[QUOTE="Dave, post: 272652, member: 498"] I have used every brand mentioned here at one time or another. In 20 years of falling timber full time I am sure that I have worn out or destroyed as many saws as anyone else. For easy of use, balance, dependability, lack of vibration, and power I believe that the best all around saw on the market is Stihl. Now having said that I have never owned a saw with a bar shorter than 28 inches. There may be something in the smaller saws that is better built but I don't know what it is. Try humping an 090 Stilh with a 60 inch bar up and down the hills all day. I guarantee that will make a man out of you. I don't care what brand you use they all beat a cross cut. And the best saw is only as good as the chain you are running. A good saw with a fine tuned chain is something to behold. The same saw with a dull chain is next to worthless. I just had an interesting memory. I remembered watching two faller get into a fist fight in a bar in Ketchikan, AK over which saw was better, Stihl or Mac. They really liked their saws. I don't think the fight changed either one of their minds. Dave [/QUOTE]
