I generally run either a 50cc with a 20" bar, or a 70cc with a 28" bar. The only time I really prefer the smaller saw is when I'm packing it on my shoulder any distance, or I end doing a bunch of work much above waist hight. Other than that, I find the bigger saw/ bar is almost always more efficient and easyer on the back.
Thanks for the comparison David. Seems to be almost twice a quick, which make sense with almost twice the CC's. I guess its just a balance between weight and speed. Man if every log ended up in the air I could buck all day. Its bending over so much that gets my back sore. Cheers from Manson, WA.
Bigger saws are not faster unless the wood and the bar get bigger. Put 23rsp on the little guy and drop the rakers and it will smoke the 395 in that wood until you get aggressive on the chain on the 395, put a big rim on it…
Yeah, re: PPE, I had almost the exact same mishap as your young story, except I got a 2 inch scar now on my left leg. Very fortunate those little mishaps are not worse. Thanks for sharing your stories!
Dig your videos, I run echos, have a 40, 62 and a 73 cc saws. Different tools for different jobs. Also have a little battery one hander if I'm up a tree or on a ladder.
Thanks for another great video. I am on the lookout for a smaller saw for my uncle still, he likes the stihl 311 and I was just curious about your 550. I am like you I like bigger saws with longer bars. I also am not a big fan of wearing chaps and like you I have only knicked my pants once. I am not saying that it wont happen but it does get super hot with them on.Stay safe out there brother!
Have you noticed much difference between saws anti vibe performance? I’ve never thought much about it but now that I’m getting closer to 40 I’m thinking about wear and tear on the body.
All your comments are great but don’t tell my brother in law that. Almost cut his foot off last week. 8 weeks before he can even try to walk again and will always have to ware a brace

Congrats on scoring a MS440 - looking forward to seeing a vid of it running 👍👍
Thank you my friend much appreciated we wish you good health and happiness
I like that you keep things simple and make wood.
Some folks complicate things trying to reinvent the wheel
You do you David. I feel naked running the saws without chaps.
See you in about 1 more month😉👍
Yes sir we are excited!

That 50cc cuts very well. Thanks for the comparison.
Looks like a nice day to be out cutting. It’s a noticeable difference between the 2 but I’d say pound for pound the 550 did a heck of a job.
Hardwood kicks back more than softwood. I run my rakers lower in softwood than in hardwood.

David, the ONLY safety thing that I’m going to say is this: PLEASE don’t let those kids run a top handle saw. 😊
Never I don’t even own one
You probably been asked this before but what camera do you use?
love that chainsaw bro, awesome chain bar on it 👍🏽. Keep up the awesome niche.
Thanks brother take care
Those 550’s are great little saws.
I love it when that happens and the log is off the ground! Good stuff see ya next time!
Hey cuz I run a 550, good little saw, lots of pep for its size, good for anyone with limitations in the back!
They are good little saws
These big saws are so much faster that it makes cutting wood fun, and you get a lot of wood done quicker
Stopping by to say hi. Hope all is well with you guys 👍
Hello Robert hope all is well
Im moving to a place with a wood stove and only a kereosene heater is the only other heat. Need to get me a good saw
261cm
Love your vids
Thank you my friend

Learn by your mistakes... as long as it doesn't cost you your life. Then it doesn't matter.
🎉
I’m glad to be back out cutting firewood missed it 👌🏽 out of cutting shape lol
I feel it haha 😂

The husky’s have less than stihl I do know that and the new 5 series husky’s are super smooth
Well good luck in your venture. I'm not in the watching videos of people cutting firewood. I do that for a living.. That's it i'm done.
Thanks for watching have a good one
…so why are you here running your mouth then? 😆
All your comments are great but don’t tell my brother in law that. Almost cut his foot off last week. 8 weeks before he can even try to walk again and will always have to ware a brace
Ouch that’s no fun how did he do that?
Grubbing out a stump and was trying to cut off the roots then slipped
@@user-jg4jg2jd1z I am sorry to hear this we will keep him in our prayers
YOU TALK TOO MUCH WHO CARES WHAT YOU SAY?
