was there possibly some sick children nearby that possibly robbed some power from the 361 as it was healing them?

I may not be a pro climber or a northwest logger,but I use my saws to make a living,and I use them everyday.I aint a weekend warrior by any means.I build fence for a living and cleanin out grown up fence rows with 2 foot cherry and locust trees is a daily thing.Face it folks ,the 361 lost.Im a Stihl man through and through,and will always be.But I will admit defeat when it happens.But I will also tell ya that I see a 266 or 268 in my near future

I had a similar experience about a month ago. We were cutting up some big oak trees and we were using a Husky 268 and a 036 Pro Stihl saw. The Husky had a 24" bar and the Stihl a 20". The Husky was making about 2 1/2 cuts to every cut of the Stihl. We were cutting up oaks that were 4' at the base, so the bars were buried. I realize that the Husky was a little bigger than the Stihl, I just couldn't believe the difference. Both were borrowed saws and had new chains on them. I ended up buying a used Husky 272XP after seeing how that 268 would run.

I might look into havin my saw "Snellerized".If i done it myself it would be "Snailerized",or possibly "Smellerized".Brad,do you just port the muffler and exhaust port?I knew the 266 had the cc advantage,but I figured an almost new 361 would tear it a new one,especially with a shorter bar.
Get a 272.. nuff' said!!
Never.........nuff' said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to get in in this one. Cutting speeds on two saws that have virtually the same engine displacement, horsepower, and chain lubrication technology get down to one major variable--Sharpening.
His saw's chain was sharpened razor sharp and probably at angles designed for cutting speed. Yours was not in either case. It's as simple as that. He won not because of a faster and more powerful saw. He had a faster chain that ate you up, even though his was a longer chain.
Yes, Mark is right, this thread could go forever.
Matt, man she runs good. After I showed my wife how that thing cuts, she said there isn't a safe tree in our yard.:greenchainsaw: Thanks again for the saw.Aaron, How's she runnin? Glad to see you around
