[QUOTE="iceman_lumberja, post: 88396, member: 3513"] I have a new ms260 pro. I was a little worried that it would be underpowered especially with larger wood. I was wrong. Mine has an 18 inch bar and 3/8 chain and can go through trees 18-20'' easily. I have run a 290 farmboss and mine side by side . The 290 may have a little more torque but the saw is too heavy. I too was going to wait for the 280 but opted for the small 260 to start out with. I'm glad I bought the one I did. For the stuff you said you'd be cutting, the 260 would work great. If you really want a good all around saw, pop for the 360 pro. [/QUOTE]
