How many ported ms261s out there?

I always gut the strat. That's the only way to really wake them up.

And that was done to mine by Brad and she screams!!

As many of these saws as I've done you'd think I would be well versed in the way they handle and perform......well that's not really the case. I had used one enough to know how to stack up in timed cut against other 50cc saws.....that they are a little heavier than the 346....stuff like that. But I finally had the chance to use Rolltide's 261 long enough to put a couple of tanks of fuel through it while we were cutting some largish red oak a few days ago.

I carried my ported 372 and David's 261 with me to tear up the top section of one of the trees. I figured I would need the 372 because there was still some 10-14" stuff in there......and the stem was still attached. Well as luck would have it the 372 was out of fuel (I know ) so I just kept on with the 261 even when the wood was "too big" for a 50cc saw. When I ran the 261 out of fuel I had already gotten through most of he smaller stuff....but when I went to fuel them both I just left that heaver 372 sitting at the fuel can. The bad ass little 261 could handle severing the main stem and bucking those bigger blocks just fine.

Moral of this story?????

I want a 261 in my line up now.
