I just got one of those dropped off by the mailman yesterday. Needs a new piston and some rubber bits, but hopefully not much else. I've only run an OE once or twice. I'm stoked to get it fired up and see how it handles.

Oh those kids, yes it's expensive keeping them alive, and happy LOL.
Better make sure they all get huskys or they won't be happy.

Great picture.Hey, these two are happy!
What are those, 361/441cm, look good from here
.Not much smoother than a 441.
Just like an ne, great, that is if your into huskys.
Nice score, you'll never have a hot start issue either

260/441rcm. That picture was a few years ago and the 441 has had a spa day in Tennessee. My brother-in-law has the 260. I have a 550 now, and a 660 for the big stuff.
That's a pretty good 3 saw plan.
These got in on the last couple of cords in the fall.
With all these saws are there any trees left?

I’ve been thinking about selling the 550 and getting a new 261c. I use the 441 the most though, it’s such a pleasure to run.

Jeez, keep your voice down. You're gonna start a fight talking like that around here.

ya , I've been eyeing the new 260 c-m also. Weight wise, 10.8 lbs is now on par with the 550xp. My local saw shop hasn't got the 550xp or the 261 c-m on the shelf at this time to see what they feel like side by side. Any feedback from those who have run both? Is the new 261 less chunky in feel? Is either one more snappy than the other ..... I'm guessing it may just come down to personal preference but I'm interested to hear from those who have given both an honest workout.
They are both great saws, but if you like the handling of the stihl you will want a 261, if you like a husky grab the 550.
The only advantage I see is for those who don't want to deal with the outboard clutch then grab the 261, and since both saws need dealer help for servicing(if you have a problem) get the one with the best local dealer support. Others may have some other advice, in my opinion those are the main things, grab whatever brand you prefer for handling and have fun as both are great saws.
If you like the stihls which it appears you do you will like it.
I prefer the husky, but I cut teeth on the 346.
Is there something you dislike about the 550.
Some guys are more sensitive than others about brand loyalty, it makes me laugh LOL.
