what size saw is "big"?

[jrose]

Hi everyone,

 

probably a stupid question, but I was reading a thread on here about pricing for freelance climbers and it said you charge more for providing a big saw (can't find the thread at the moment!)

 

out of interest, at what size do saws stop becoming everyday use and get classed as big? 70cc? 90+cc? Or is it just the VERY biggest - 880, 3120 etc...?

 

cheers,

Joe

depends what your doing, if your knocking over old growth redwoods all day then your 088 is your everyday use saw

 

haha

 

we use 361's and 440's everyday, we know people who use 460's all day, so above that is what i class as a big saw, so 660 +

Big saws are over rated, you'd be surprised what you can fell with a little patients. This was done with a Husky 357 with 18 incher, was quite rotten in the middle and had a winch on it but it hit the deck either way

 

Yes Way

There is only one big saw (Stihl 090), the rest are just everyday saws:thumbup:
