range, and I'd then start using the 490 when the wood gets bigger.

I have other saws, but that's the group I really use.
