Best 50 and 60cc saws

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

You're all wrong!!!

 

The best production 50cc saw is the Dolmar PS5105.

 

(because it's lighter, faster, torquier and a hell of a lot cheaper than the Stihl MS261 or Husq 346xp)

 

The best production 60cc saw is the Echo CS-600.

 

(laugh as much as you like; it's mega light, proving v tough, cheap, fast, smooth and freakin' well balanced).

 

The Stihl MS361 was the best 60cc er and the Husq 560xp has the potential to be. The Roi et mort, Vive le Roi!

ahh i got ya... the 357xp is more of a comparison to the 361...

 

No it aint, it's squarely opposite the MS341.

262xp only they don't make it anymore!

 

262 - old school, but they were hard to beat. I had about 5 of them over the years untill the 371 can in.

Not definietly the ones I've used!!! I didn't even think the 361 was but mine ran flawless untill it had a large ash top felled on it, never the same again!!

346 is king of the 50 cc IMO, using mine today I wished I had brought one years ago so fast snedding!! Useless as a ringing up saw but that's not what's it is designed for.

 

Why do you say the 346XP is useless at ringing up. I'm looking for a really decent "all rounder" (landscaper, I don't use saws full-time). I'm looking at the 346XP or Husq 365. I know they are in different classes but both are fairly highly regarded.

Did you get the exhaust sorted on the CS-600?

the 346xp is fine for ringing up mate.. i have a full chizel chain on mine and it throws out lumps of 4 x 2

365 and 346 are completely different saws, the 365 is a damn good ringing up saw, it has the torque to pull through larger wood all day. The 346 is a speedy little devil but only 50cc and does not IMO quite have the guts for sticking in a log pile. It absolutely spot on for felling small trees and snedding and cutting to length all day as it's light well balanced and zippy.... Unless your working in the woods all day with smaller timber and just want a good ,cheap all rounder the 365 would be a great choice
