Is it possible to have too many chainsaws?

[swinny]

Evening all

 

Silly question really but is it possible to have too many chainsaws in your opinion? How many do you currently have and actually use and do you keep spares etc?

 

Was thinking of thinning out my small collection but was wondering what the general opinion was of saws to cover the different areas they are needed for

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

two of each is about right, 020, 36 46 64 84 88 sounds about right to me

Depends how much work you do that warrantees a specific saw.

 

If your a forester only, you wouldnt want a top handled saw would you?

 

If you do no big trees in tree surgery as you may have just started out etc or you do no milling why have a saw bigger than a 441?

 

Depends how many people work for you/with you?

 

I wouldnt bother with a saw smaller than A 260/346 I know the frustation this causes.

Of course it's possible to have too many. If you have too leave one outside cos it won't fit in the workshop then you have one too many. Haha. If space and money ain't a problem then keep them.

well current list is:

 

020t

200t

260

044

390

023

017

 

 

i was thinking of getting shut of the 017 and 023, but its handy to have a cheaper saw for fence posts etc was not sure weather to keep the 390 or not as the 044 is leagues ahead, or just to keep as backup? or get some maintenance parts for the other saws etc and different size guide bars

I dont think thats too many at all mate, In fact i think you need another one, A BIG one

 

Oh and i agree, if your getting rid of any let the 390 go first.

weve got a 390 and 230 they are awful saws IMO

 

390 is to big for its lack of power Its a farmers saw

 

230 is a hobbby saw

 

Not slagging you off or any thing mate ive been through it with these saws and realy dont like them.

 

My opinioin though you may disagree.

Hey no worries, i know what your saying i just bought the 017 and the 390 and the 023 when i didn't have the knowledge etc about them, i got the 390 because i wanted a bigger saw but couldn't afford much at the time
