Makita, DCS 330 TH - The air filter design/setup was horrible (which is why I got rid of mine pronto)... After only a few cuts, you could pull the air filter, and find bits of saw dust that were already working their way under the filter and directly on their way to the carb! :chainsaw:

Are you joking? They run a 25" as good, if not better than a 361. While you wouldn't be able to lean on it much, they run a 24" fine.

I have two friends who bought them for strictly firewood and will admit that they pull a 20" ok. I've ran both of these saws with 25" bars, one in oak which was a joke and the other in a kentucky coffe bean which is equal to your run of the mill maple and I could almost count the drive links they pulled so slow. I don't know that I have ever been as disapointed in a 60cc saw as I was using them. No comparrison to a 359 or a 361, I think the hp is way over inflated in this model. Sorry to offend those who own them.
