MS261, MS441, 395XP, all ported by the chimp with the 1911.:msp_thumbup:
That's close to my saws as well except mine are 261 v2, 7900, 395. But the 261v2 (monkeyed) is so good that i could probably survive without the 7900 but would have to beef up a bit if felling with the 395 all day.

My current 3-saw plan....
018 w/14" bar 3/8LP .050 semi chisel
MS260 w/18" .325, .063, Full Chisel
066 Mag. w/28" 3/8, .063 Full Chisel Full Comp.

I always take the 018 and 260 to the woods with me. I'll take the 066 too if I have some big stuff to cut (18" dia +). As soon as I finish installing seals in the 036 pro I'll have a 4-saw plan!!!! I have a 42" bar for the 66 too. 3/8, .063, Full Chisel, Full Skip. Still waiting for an opportunity to use it!

MS460 (new to me toy) .022" squish, smoothed ports, minor muffler mod now(more after broken in), 24" bar, 3/8 full comp, full chisel chain

That will cut any tree I will need to around here. Have a great day guys & gals!

A small spunky saw that runs 3/8 LP that I can use for cutting small stuff and gritty wood so I don’t wreck good chains.

A 550 or 346.

A larger saw that can pull a 28” bar as that’s more than sufficient for my neck of the woods. 372 on the low end up through Stihl 461/462, Dolmar 7900, 385/390.

I didn’t mention any of my 2100’s. You have no clue a 2100 with a 16” or 18” bar the damage it could do to ego’s. I sent so many so called wannabe partners packing. I never told then it’s a 100cc saw. I just laughed. One guy bought a new 480 cd from my buddy’s store. The other guy went to my buddy’s chainsaw unlimited and told him he needed a saw like I had I was taken all the wood. I felt like a field salesman for Husqvarna and my buddy’s store. Lol

Not really attached to brands or specific models, as long as they're pro level long term reliable and parts are available.

1. Light nimble limbing/light bucking, in the 40-50cc range, 16" or so bar. Maybe longer so I don't have to bend over so much.
2. Felling, bucking, noodling, 70-80cc's, 24-28" bar.
3. Small battery electric 12" top handle that can be one-handed.
