Only 1 Chainsaw to choose

IF you could pick ONLY 1 chainsaw from your chainsaws you have right now on hand in your stable to use the next 5-10 years what would be your choice and why?

Me, I love my 3ci 50cc  size saws because of lighter weight. But I think in this case I would have to go with my Poulan Pro 445 71cc with 16" to 24" bars.

Only draw back of this might be parts down the road.  So if I had a newer 71cc on hand that would have been my choice.

Simple for me, MS241. All that my favorite saw 242 Husky was but better anti vibe, power and filter. Nothing where I live it can't cut.

Sort of like cut4fun, I like my 3 cube saws (all of them) but could survive, limbing wise, with either of them.

But there are bigger tree trunks in the woods that need one of my Husky 372's to drop and block the trunks. Even in my yard there are Husky 365/372 size trees.

I suppose I could get by just fine with one of my nice 372's if I had to?

Dolmar 7900.  Can't go longer than 28 because of the oiler.  But I can put a 16 inch on it to limb. Id miss my ps540 and my 395xp something awful, though.  :-\

I guess that is a good point.

A 16" bar on your Stihl 660 makes it much more nimble?

That is like being asked to tell a person which nut would you liked to be kicked in(if you had 10 nuts that is).....ouch.



Guess I can always cut little with big, but it's almost impossible to cut big with little?

I'll go Jonsered 2094.......
