Hi all
Recently upgraded from an ms251 with 18” bar to an ms261 with 20” bar. Huge step up to a professional saw that weighs the same but produces more power. I felt like the 20” bar was a little long and decided based on a bunch of searches here to buy a 16”. It’s been great but feels a little nose lite, wondering if I should now get an 18” to try out?
I realize opinions are all over the place and everyone has one. What do you think?
Also to add fuel to the fire, I temporarily had remorse that I should have bought a 362 instead of the 261 but after much more reading now I’m thinking maybe a 462 and 261 are the best path forward. Two saws!
