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.

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

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  :D  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.  ;D ;D 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 .
