What size saw is everybody keeping in their trucks? I got a farmboss right now and I feel like it’s too big to keep in the truck on trips. Thanks in advance.

Exactly what I carry. Got a Husqvarna rancher 24in at home for big stuff it's been a bit of a pain. When I replace it it'll be with a larger Stihl. For a truck saw 16in bar is perfect.Stihl MS170. mtmuley
If we wouldn’t have had a chainsaw last year after those heavy snows came through CO in September we would have been starting our hike several miles before our intended spot.So is a chainsaw a prerequisite for being a road hunter? Asking for a friend.
I have the 16 inch Dewalt electric. It stays home and the MS 170 comes along. For what the electric saws cost, you can buy 3 MS 170's. They cut ok, but no way I trust one bouncing around in the truck all of hunting season. mtmuleyI've never carried a motorized saw but I'm thinking of getting a smallish electric saw to throw in the truck and use for various chores. What size are most people running?
I watched one of the new Stihl electrics at work this fall. I was impressed.If we wouldn’t have had a chainsaw last year after those heavy snows came through CO in September we would have been starting our hike several miles before our intended spot.
I’m thinking about switching to an electric chainsaw. The new batteries should last long enough for what I need to do and no gas spill or smell to worry about.
My Dewalt leaks some also. The battery saws just don't have the torque and power I like in a chainsaw. Nor the run time. If it wasn't for having to use a chainsaw indoors sometimes, I wouldn't even have it. mtmuleySomething to consider, my dad bought one of the battery powered stihls and even though it doesn’t need gas, it still requires bar and chain oil. And that leaks out when not in use. He took it to the dealer and was told that was normal.
This was the saw I was thinking aboutStihl MS170. mtmuley
Great saw. Keep the chain sharp and it will cut bigger stuff than you should use it for. mtmuleyThis was the saw I was thinking about
