I wonder if anyone from Norway seen what a 025 can do
It's kinda like apples and oranges :msp_biggrin:
My little 025 says "Made in USA" all over it. Of course, like everyone else, they do have a production facility in China

Both. I bought the 025 back in the 90's, the 2000 we've had for a few months, used mostly
for limbing. We do use a hydraulic splitter. The wood is mostly oak and hedge, with some
silver maple, mulberry, and walnut mixed in. The 025 has been more that adequate for what
we do. Sometimes the 18" bar requires a little imagination to accomplish the job. We heat
exclusively with wood.
Nice stacks with the little saws!!
If you like that 2000, keep your peepers open for an s25cva. Looks almost like the 2000, but is *loads* stronger. Just a little bigger, but not really noticable in your hand. I cut up a ton of oak last week with mine and only grudingly switched to my 3400 for the last few really large trunk cuts. Weighs almost the same as yours, has some basic antivibe to it and they just rip. They were the arborist climber pro saw back in the day. Pulls that 16" buried in oak. I use mine to mark the larger logs as well, just because it has that 16 on it, easy to lay it out, touch maker a little cut mark, move to the next one, then come back and buck with the larger saw. I had no idea about them until I joined this site, picked up a junker for ten bucks and got it running and zoobalicious! Best dang little saw evah, dollars per cutability.
Forgive me if this is a stupid question but how can a 50cc saw out run a 56cc saw? What is different about the engine on the 261 to make it better?
And how do you tell which of the Stihls are the pro models? Is it the models with 1 at the end?

Keep 'em clean, keep 'em sharp. They'll cut anything the big saws will cut, though it may take a while longer.
I've got an S25CVA and a 25D. Waiting on time and a couple parts to put them to work. Momma runs the 2000, and I've
got a few other top-handles that I've managed to resurrect. I've got a 12" b/c for the S25.
Thanks for the help.
I don't know if I should start a new thread or not but I have been kind of looking for a saw on and off, not really committed for sure. But while searching for saws, I found a Stihl MS361 with a 25" bar for sale on craigslist and he is asking $475. The saw looks like it is in really good condition. The ad says it is in great condition physically and mechanically. Do they not make this saw anymore? What was it replaced by? I take it this is a pro saw.
Stihl MS361 25" Chain Saw
All saws mentioned are good choices.
Recommend using a shorter bar than any manufacturer suggests...and a sharp chain.

Stihl MS361 25" Chain Saw
A 25" bar is generally not a good idea on a 60cc saw - it can be used in a pinch though.
I don't understand that, I see people on here saying you can run a 25" bar on a 361 or 362 on occasion all the time. I realize it would not be good to run that all the time but 98% of the time, I would be using a 20" bar.
