MS261 CM and a MS 150CIf it were like an heirloom, a quality piece, I wouldn't mind paying for it. Do you have any model numbers in mind?

Yeah , 261-cm a high compression 50 cc saw with 4 hp and 18" bar would be capable to do this work a few times a yr . 20 " bar not so much in big hardwood . The 150-C only for limbing and arborist work . Nice saws though , I ran a MS-260 for 5 yrs cutting 12"- 18" Maple & Birch , great bucking & limbing saw for small , medium hardwood .MS261 CM and a MS 150C

I see it is a Husky but what is the model number?You need one like this.View attachment 818165View attachment 818166View attachment 818167 I am becoming like @chipper1 , I need a time out.
What is a "vibe system"?2
Yep @ 60 + cc they have good midrange torgue , that will pull a 24" bar effortlessly with 3 way oiler adjustment. , fuel primer / purgebulb & decompression switch for easy starting . The reliability of the old 55 & 455 with even better overall performance & a/vibe system .
We just had a tornado hit and saws and generators are being snapped up like hotcakes so it will be a while before the market settles back out.There is a 036 forsale on the Trading Post for 300 + shipping. It may have elasto start, can’t tell for sure. No decompression valve. There is a new Dolmar 6100 for sale on Iowa craigs list for 500/20 “ bar. Most of the Stihl 044 in my neighborhood start around 500. A used 036 can run a 24” bar and you would have money left over for a light limber. I burned 6 chords a year for 15 years with a 42 cc Stihl 028 and I took down some big ones but not many in the 36” diameter. Got a echo 360 T for 100$ off Craig’s list, my favorite limber, and now I have a nice 036, and a 028 super for less than 2 bills. Keep your eyes on the Craig’s list, local shopper mags, maybe even garage sales when it warms up if the coved 19 subsides a bit. I’m a bit on the older side myself and I don’t much care for a heavy saw. Don’t mind the 036 for bucking but I wouldn’t want to lug it around the woods with a 24 on it all day. Good luck with your search
372.I see it is a Husky but what is the model number?
Actually "anti vibration " Isolates the saw from the operator . Reduces or eliminates the vibration to your hands via springs or rubber isolation mechaniziums !What is a "vibe system"?
He wants 500. It is my understanding that it's discontinued. Is the company defunct? My concern is the availability of parts.Great saw not to far from you and it does a great job with a 24.
https://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/for-sale-2166r.342083/I don't consider it light, but it's around the same weight as most saws in the 70cc range.
The downside for you is that it's based on the husky, which you stated earlier is a direction you didn't want to go.
That being said I'd think even a husky.jred would be okay for a couple times a year lol.
There are a lot of the jreds in the market as many were produced. Many of the major components are the same as the 2172/365/372 Xtorque saws and some of components from the earlier 365/372 and the 2165/2172 will fit, mainly all the parts that I would consider consumables.He wants 500.

I would not be concerned either. Husqvarna 372XT parts are available for that saw should anything go wrong. Great long lasting saw to start with. For perspective I am 66 years old and for cutting 36" trees I would want a 2 saw plan. 50cc saw for limbs and 18" and under. 70cc saw with 24" for those 18-36" trees, keep sharp chains and let saw do the work. But in the end buy brand and size you believe will suit you best. Be safe and wear PPE, unlike guys that cut in pajama pants and flip-flops.He wants 500.

That's just for cookie cutting, and I don't wear flip flops btw.Be safe and wear PPE, unlike guys that cut in pajama pants and flip-flops.
Why do you think I was talking about you?That's just for cookie cutting, and I don't wear flip flops btw.
