So about this time last year I had a post going on about my father in laws ms361 he bought brand new and a few years latter roasted. One day I took it while he was asleep and "fixed" it for him. By fixed I mean big bore and muffler mod and then retuned to run right. After that a loop of yellow stihl chain found its way on there to. Well I used it for a while "testing" it and then decided that I just couldn't let him run it as it was not safe for him, he has a bad hand. Well this year he asked about it and I told him it probably wasnt safe for him and that I would buy it from him or buy him a saw to replace it. His choice for a replacement saw..... Jones red 2238 from tractor supply. So that's what he got and I got this monster I built. Just as a test his son and I started cutting a 20" oak log up for wood, the stihl out ran the Jones red 2255 4 full cuts to 1. Oh I can't tell you how happy I am. So I'd say it was the best trade I've ever done.
