Can't wait to get one. That 261 for 600$ is gonna be mine. Gotta get some cash together first.
Great saw, sweet deal!Paid $560 + tax with 18" & RS on the one I just bought
And the MTronic is mod friendly? I'm new to this type. I'm gonna want to MM and drop cylinder. From what I understand it will tune itself?The MS 261 C-M came along in fall '13. I have both the MS 260 PRO and MS 261 C-M VW, and will likely never get rid of either of them. As said before, totally different saws, but they're both great!

That one wasn't MTronic though was it? They're more expensive.Paid $560 + tax with 18" & RS on the one I just bought
The 026 is 44mm. The MS260 is 44.7mm. There have been changes to the tank vent, air filter, fuel line diameter, etc.
Paid $530, 16". Non-MTronic.That one wasn't MTronic though was it? They're more expensive.
In my case I always thought they were too small, but as the years roll on I'm selling the tanks in favor of smaller sawsI own an 026 Pro. It starts and runs perfectly. Balance is excellent. Power is excellent. I have no idea why I failed to buy one 14 years ago. I'm glad I own one today and as much as I use it as my #1 firewood saw, I doubt I will ever wear it out. This saw is a keeper forever.

Actually, I have watched 026 Pro's win cookie cutting contests at several GTG's. Entered in the under-60 cc class, these saws (and the MS260/261) usually win when the 361 and 362 are screened out. It's the chain condition that counts the most.I have a woods ported 026PRO. It won't win any cookie cutting contests with another ported 3 cube saw but it is a sweetheart in the woods. Couldn't be any more perfect for limbing.
I run a 16" bar and regular 3/8" RS chain. It was 20" .325 RS when I got it.
