Not sure if this is trolling, but could be aggravating to some.
I am coming at the problem a little differently. I have a bunch of trees that need to come down, Colorado beetle kill. I have some money to put into tools in the form of saw stuff. So here is the question. Trees run from pecker poles to a full 25". My 440 and 660 are around for the occasional bigger tree.
What saw would you run to pull a 25" bar with full skip in soft wood? Saw needs to be reliable, durable, fastish and handy. No problem putting some machine work into a little saw to get better numbers. Saw has to be full or 3/4 wrapped or wrappable. Weight is somewhat of a concern.
I usually run a 25 on my 440 and don't mind the size, but the operator for this saw is smaller. The 361 is lighter but no one who cuts a bunch seems to have great things to say. I had 30 hours on one last week and wanted more power and beef.
Is the solution a woods ported 361? Can a person count on good life with hard use and maintenance? Is a stock 7900 the answer.
Thanks.
