Yup, I like the huskys too. Love the high rpms, and I just think they look better as dumb as that may sound. Lol
Great balance with the 18",easy on fuel,runs like a dream!!Hows that thing run lowhog?
both saws stock the 261cm has 4hp I think the 260 is 3.2 or 3.5hpAwesome! How much better is it than the 260pro?
My favorite of all time for years was a ms440 for bucking oak with a 20".The balance was so great on that saw it felt lighter to me than a ms360 with a 20". Buy what's balanced best in one hand.10-4, Good info bud. I'm not really a brand whore, I just like what works best. I do know that the 362cm is a bad unit...i ran one and was impressed! I haven't ran the husky equivalent thought.
I have a 2016 mtronic 261. I feel a husqvarna 350 with a muffler mod has more power. The MS261 is the same physical size as my 357xp..I have never ran a 261, but a good friend has a 260 pro. My 2013 545 walks all over it, BAD. It is just muff modded. I have an 18" and a 20" bar for it. It pulls both fine in oak, but it mostly wears the 18". I'm sure it would be just fine wearing a 20" in pine.
That's one of the reasons I never got a 261. Have three 357s' and they are stronger stock than a ported 50cc saw.The MS261 is the same physical size as my 357xp..
