I'm no expert but in general, the pro saws give you better performance, less weight and better anti-vibe. If you'll be doing much limbing, you may really like a longer bar. Less bending over.Nope, just been working and trying to read the great responses in the spare moments.
Ok, looks like it is certainly the 261 with a little debate about a 16" vs 18" bar but a 20" is 100% out. I will not be cutting anything very big at all. It is 55 acres and I want to clean up about 15 of it for an orchard, garden, cabin spot and the rest is going into a forestry program. The reason I bought this is because it hugely boarders and joins another 80 acres owned by my father.
I will be clearing up messes and various crop tree releases but I do not need a whopping saw. I am choosing the 261 because of better quality and lighter weight, not because I have a need for more HP. I will be cutting a lot of firewood from the waste to use/give away rather than let it rot.
The bulk of question was just to learn about how HP and displacement relate in these saws.
Thanks for all the great and generous responses!
