Kicking around the 60cc Husqvarna fire wood saws out there....a continuation of a never ending conversation between Spike60 and myself...:) With some 40cc saws and some history.

Good video guys.  You're right about how we can get lost in the bigger mod saws and the class of saws you're talking about are THE back bone of the saw industry.  Truth be known, I enjoy running my 357 more than my 372.

I'd rather be in the woods than on this computer.

"best saw" is most definitely a relative term.  Needs will vary by usage requirements.  I will agree that 60cc seems to be the way to go if you want only one saw and that is what size I would choose. 

3 saw plan works great for me.  A top handle, 50cc and 70cc.  50cc does most tasks and is my allarounder.  Top handle for ladders or brush work, 70cc comes out for big'uns & if there is a lot of bucking to do.
