Thread: show us your chainsaws

Bought a Jonsered 2055w, running a 20” bar, thirty years ago on the advice and help of mate mine who was a forestry manager and instructor back in the day. For power to weight ratio, nothing in its class back then. Never regretted it and has given, and will continue to do so, sterling performance and reliability for years ahead (much like the second wife I acquired at about the same time)

I am, however, now running into timber that’s a tad too big for the wee girl so contemplating something just a bit bigger. Also, have a mechanical log splitter which means I’m a little less picky about the wood I’m cutting up. Something that’ll run a 24-26” bar comfortably but not be a major handful. It won’t get a major amount of use per year so a good secondhand unit would be the go.

Having just reread this entire thread, there seems to be a few saws that would suit me but would appreciate maybe a shortlist to keep an eye out for. Cheers all.
