Ported 261c and a ported 461.
My favorite two saw setup??
Well, it's actually a one saw setup with two guide bars of different lengths.
Still, I sometimes miss one of the saws I had back-in-the-day. It was a little, green, top-handled, plastic case Poulan I bought at the hardware store for something like $79.00... maybe $89.00. It came with a 18 inch bar, I swapped that out for a 10 inch... might have been a 12 inch. (Lordy, my memory gets worse every year) It had no chain brake, no anti-vib, just a cheap plastic hand guard mounted on the front handlebar (which broke off at some point). That thing was compact, weighed next to nothing, started easy, ran relatively quite, and seemed to run forever on a tablespoon of fuel... and was just flat damn handy for tree trimming, cleanup around the yard, and other light-duty tasks. I used to go over east Iowa every spring to turkey hunt, camped for 5 days... that little saw was absolutely perfect for keeping the campfire fed.
About 8-10 years ago, in a fit of beer-enhanced passion, kickin' dirt clods in the driveway, I accepted a $100.00 bill and a handshake in trade for it... and I've missed it ever since. I've looked at the new top-handled saws... they're bulky and flat weigh too damn much (and, for what I'd use it for, damn expensive also). If I still had that little stripped-down, El-cheapo Poulan, I might even cut up the little stuff for firewood like zogger does

372 and 266 huskys and got a 056 stihl for the big ones. my buddy brings his echo 750 evlI'd be interested to know that as well, my current setup is husky 435 and 372xp x-torq, well suited for my firewood scrounging needs, if funds were unlimited I'd be sawing with 550xp and 576xp

Mine was one of the smaller (and lighter) ones zogger , I believe it was called the Woodsman 2000.
I've looked around ebay a couple of times for one... they always say "for parts only" or "not running" or some such.
Heck, can you even get parts for 'em and make 'em run again??
From what I've read... if the oiler quits, your flat screwed‼

The two saws I carry with me every where I go, a stihl 361 with 20" bar and a stihl 361 with a 20" bar. Sound stupid with all the saws I own but this is my favorite combo. I have a spare 361 incase something happens to my 361.
