I've read all the threads I could find and watched a bunch of videos. I'm looking for the lightest saw that could run a 20" bar and 3/8 chain with authority. I have a lightly used 026 that I would prefer to run after a woods port/muffler mod, but my gut feeling tells me that's still not enough saw. I'm hoping the worst case scenario would be a woods ported 4 HP MS260, but I'm not sure how to tell the 3.5 HP version from the 4.0. The videos I saw with the 260 were not really impressive. The 261 series is lookin mighty good, but I hope to avoid that extra weight.
Will I be OK with a woods tuned 026 with an MS260 air filter and muffler mod, or should I be looking at a good 4 HP MS260? Or will a 4 HP 260 still be not enough saw? Also, how do you tell the 4 HP 260s from the 3.5 HP variants?
Thanks in advance.
