man, I enjoy all your vids, this one too. second, you r a better limber, bucker than I`ll ever be; don`t know about felling (LOLZ).
The saw is nice I give it that; maybe better than nice.
But the bar didn`t seem 20" though...I would have bet on 18"
is the 261 power head longer than 346XP

I love my 261 and since I got it I find little use for the 361.
I`ll keep the 361 tho coz its a great saw (I was just about to trade it for the 362 hihihi)
I have an 16" on my 261 and it is a beast

How do things look on a tear down?

That looks fast for a 261. A friend of mine has a 261. I'm sure you'll be getting his soon for a tune-up.

I dropped the remaining Locust trees in my front yard this afternoon. I saved the three biggest for the 261.

Wow!!! That saw is fast Brad. I think you just proved that a ms261 isnt slow, fat, ill handling , or any of the tags thats been attached to it! What more can anyone ask for?Great job on the video

That saw now resides in Australia. AFAIK, it was the first 261 sold in the US. It was the first one modded here as well.

Looks like a good cuttin little sucker! I cut alot of locust and I can tell that saws got some nuts. Looks about like my stock 361. I need me one of those.

The worst Locust to cut up are the hardened dead standing trees. I swear they're like cutting rocks. And they will throw sparks too. It's hard enough green, but the dry stuff is hell on chains.

A couple of weeks ago I cut a Locust around 15 in that had been dead standing for 5 or 6 years. one tank of gas and a brand new stihl chain was in bad shape. I know the hardness scale doesn't say so, but dead Locust is the hardest thing I have ever cut. harder then hedge apple, or hickory.
