How many saws?

[SnoJetter]

Just curious...how many saws do you guys own, for what jobs, and why?  For a long time, I've always kinda figured one saw was enough for most jobs.  I just cut firewood for myself, so I used my dad's 026 as a feller/bucker/limber.  But I've recently discovered multiple saws come in handy!  For example:

I have 4.

Stihl 029 w/ 18" bar - my dad bought me this saw as a surprise for...just because he figured it was time I had my own saw rather than use his all the time.  That was about 5 years ago.  I use it primarily as a feller.

Stihl 031 w/ 18" bar - Gramps gave it to me as a fixer-upper.  It didn't need much work, and it works well.  I use it primarily for bucking, though I use it as a feller (not often cuz it leaks gas out the breather hole when the tank is full  )

Jonsered 535 w/ 18" bar - limber and bucker.  Gramps favorite saw is a 535, and being light it doesn't wear a guy out using it when you gotta move it around such as when limbing. 

Jonsered 455 w/ 16" bar - this one isn't running well, but I plan to use is as a limber when I get it fixed.

And I just bought another 535.  Why??  No good reason except that I just like that saw so doggone much!  I've always considered myself a Stihl guy, but I find there is room in the garage for some Red, too.

Roughly 25..............but who is counting???

[Sawyerfortyish]

Ditto that last post. Between the sawmill ,firewood processor , several trucks, and three farms. I think I have hmm not sure. Now you made me stop to take inventory. I hate to walk to far to get a saw.

[logger]

I have 4 of my own. 

Stihl MS440 Magnum- Feller, Bucker, Limber.  Mostly Feller.

Stihl MS460 Magnum-Feller, Bucker, Limber.  Mostly Feller and bucker.

Stihl MS280- Limber, Bucker, Some Felling.

Poulan Pro 220- some of everything.  Nothing to brag about, although a good saw.

Stihl MS361, Stihl MS660 Magnum- want to get soon!!!!!!!

[SawTroll]

I have 3 functional firewood saws:

-Husky 353G; my wife bought me that one - and it is really is all I need.

-Jonsereds Raket 621; my father in law gave me his old saw when he quit sawing at a age of 85. Saw is 35 years old, and still going strong.

-Stihl MS 361W, the one I bought myself.

I also have some even smaller saws, but don't use them any more.

A 20" dbh tree is a really big one where I live.

[RSteiner]

At times there have been four chain saws around the place but the combination that works best for me is two. 

I like a bigger saw for the felling and bucking operations something around 4.5 cubic inches displacement.  Then there is the smaller and ligther saw for the limbing operations, I save firewood down to about 2" diameter or less sometimes.  I have developed the attitude of a friends grandfather, if it is worth cutting it is worth keeping.

Having two saws is handy when you get one stuck.  Using a ligther saw for limbing really makes a difference in the fatigue department. 

Randy

[SnoJetter]

Sawtroll, I've got my grandfathers 621 down here at my place, too.  He didn't give it to me...I just "borrowed" it to test it out.  That big heavy saw cuts like none other I've ever used.  Gramps is 80 and prefers a lighter saw now.

Kyle

[SawTroll]

Kyle; Oh yes, it is heavy - actually it weights about the same as a Stihl MS460.
I mainly use it for bucking logs into firewood length - not in the woods.
The performance of the old saw is rather amacing, given that it is only 56 cc's and about 2.6 kw.
I run mine with a 3/8"x8 rim sprocket, which I think was standard on these saws - 16" bar, and 73LP chain - and it cuts real fast.

Mine is one of the first ones, with no safety features except a low plasic handguard in front of the handlebar. There were several variants from 1970 to about 1984.

Gypo, do you still have the late model 621 pictured some years ago on another chainsaw forum? That one is the nicest looking 621 I have ever seen.....

[jjmk98k]

I have 4 saws,

a old Remington Mighty Mite bantam..... runs fine with it's 14" bar, i take it into the woods on my quad incase I need to clear a small tree or some other trail blocking problem, small and light....

Husqvarna 141 my pallet cutting saw, if it gets beat up on a nail once in a    while, i am not too upset, I like cutting the hardwood clean pallets for starter wood.... Usually cut 20+ pallets in a weekend and it gives me plenty of kindling..


  Husqvarna 350 for general use, firewood cutting, small time felling


Husqvarna 372 XP  still pretty much a new saw for me, but it'll be used to cut lenghts of trees into firewood sized chunks. Maybe do some small time freehand milling to make some benches and tables for around my camp...

[Ed]

Ya can't never have to many saws!!!

These are "shared" by myself & my father....If the chain is sharp, it's his, if it's dull, mine.

2 Stihl 020's,  14" bars, both with the "tail" handle- Trimming & limbing.

Stihl 026  16" bar- General purpose firewood saw.

Stihl 032  20" bar- Used as more of a back-up saw, when you hang one up.

Stihl 046  20" bar- General felling & bucking, when the 084 isn't needed.

Stihl 084  24, 36 & 60" bars- Big tree felling, bucking & ripping blocks into manageable sizes.

Stihl ht75 pole pruner- For reminding me I need to see the chiropractor.

Husky 254xp  16" bar- Another general purpose firewood saw.

Husky 371xp  20" bar- Dad's saw, he says my Stihl 046 starts to hard.

I also have a friends 026, he said "take it!, use it!, I haven't run it in 5 years"    no problem 

 

[Jeff]

Can I count these??

[jjmk98k]

Jeff, now thats cool to see! Almost as neat as the Russian saw we all gabbed about not too long ago...

the fist one is interesting, can you expand a little more?

[Jeff]

That first saw and the second are Barker Rim saws. Made by none other then our own Bro Nobles Grandpappy's company. Two of my most prized saws.

Here is a lengthy thread on them.

http://www.forestryforum.com/board/index.php?topic=1161.0

[redpowerd]

is the red one you got there in original condition?

looked at a few links but didnt see much info on it. shes a beaut!

[OneWithWood]

Stihl MS460 Magnum - falling saw
Stihl MS440 Magnum - bucking, limbing saw
Stihl 038 AV Farm Boss - yard saw
Stihl 019T - TSI saw

[Chris J]

Jonsered:  2--801s (1 sort of runs & 1 parts).  3--670s (West Coast runs, 2 parts).  2--Unknown (haven't put any real effort into IDing them; parts saws at best).

Husqvarna:  1--51 (almost like new-still needs to be 'ran in' & readjusted).

Stihl:  1--025 (runs, needs oil pump).  2--011 (one runs, other needs ignition system I think).  2--009 (both not running).  1--015L (needs ignition system, which I have, but saw doesn't appear easy to work on, also a mechtech said it's a difficult saw to repair).  Have quite a few misc parts for 011 & 009; probably enough for a complete saw, give or take a few parts.

David Bradley:  1--I can never remember the model #; it's in a thread here somewhere (not running, & I doubt that I'll ever work on it).

[Jeff]

is the red one you got there in original condition?

looked at a few links but didnt see much info on it. shes a beaut!

Yep, original, found in a barn condition.   It was hardly used and mostly like new.  Actually, the other one is almost as nice. It is an earlier "folding sawing machine"  It is natural ash. The ones made in the 1890's, like that one, did not have paint. It is on our mantle now, but still, very functional

[Chris J]

Jeff-the saw with the wheels is cool.  What's its story?  In general, were those used much?  Thanks.

[Jeff]

Thats an ottawa drag saw one of the last models built in the early 40's. Dragsaws were used all across the country and built by several companies. You can usually always find a running example at old engine shows. Mine runs, and since I found almost a new old blade for it, it really cuts quite well.  The ottawa actually had a felling artachment available for it, but those are very rare. Not hard to figure out why. Not something you could move real quite if a tree decided to go the wrong way.

[redpowerd]

real nice find.

im allways "checking" old barns for any kind of wooden implement.
id have something like that on my mantle too.

[oldsaw]

Go out with an 066 and Homie Super XL.  If I've got the room, I'll bring the Homie 150, just in case.

066 runs Alaskan mill, and does the "big jobs", the Super XL gets the smaller stuff

Simple, no?

KDJ

[Ga_Boy]

Here is what I have for now.

028 with a 18" bar, use this for general purpose stuff like firewood and limbing.

361 with a 20" bar, use this for felling and bucking and limbing; if the 028 is too far away.

Got the itch for a 460 Magnum with a 32" bar, I seem to be gitting the bigger logs and a bigger saw would be nice too have. 


There is no such thing as too much horsepower.

DanG, I have more saws than we have trees in ND 

[Daren]

 The Rim Circle Saw is one of the coolest things I have seen in a while. Well, there is another tool I will have to look for to add to the collection.

[maple flats]

4 saws. Mac super 250, 32"bar, poulon pro, 20"bar, and 2 light weight poulons 18" and 16". Super 250 starts real hard and rarely gets used, 404 chain. all others run but I almost always use the light Poulon 18" for everything from dropping trees up to about 30" and limbing, climbing. Just like it and cuts as fast as even the super 250 if the chain is sharp. If not sharp I go sharpen it and then cut unless I pinch it and then use the 16" lightweight poulon. Over the years I've had a few bigger ones but never liked them. If I just felled and bucked all day most likely would use more pro saws, but I just work alone and have a relaxed schedule when cutting, I've found it safer that way. Take time to really look at the situation and observe what dangers there are to hopefully avoid ALL accidents. Watch for tension, closing kerfs, splitting (barber chairing) etc. etc. etc. Saw safely!

[iain]

Huskie  181 with 26"bar  for doing stuff with
Stihl   39 farm boss for around the work shop
Stihl   84 with 36" for doing bigger stuff with
Stihl    84 (another one) with 60" for doing even bigger stuff with
and of course the mizer
and a new (to me) band saw which i can fit just on 22" under the guides

[tony_marks]

372 modded,,962 olympyk modded, 026 modded, top handled echo.
  modded was the key for me. . kinda took the fun of looking for saws away. but my saws suit me good. ithey fit my jobs exactly. so like i said anything i see ,cant bump one of my modded saws. so i no longer get a real kick out of finding good deals on saws.
 i have oiwned as many as 10 workjing saws .none like what i have now.

[Lewis Brander]

Hello to all. Well, I just picked up 13 more saws plus a Homelite generator model 24A115-2 and my total is now 31. But who's counting, I just collect them. Here's a a list. Disston D0-101, PM Rocket K1 series, 2 Homelite 5-20's, a 600D, Zip, C-5 and C-51,  Bolens 3900-10, David Bradley 917.6003, Mono 85, Strunk Speed Demon Special, Wright saw Super Rebel, Solo Rex, Lancaster Six-55, Montgomery Wards WD-55D, Pioneer 650, 2200, P-24, McCulloch 1-43, 1-40 and 250, 2 Mini Mac 6's. Poulan 3400 AV, Remington SL-9, 3 Mighty Mites, and 2 Shihl 08S's. They're all runners except the McCulloch 1-40, 1-43, Remington SL-9, 3 Mighty Mite and 1 Stihl O8S which are going to be parts saws. The generator is also running and puts out good current and voltage. Haven't been on this site in a while, have been working on the saws. The running saws will be complete once I get the parts I ordered form a fellow in England. Also have a lead on a Disston DA-211 that's a runner, but needs a clutch.   Everyone take care. Lewis Brander.

[sawguy21]

Lewis you are a real packrat I have a Husky 345 for regular use, a Skil 1610 (TML) camp saw, a Stihl 045 Super,  Pioneer 450 and a Homelite C-9 just cuz I like old saws

[Lewis Brander]

Hello sawguy21. I think my wife would agree with you. Hopefully I'll know about the Disston DA-211 by the end of this coming week. I know she'll be happy about that one also. She really like it when I fire them up outside to run them. I imagine the neighbors do to. Nothing like firing them up on a Sunday morning and waking everyone around up. I wouldn't do that, no not me. Ok, for now take care. Lewis Brander.

Well, now collection is up to 31 saws. Managed to pick up the Disston, DA-211 to add to the collection. Cleaned her up, did some minor repairs along with replacing 2 magneto coils and painted her up. Will try to attach a photo from --Photos MUST be in the Forestry Forum gallery!!!!!--. Take care. Lewis Brander.

Beautiful Restoration Lewis. Great to see them old saws Brings back memories Thanks for sharing

[Tom]

Better get a good look.  If the pictures aren't on the FF Gallery therel is a good chance they will be gone sometime.  Either Lewis cleaning house on photo bucket or photo bucket going away. 

Get the pictures on the FF Gallery and they will be here forever. 

[redpowerd]

i see you have found a good use for the ogdensburg 'urnal.

nice looking job lewis. theres lotsa help here for uploading pics into the archive. i can help if you need it.

[jokers]

I`ve seen several of Lewis' restored saws first hand, seen `em run too. Some of the finest looking restorations that I`ve seen.

Well, fellas, haven't been on in awhile. See that the pics are still uploading? OK. So what's the porblem? I'm under the impression that if I upload photos from --Photos MUST be in the Forestry Forum gallery!!!!!-- that I'm not using (bandwith?) space on this site and it's better for the site to do it this way. Comments welcome. I'm not a coomputer neerd and haven't figured how to load pics to this site. I understand --Photos MUST be in the Forestry Forum gallery!!!!!-- automatically does this anyway. Don't feel like downloading more stuff to load pics. As I said any comments? Take care. Lewis. 

[Lewis Brander]

Redpowered, Thanks for the compliment. I thought you were  going to stop in at some piont in time, but haven't seen you as yet. Would be good to chew the fat. Lewis.

Jokers, you'll see the DA-211 and some others I've done, soon at the GTG. Take care. Lewis Brander.

[Furby]

Lewis,
While it does take up space on the forum, it is better to upload directly to the forum so that down the road when --Photos MUST be in the Forestry Forum gallery!!!!!-- springs a leak or you stop doing buisness with them or you even delete the pic there, this thread here still has a pic and the thread still makes sense!
The threads on the forum don't "expire" or get purged from the system like on other sites. They are retained as a knowledge base. Tons of people come here to read old threads, I know I do all the time. Once in a while one is brought back to the surface to see the light of day. The threads don't make any sense when the important pics are not there.

Here is a link to info on uploading and posting pics, if you need any help, feel free to send me a message.
http://www.forestryforum.com/board/index.php?topic=12416.0

[Lewis Brander]

Furby, thanks for the link. I'll print it off and see if I can make sence of it. I'll download the optimizer program again and go from there. Seems like most of my photos in my picture folder have bee resized once or twice, but probably can do it again for this site. We'll see what happens. You take care. Lewis.

[twistedtree]

Just two;

Husky 262XP - about 18 years old now
Husky 346XPG - just got it recently to replace a Husky 50 I donated to the Mississippi clean-up effort

After reading about some of your collections, my two saws seems like a small selection.

[PawNature]

1 Husky 365
1 Homelite 33cc
1 Electric

[SawTroll]

Husky 262XP - about 18 years old now

Is that possible?

I thought they were introduced about 1989/90.

[TRUSSMAN]

2 Stihl's
046 Mag.,  used for felling and bucking
026,  used for limbing and yard wok

1 Homlite
XL,  used very little

Jeff

[twistedtree]

Husky 262XP - about 18 years old now

Is that possible?

I thought they were introduced about 1989/90.

You are right.  I was confusing the purchase date with the 50, which I bought in '87.  I just checked the receipt and I bought the 262XP in '91, so it's 14 years old, and the 50 was 18.

[timberjack240]

288 husky - its not really mine but pap has it set just for me and im the only one who runs it. iuse it for everything. good saw for cuttin logs apart. the only cuttin down i did with it was some little poles and i did a LOT of trimmin mostly hemlocks. little heavy for that till the end of the day  its nice for firewood i can knock a pile od wood apart in a couple minutes but till the end its gets a little heavy for that to. i was cuttin some fire wood and a guy that was there had a  johnserred it was nothin compareed to what i was usin i looked up and his mouth was hangin open adn i herd my unlce say yea that saw runs pretty good then i wound er back up so i dont no what he sed

[Ironwood]

OK , I fess up. Up two from post # 22 on this thread, Two used Husky 372xp's. Down one 335, traded for a 12,000 pound little used firetruck Ramsey winch (GOOOOD TRADE).

                  REID

[sawguy21]

I have added a Clinton 351D, a McCulloch 35 that sorta runs and a Stihl 015AV since my last post. The Stihl needs a set of points which are obsolete . Space is running short so I am trying to be more selective. Really. Honest. Good thing I don't have a significant other to deal with.

[Bill]

Easy - I mostly just cut personal firewood and such but one needs to have the right tool ;-) so

little saw is a Stihl 019T - 35cc w/ 14" bar
big saw is Poulan 245a - 75 cc w/18" & 24" bars ( an old but good saw )

parts saw is poulan 245a off ebay ( and just barely a parts saw )

now that I see how many saws are really required I'll have to check out the used market

[Dan_F]

All are husky

1 335 climbing 16''
2 345 limbing 16''
1 359 thinning 20''
1 266 firewood 24''
1 268 firewood 24''
1 372 falling, use with lucas mill 32''
2 288 falling 1 28'' 1 32''
2 394 ripping/falling 1 36'' 1 42''
1 2100 36''
1 2101 48''

[Chris J]

Okay, I've added a few since my previous post.  23 total, not counting quite a few misc parts.  I'll test my memory...

Got a Stihl 034 av 18" and I traded 2 Echo's and bought a 036 pro 18" and 20" while the 034 was down for repairs after being ran over with the tractor and just purchased a used 046 20" and 28". 034 and 036 are used for just about everything and the 046 is going to be used for ripping logs that don't fit the bandmill.

Just 3
500 Echo 18 inch bar does it all. Well almost all. Most of the stuff I cut for  firewood is 20 inches or less.
Echo 750 EVL 24 inch bar, felling and bucking the stuff the 500 won't handle.
.075 Stihl 36 inch bar, since everyone needs a boat anchor    Actually it gets used for quartering the big stuff that I can't squeeze into the mill.

had a 55 rancher that my brother gave me. I gave it back and asked what I did to make him so mad at me that he gave me that thing.  Seriously that was the hardest starting saw I have ever seen. And the cous's new husky ain't no better

Yep,I saw where you got that 660 Mac.I was watching it myself .With any luck ,yours will be a 2 to 1 reduction and not 3 to 1.The 660 is a later model of the 650,of which I have one.They are surprisingly fast for a gear drive.I might add that my 650 is about the most dependable starting saw I own .
