what is your favorite saw setup? type size bar length chain specs and WHY YOU LIKE IT/WHAT YOU FIND ITS BEST FOR?

im still breaking in the new 661, find the 36" bar to be safest but the 25" to be most versitile/fastest

I'm sure you just threw that 36" on the 260 just to say you did it. You really don't run it setup like that. No way can that saw even oil it

Ms170 with 14" supatuff fast cutty cutty bar, vangaurd chain, and fixed plastic felling dawg. Can't find a 10pin spur for it yet but when l do it will be ready for the timbersports. l stabbed the muffler a few times with a scrench to increase performance to an unforseen level, the fixed jet carb can hardly keep up now.:baba:
