Here are my saws and their weights : Stihl O26 16 lbs. -- Dolmar Stone Cutter 30 lbs. -- Dolmar PS 510 17 lbs. -- Dolmar PS 6000 i 21 lbs. --McCulloch 21 lbs. -- Remington 8 inch 7 lbs. --14 inch 7 lbs. So; "Why all the saws?"
I wanted my first saw to be a Stihl O24, a "smaller" type saw that I would use as my "Climbing Saw" , the one you take up into the tree --- but Steve Stewart, the owner of the Shop, convinced me to get the O26 because it was stronger [more Horsepower] {Power to Weight Ratio} than the O24, for ALMOST the same price -----------> that's what I bought and I never regretted it .
The PROBLEM with having just ONE saw is that if it gets "bound up", caught, as it were, by a VISE gripping log, you can't just yank it out, you gotta either jack it loose or use a "come-along" to free it, whereas with a second saw you can just cut it out . But with THAT comes EXPENSE . The Plan was for a 2 saw Operation with the second saw of MUCH greater bar length--- but THAT required another 3 or for 'bills' --- nothing I had at that time . SOLUTION ? Don't get that fucking saw STUCK !
