Which saws do you prefer in the woods??

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

I prefer an inboard clutch, much easier to fit a bar and chain, change sprocket and work on. Don't spout anything about balance, they like to roll onto the side with outboard saws

 

Beat me to it.

 

Troll thinks power to weight is the only prerequisite for a superior saw lol

 

Hey Troll! - RELIABILITY

I have a 560, it's been pretty reliable so far, I just wish it had an inboard clutch, but that's why I got a 362xp

For me , as its what I have ! , 346 ported by spud 8 pin 15" and or 560 breathed on by petemate 8 pin 18" .

Quicker snedding.

Quicker snedding.

 

 

So why is everyone in the world logging championships using inboard clutch saws?

fast bar/changes?

 

I reckon for snedding, nothing can touch a 242 for handling.

550 isn't lagging that far behind.

Agreed, but it's still not quite there yet. Obliterates the 242 on torque though

Lots of people slate the stihl 261, but I am on my third and find the reliability of the thing amazing. Not one problem, not one break down at all, other than the usuall plugs sprockets etc. They even kept going long after I would have expected to have to retire them. Had my current one 4 months and even find the auto tune thing reliable as I had my doubts.
