FWIW if weight is an issue try a 2XX (262/266 series husky, pref one that's ported or a solid runner, it will be much lighter and better handling then saw a 372/440/etc.) if you wanted you could run a 24" lightweight bar or just tear things up with a 20"... Don't trade just to get stuck in the same situation with a "newer" saw....

Somewhat agree, except a 262 is small mount.

Just finished that conversion 266 to 272 last night and with a 20" bar and a little grinding is a solid, lighter little saw.

Right on.

Yes, the 2xx saws seem to be pretty consistent in the power to weight aspect. A low hour 61 would also be neat, as it can be converted to a 272.
I kno muh 261 is a screamer: but that's a 50cc saw, Cousin. [emoji13][emoji13][emoji13][emoji13][emoji13]
