[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1387679, member: 498"] I haven't kept up with saw models lately. I have a Stihl 290 with a 20 inch bar. I would want more saw than that for wood that size. I have a Stihl 066 that has a 36 inch bar on it and will run a 42 inch bar. You don't need that much saw. But it is nice because it will zip through wood that size. For wood that size I would want a 044. I think the new model in that size is 440 but not sure on that. I would want a saw that can very comfortably run a 24 or 28 inch bar. I would want 3/8 full skip chisel bit chain. Several years ago the boss has back surgery and couldn't get winter wood cut. So a 5 or 6 of us got together to cut wood on a weekend. We had access to a pile of doug fir logs about 12 inches on the butt end and a one ton truck with a dump. I was a few minutes late getting there and a couple guy had their little saws out buzzing. I pulled out that 066 and started cutting. With that big saw on that size wood it is just zip, side step, zip, side step, zip...... Probably less than two seconds per cut. They put their little saws away. That truck held 3 cords. I cut it as fast as 4 or 5 guy could load it and the truck was backed right up to the pile. [/QUOTE]
