I’d take that reliability bet on a 260 vs 346 they’re both rock solid and yes a 346 kicks an 026/260’s but. I’d expect that though since the 026 came out first. Each new saw in that size should beat the previous saws in the class.

Me too, did them at my uncle’s garage right on site l. Problem was they had rust in the venting and even if they met minimum thickness spec the would re warp really easily if they were hot and then hit water ect. For this reason he quit doing them alone with being liable if something happened.

If i didn’t bring the ts-08 concrete saw adapter when i bought you the old 08 i need to bring with next time i come down

Not really worth the time anymore to rebuild my opinion just because usually have a scored bore ext just get new ones and replace and i always put pads and rotors on each time.

That’s fine unfortunately not many are willing to spend the money and or can afford to. Right now unless everyone switch to USA made manufacturing isn’t coming back and even if it did we don’t have enough young people that want to that kind of work no matter what you pay them. 90% of people...

They definitely aren’t light

Only problem is planing a 40-50” wide surface with a router and homemade sled is not a fast or easy task neither is sanding. The last real wide ones I cut I made super thick and after they dried I set them across horses and made a jig to run mill on to recut them flat

261 is definitely easier on hands also.

I’ve used both in .404 and 3/8”.

The smooth finish comes from the shallow angle. I’ve seen rip chains set up 0-15 degrees it’s all what you want, 5-10 degrees is slower in cut but smoother and on wide slabs the slower smooth cut will still save time over planing or sanding a 40” wide slab smooth. So will always depend on what...

This is very true and the first fix was a new flywheel and coil with a retune. New ones have factory pop up pistons weather that’s good or not depends who you ask about it.

A 261 is substantially smoother and stock for stock pretty far above an 026. I still have a 026 red lever from 1991 my dad bought for me new but it’s the only one I’ll keep. They’re good running and durable but so is the 261 and if I’m using a 50cc Stihl any amount it will be the 261.

As Kevin said large dogs act like a wedge and as the saw gets pulled into the wood it actually will apply down force on the bar and chain. They like these?

Just to let you know that doesn’t do anything if it’s out of parameters it’s out and needs recalibration with the mdg1. They adjust basically immediately to anything it can within its ability and if it’s outside the range it will end up running like crap or blown up maybe both.

Both have had many, 201 had at least 3 updates. Ms 441 got recalled because of bad intake boot materials and they were blowing up but actually was a solid saw after the fixes were done too bad the damage was done. Husky has updated then completely replaced models with same basic model number and...
