What chainsaw for big firewood

[ash_smith123]

Yea i did think that! do you know anyone?! my idea was to buy something, cut the load up and sell it on hopefully not losing much!

Im just wondering what you guys use for cutting big firewood? got a husky with a 15" bar on it but need something 24-26" to cut some big stuff. Only need it for a few weeks so will only be buying it and selling it on!

 

When your ready to sell it Ash mate gimme a shout. Hope alls goin good fella:thumbup1:

 

Right saw for the job the dude depends on what for. Really Big Stuff like Oak, want Power so I Agree with the 660 - 880 (Stihl) .. But, If its not that Hard, Then a 440 - 450 series (Husqi) would do the job too.

You ever thought of the older muscle saws ie 2100 or 2101 they got grunt and will handle any bar you can get here. They old but tough as hell and you can pick em up easily enough .......well I think you can

365 or 372 or 390 would be my suggestion . Not keen on 576 as it weighs more than a 372 but makes the same power .

I sometimes find that my 660 with the 30" bar bogs down a bit in very hard wood,it is then best to put on the 25" bar. Also have an 18" bar but its then a bit of a handfull.

When its really cutting it whistles like its a turbo.
