just do not expect too much from it, its new and a better saw in so many ways then your old saw, but it is not designed to be flogged with a 20" bar running 3/8 all day in hard wood,
if you can get cheque out of them use some your own cash as well and get a bigger saw, (if you are only going to have one saw)

thanks for the info, i still have my baby 026 av for the small stuff
not sure what bar or chain to run on these new saws, havent bort one for about 27yrs so its all new to me
my old one ran the 3/8 chain, but will go by what you guys advise

what chain's on the 026?

 

[peter92]

ok IMHO seeing that you have an 026 with 18" and 16" with .325 and 3/8 I would really look at a bigger saw then the 261,
somthing like the 362 with 20" and 3/8

 

[peter92]

thanks for the advise and will try for something bigger, i will check out the 362
regards peter

the Yanks were saying the other day on one thread that there is fake 660's out there? they had a link to one on craigslist,
and I see them ms380's on ebay from malaysia too

Did it look like a 660 though mate? I've seen them before but they've always been tarted up 038's and would only fool a schoolkid.

one more thing, my old one had a 20'' bar with 3/8 chain. can i put the 20'' on the 261
regards peter

Yep

Yes definately allowing for the fact you already have an 026 I would definately go for an MS362.

It was a professionally built saw but back when it was made it would have been in the same class as the current Farm Boss.

 

[peter92]

hi guys, well rang my local stihl dealer and he said replacement saw he would do is a ms 362 20'' b& 3/8 chain
$1500.00 so now when the insurance company rings me thats what i will tell them

Looking for a little maintenance advice, over the weekend I had to do some cutting in a bloody cold river, some of the logs we partially under water, which meant the bar went under too, spraying water everywhere etc etc, cutting was a success. Anything in particular I need to do to make sure the saw is not going to have any long term issues ? Rust? I pulled the clutch cover, cleaned out all the wet chips, ran it without the cover, bolted all back together, wiped it down and ran it some more.

Just to be safe, I would remove the clutch drum and blow out/dry the clutch, etc. Then spray it with some like WD40 or CRC. The bar and chain should be alright if it was oil properly but some extra lube wouldn't hurt... oh and don't forget the sprocket on your bar to as it was under water.

 

[peter92]

just wondering
a ms 362 bort in us and shipped to australia, how much
