The husky 266 has got to be up there

Godda have a second punt and godda say 254 again . When it was in its heyday it was the boss on a 13"-15" in the woods . There are others now , I have a 560 but 254 was king for such a long time ....

My 1st saw, 034, its cooked real good.

Ohh it's a hard one, I have a 346xp and a 576xp and they are both good saws, but then work bought us all a new 560xp each to replace our ms361s with and it is a fantastic saw, cutting chestnut the other day was like a hot nife through butter. It's like it's fueled by red bull or something, So my vote is the 560xp

For sales worldwide the poulan wildthing has outsold anything you can name

 

The 076 and 090 can still be found turning massive trees into timber in rainforests all over the world, have been for more decades than most of us have been alive, and yes in places they are still available new

 

242xp and 262xp gave the best power to weight ratios to the modern day, simply awesome and only stopped due to some enviroment considerations.

 

my vote goes for the 1927 model A dolmar. First real one

I feel such a newbie reading you all waxing lyrical about saws I've never had the privilege to handle in anger!

 

But I still love my 576XP. Had it 18 months now, and currently working our way through some 18-24" diameter ash. It was born for the job...

,242 was a whizzer:thumbup:

 

Can't disagree with that - I was going to put 242 down as number 1 the only thing that comes close to it now is the 550 and it's still not quite the same, though the extra power makes up for it.

 

But, if I could only have one saw to do everything then it would be a 372.
