What saws do you run?

[Jay]

Im looking at getting some new saws. At the moment of have a 200t which i had from new which is great but i also have 2 025's and a johnsered 625 which were all bought second hand just to get me started doing the odd job here and there. and also a little echo which was new for just in the garden before i even thought about doing arb as a job.

 

so i know there not brilliant saws but were cheap and served me well. now im looking at upgrading them all but not sure what to get. im thinking about a 260 and 441 or something like those.

 

anyone got any suggestions.

i prefer the 460 over the 441, though if moneys an issue theres really not a huge amount of power difference in it and 441 would be a good choice.

260 is a good saw but i'd opt for a 341, but again, depends what you want to spend

i think a 341 would be better as its more powerfull but still small enough for general use.

 

stihl all the way!!!!!!!

[Steve Bullman]

you have to mod the 341 like i have to get the most out of it...out of the box i found it to be very sluggish

i'd get a 361 over a 341 any day. i have both and the 361 is far better.

I run

 

017, its small and handy to keep by the chipper, also brilliant for hedge laying.

 

Ms260 my all round everyday saw I've had it 4 years its bombproof and prefer it over a mates 341.

 

MS660 I have 3 different sizes of bars for it, a great work horse.

 

i'm looking for a 460 to bridge the 260 - 660 gap this year.

MS170 is also great for cutting large discs down the middle, with it only being a thin blade, not as much shavings
