261cxb from TN
Pros -
Power of a 60cc
Will pull 18" 3/8 .063 in hard hardwood
Build and durability
Perfect double dogs - 361 kit
m-tronic
Stihl bars/chains
The most effective air filtration available
A proper chain tensioner
Inboard clutch
Parts availability
Made in america (?)
Decent fastenings that fasten
Will not fall out of the truck on its own
Cons -
It weighs slightly more than a similar saw (empty)
Costs slightly more than a similar saw
Apparently has bad handling but I've never noticed it, actually prefer it to others
The owners of 261cms love them, the owners of MastermindWorkSaws ported 261cxbs rave over them
I'm taking my time and finding one set of professional work saws that fit/suit me perfectly and the 261cxb is on that list.
It is that good a tool

The Echo CS-590 is $400.00 new, and it's a really well built saw.
Some of the posts in this thread make me chuckle. It's not the size of the saw, but the hands behind it.
Most of my firewood is cut with saws 50cc or less these days. Any of the pro 50cc saws will get the job done and then some.

I have a 450 heading my way If it is savable it will get some special attention just like that 360.

Trying them all
I would only buy a new saw if I "had" to. Not anything out there that I'm interested in. I'm happy with what I have...

Thank you, But I have to lean hard to the stihl, because that is what my dealer is. But where could one buy an echo like that?
