My spidy senses tell me I needs more POWA in the medium class or middle weights.
So... the question is what would you prefer to use hanging off of you for chunking down oak and maple in the USofA?
Pretty simple concept. Let's just consider that most of the time it will wear a twenty inch bar. No need to talk chain... just the power head is my concern. We all know what chain we like or soon will.
This was the cause of this thread... all his fault.
You think it would be any good for chunking down or basket/bucket work?
Going to dedicate one saw to this task only. Choices are...
026
260
036
360
361
Or buy and port a 346, 034 or 241. Ragged edge 241... saw like Scott builds or a Doctored up 260 type.
261 v1 is too heavy and floppy imo... with a 20ES treeeights, clocks ticking... plus it must pull hard in oaks and maples.
That kind of leaves out my 361 or 362 V1 saws based on ptw and my tendency to now like sloppy AV in them. Never did before... chunking I still like them firm ;-)
Used my near stock muffler modded 260 yesterday. It's just sorely lacking even with chisel skip 72 Oregon chain.
Thoughts?
Considerations?
Dolmar, Makita, others?
Everything is fair game including saws I may have never seen or hearded of, yet

A Guy is hunting an 034 jug and this was the reply. Long considered one for up top. Only drawback is my 036 is about the same weight and could pull a 24 or 28 skip if needed. The 034 will sip fuel... one would suspect.Have you checked ebay? There was one on there very recently. I just finished one of these, it came out better than I expected. Good luck with your search.
