Well now.
As of now i have a ms362 that i pull a 20" bar and a 25" as well.
i've been keeping a skip tooth on the 25"er.
I would like a beast. something that will pull up to a 36" bar.
but that would probably be the highest i would need.
in reality the big saw would probably live with a 32 or 28" bar everyday.
right now the new saws i'm pondering are a ms461 or 390xp
or a 661/660/066 vs the 395xp.
during my time cutting for the man the largest saws i have run would be a 660(stihl) and a 372xp (husqvarna)
the huskies are zippy but every one has issues. leaking fuel, busted stop switch.
they all start and run balls out but.....
the 66 series saws i've been in contact with have all been solid but seem to bog down with the exception of an old 066
and my god how they guzzle gas.
i haven't spent enough time with the 46es to have a solid opinion.
in looking at the specs on paper, a 461 with a skip for the larger bars seems like the best choice but the price difference between 660 and a 461 is about a bill.
i guess the last consideration is that i don't have a decent relationship with a local husqvarna dealer and that my 25" bar won't fit on the husky.
what say you all powerful treehouse?
