Went by the GF's farm today,had to cut up a small hedge tree from storm damage. I grabbed the 66, kind of overkill, time for a little limbin saw. Might have to go check out the mighty 361.

Had a cowman one time tell me, that if I ever thought about getting in sheep
that the best thing to do, was to just take a nap until the thought passed. :hmm3grin2orange:

That 660 looks brand new but your chain looks like it is pulling a bit to the right. What kind of sheep are in your flock? Look a bit like a Jacobs cross. Guard Llamas are a great addition to any herd. Do you have a lot of problems with predators in your area?

Just get a 16" bar to throw on the 066 for when ya get the smaller stuff...cheaper than buying another saw:D:greenchainsaw:

A smaller saw is probably in order, but I do agree with you in that we sometimes forget the weight of the bar. An 066 with a 28" bar is A LOT heavier than a 361 with an 18" bar. Put an 18" bar on an 066, and there really ain't that much difference.

Just being Captain Obvious here.

If I had an 066 and wanted a smaller saw - I would probably go a bit smaller than the 361 and get a 260. They are nice and nimble and cut very well until the wood is 8-10" - unless you cut a lot of big wood you might end up cutting with it more than the 066.
