What was your first chain saw

[Chris Sheppard]

A used, but fairly new, Jonsered 2163 that I somehow blagged for £150. kept it for about 5 years and stuck it on ebay and got a fair bit more than I paid for it

 

Was a good solid saw.

Stihl 009 - running and in fine condition:thumbup:

[WoodED]

i was given a mac 335 years ago. it was messing me about a few years ago so i bought the 346xpg,,,

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

sthil 036av farm wood boss.. still going strong!

 

And another; a 1999 036 with 16" bar from Radmore & Tucker in Exeter; price after discount was £465. Still going strong altho I have retired it and run the CS-600 echo as my 60cc er since.

 

That was the first saw I bought; the first I ever used was either a 242xp or a Sachs Dolmar 113. The 242s were fast but the dolmars were gutsy and sweet.

Mine was a new Stihl 010AV, it felt so light and quick compared to the old saws that the farm had.

 

I can still remember the pleasure of my first own saw:001_cool:

[ben lightfoot]

Mine was a husqvarna 141 cheap, light and did me proud

[SiW]

Mine was a stihl 020av, back when stihl made top handled saws to last

[RobRainford]

Stihl ms260 in 2007. Still got it!

[Mark Cattell]

Mine was a MAKITA DCS SERIES with an 18" bar had it 14 years ago, i cane in a big red metal box and leaked chain oil from day 1 but never let me down, and great ground-saw with plenty of torque.. It was stolen in the end but be she's still running just had that indestructible feel to her...

Danarm 55 back in 1977 and a Homelite XL super later that year, both secondhand, noisy but pretty good in there day.
