Which Chainsaw do you use?

[RichieR]

Husky so 540 550 560 and I suppose it's the 540 and 550 that get the most work. My favourite ppe got to be my Meindls

[TheHungrySquirrel]

550 for my saw

All ppe is required but my meindl boots are my best bit.

 

Axe wise for carving gransfors carving and wildlife and hans karlsson, forest work hultafors forest axe and a fiskars for splitting.

[Dog Tag]

sharp saw, and a maul for splitting.

[TreeswingerPerth]

Husky 560xp 15" / 18" gets most use , Protos helmet ( love it ) , Fiskars Axe X27 .

[Timbermcpherson]

echo's 260t and 350t, ms200t, 346xp, 361, 440, 660 are currently in the truck and well used. 88's and 3120's if it gets bigger

[Shane]

Groundwork - Husky 353 and Stihl 260. Boots, helmets and trousies essential, rarely gloves.

 

Just use a small sharp 'cheapie' hand axe for cutting/knoocking ivy and cleaning stumps for sawing prior to grinding.

 

Usual other saws for climbing/but slicing (MS200, 044, Hus 365 and 3120)

[treesrus]

husky 353 for general work and felling, echo top handled in the tree.

i have several axes of unknown make.

[TORNADOS7]

My Stihl 011/14" bar but it's dropped its reed valve and wrecked the barrel and piston I've got a Makita EA3201s/14" bar (good saw, shite chain tensioner system) and a Husky 141/15" bar (fair saw, shite plastic clutch cover) but also have access to a Husky 136/15" bar a 435/15" bar and a Stihl 231/16" bar so enough for me to be getting along with for now although one more is still never enough !...

Obviously, we are a company. We want to learn more about Chainsaw owners, what they value and what sorts of tools and kit you use on a daily basis and why.

 

1) which Chainsaw do you use? (most if you have more than 1)

 

2) What item of PPE could you totally not do without?

 

3) Which axes do you favour?

 

 

Thanks.

 

When im not using my T540, my 550 XPG is the first one i'll grab, i use a 576 for anything larger, and then i'll generally try and keep my 590 for cross cutting. Next saw's i'll buy a 560 & 3120. All Husq, blowers a Sthil.
