Again, I can not say enough how angry 261 CM's get with just a little bit of a tickle, let alone full on molestation.
MS 241?

Dirty wood. But even saying that, physics isn't on your side of the argument. The 325 cutter teeth are larger, and there are more of them per bar length VS LOPRO. It simply will just last longer.

Yes you can Brian.
I feel the same way.
The 550XP is the perfect limbing saw. It's weight, handling, power, etc.......it's just perfect for what it's made for.
The MS261C is also perfect for what it was designed for.......a one saw plan saw. It's not a great limbing (snedding) saw.......but the power it makes allows it to be used to drop a fair sized tree, limb it, and buck it up.
When I use the 550 in wood over 12", I wanna grab a bigger saw.......but I've used the MS261 with a 20" bar buried, and not felt underpowered.

I hate all chain.
It slows down the saws.
Can't we all run cutterless chain to keep the R's up?

Remember though Randy it made 7.0 at 10500 with the 460 coil and 7.2hp with the unlimited 660 coil that it wears now. I think that graph is on FHC
He wants a Stihl. lol He is under the impression Huskys are all plastic junk like the homeowner ones he has.

I love that saw.
It took me doing a few to get my port timing numbers nailed down. I like I've got em where I want them now.

Here it is
I can give you my opinion, .325 sucks eggs, PS or PM picco mounted backwards will still cut faster then .325, but only on the 241,,,
We work complete opposites of the spectrum. So we'll be using different machines much of the time. I have a lot of large wood to process for firewood and occasionally furniture. Then there's the forestry side of things. Picco is about as much use to me as listening to Niko sit by the fire ******** about Stihl's. If you are topping trees or working arborist work, picco is what you live on.
Will lo pro work on a spur sprocket set up for 325? If so, I can do a comparo shortly. Getting new picco(for the 171, or uh maybe its a 181, I forget) and new 325 for the 241.
