It's time to expand my chainsaw arsenal :msp_thumbsup: I have a stihl 361C but that's not enough lol. I'm positive a 660 will make my list but I'm not sure beyond that. Some prior knowledge on husqy's and j-red's is what I'm after. 3 very respectable saws I would like to own.

Dont even consider a 660, get a 395xp husky. Trust me on this one:msp_smile: Also a ms261 is a great saw to have.

I dont own one but a ported 372 xpw is way up there. A ported 261 should be there also.

Like it! Nice old school, mostly. All but one of my Stihls have the 0 in front (except for my ported MS660). Why the 361 instead of the 036? Saw all those zeros and wondered.
I actually like the 026 over the 028, unless we're talking 028 Super.
And where's your 100+cc offering? Plenty of great possibilities from Stihl, Husqvarna and Jonsered. And, well, if you want to get REAL old school, Homelite and Mac and a few others!
