Price of porting 660 and 261

[allamerican]

Hello. I want my 261 and 660 ported. Can anyone get me a price and a pic of what it could look like? Not trying to be obnoxious.
Would it sound better, power difference, etc? Id hate to ship my saws out to someone and never see them again. Reputable a key. thanks.

Bump. Found this thread in the Chainsaw Sticky forum (wrong forum to start a thread). It said it got moved to the chainsaw thread but probably got buried. Some of the builders may want to reply, or maybe not.

Allamerican, there are many reputable builders on here. If unsure, just ask for references, but then you have to wonder if their references are reputable too :msp_biggrin:

Usually its around $250 plus shipping. There are alot of great porters here.

Look at some build threads . They'll have pictures. And most charge $250-$300 per saw. But its worth every dime. Look on YouTube you can find comparison videos. Oh and you look new welcome to the site. Feel free to ask questions

Stumpy's Customs, Mastermind, TLandrum, BSnelling, etc. There are plenty of people that port here on Arborist Site. Most of them have an e-mail and phone number in there signature. I recommend picking up the phone and just calling them. They will ask questions like what length bar you plan on running, are these all day work saws or weekend warrior fire wood saws, etc to help them judge what can and can't be done to the saw. You will probably find someone that you are most comfortable talking with and that's who I would recommend. Definitely will change the sound and performance of your saw.

So exciting! Just watched masterminds videos before/after porting. The problem I have no is deciding on which one to port out first. Thanks again!

There are a bunch I'm NOT advertising but giving you names I can think of the rest of you guys feel welcome to fill in ones I miss. Stumpy, Mastermind, tree monkey, snelling, Dennis cahoon, tlandrum, I'm forgetting a bunch of guys. Plenty to choose from real quality guys.


Which do you use most often ?

Ported chainsaws are just a fad.

Damn, that saw is throwing some chips!

Tree Monkey just did my MS660 and it is extremely nice on how it responded to his touch. He also did my MS460 both saws turned out fantastic. I recommend him.

I sent the MS660 directly to him and handed off the MS460 at the last Iowa GTG in person. He didn't disappoint at all.

Both saws pull any bar put on them with authority

Masterminds saws are really loud and cut really fast and smell like pie.
