ms192T Pros: Great climbing saw when you understand it's limits, lighter than 200T Cons: Not as strong as the 200T

ms211 Pros: A new saw for me, so I am still in discovery mode, but I really like it for it's size. Cons: Nothing bad to report yet.

ms361: Pros: My Big Dog. I run a 20" RSC chain and it's strong. I can run the 25" (24") bar as well, although need to keep RPMs up. Cons: Toughest 2 cycle tool to start, but has been better since some L & LA tweaks.

Next Saw: A really strong 70cc (maybe a ms441) or 80cc (maybe a 7900) saw to comfortably pull a 28" bar.

What kind on mods can or needs to be done to both to make performance better. Both do good. and can you tell what yr a saw is. Where can I find a muffler for the 038 without paying $75 from the dealer. Ive welded mine back a couple times.. I understand that there are 3 sizes of pistons and mine is 50.:chainsawguy::blob2:

Muff mod the 310. You can check the 038 but I believe it is breathing good in stock form.
