Who is Mastermind? What kind of work does he do? Where is he located? You got me curios now...

Mastermind is Randy. He's a few hours away in Tn. He mods these saws all the time.

Impressive! That looks like some hard ass wood! What is that?? I'm ready to mod my saw now... I just want the "reliability" package... Is yours a pop up?

A 261 doesn't need a popup. They make great compression without it. Here's one of mine with a 20" B&C.

I'm done buying for a while. Might mod my 441. I'd like to see what she is capable of.The 261 will see some after the warranty. It really runs awesome as is!

pretty good saw

I still haven't started my 039 one time since getting my 261 last fall. I keep thinking I'll need it on some heavier stuff, but so far have not needed it. The 261 is fine with an 18" bar and screams with a 16", which is what I ran on it for a couple hours Saturday. I'm having to climb around a wood pile and the lighter saw and shorter bar are ideal for that.

The reduced fuel consumption is nice too. I finally tried to clean my air filter Saturday after maybe 10 hours of use, and all it had on it was a little dust.

Enjoy your saw.

I expect something that will remind you of a stock MS440:biggrin:
