Dropped this dead maple today. It was right next to one of my 4wheeler trails. It was a great tree to try out my new 440 on. LOVE that saw! Here is the 440 on the stump, it has a 20" bar, stump was 28". I know my hinge sucks, I don't often drop trees that much bigger then my bar. And...

I'm just curious how many guys have had their ms261 ported and how they like them so far. I'm about to send mine off and am doing some 'research'. I have contacted a couple of the modders on here via pm(thank you guys!) for pricing/info. I'm looking to make mine as strong as possible while...

Gnarly old maple. Good news is that dropping it where its leaning will be fine. I've cut my share of wood but never a "culvert". Normal face cut? Bore cut it back to a holding strap? Wrap a chain around it to keep it together? I have several of these on my property and want to cut em down...

Need moral support! I've researched and researched forever. I'm wanting to get a new 261w/ a 18" bar and have it ported to be my main saw. I will also get a used 440 or maybe a 372 witha 20"-24" bar later to be my 'big' saw for the occasional big tree and all noodling duties. Long...

I read this site like its my job. Love the info and reviews. I'm trying to wrap my head around just how much porting(woods) can do. Heres my thoughts- I actually favor my little 'ol 350 over my 361s for most of my cutting. I do around 12ish cord a year and split by hand. Big stuff for me is...

My saws have limiters removed and tuned by a buddy who used to work at a saw shop. Local gas station now has ethanol free premium that I've started using along with stihl syn oil. Would this negatively my saws? After taking the summer off I got back at it today, dropped a few nice maples. Man I...

Long story short, I came by a brand new 350 this fall for free. It is the later model, 45 written under the cover. I love the feel of this saw and use it alot, saving the 361 for the big felling and bucking. Would a woods port make this saw really rip? Is a 346xp worth the additional money...

Sorry, ANOTHER muffler mod question thread. I've dug through hundreds of posts on the subject and I think I really want to mod the muffler on my 361 but I am pretty much a hack job mechanicaly. Is there anyone on here that I can mail my muffler to and pay them to put a pipe or two out the...

Sold my 6 month old ms290 yesterday after it spent a whopping 14 hours on craigslist. I got $275 as its pretty much new still, 15 or so tanks through it. Guy drove 1.5 hours to my house and didn't even want to start it or cut with it, he was pumped. I shoulda asked for $300!:bang: Now the...

Anyone running this setup? I just feel that 20" is longer than I need for 80% of my wood.
