It does, might just run it for a while and see how I like it.

First saw I have ported from start to finish, green oak cut down yesterday, chain is Oregon LGX off the roll, didn't touch the rakers. Wanted a solid base line.

White Oak is tough stuff, even when still green!

The worst is shagbark hickory here in New England. There’s a softer hickory without shaggy bark that cuts kind of like oak. I don’t mind that one. White oak and ash ain’t as hard but they will expose a weak oiler.

Agree fully with the Shag Bark!

Mason, the Blue Beast now runs like the Flying Tiger!

Going to have to start calling you "Wild Mike Kelso". Lol

 

[MustangMike]

The actual Flying Tigers were volunteers, in China, before the US entered the war … and they had a very impressive record!

I'm not a one brand or another guy, but a 346 truly punches above its class when fiddled with. That being said, I'd pick a 261 V2 over most other 50cc saws.

Well I have a 261v2 and a 346...love them both. Neither is really broken in yet so it will be a while before I see which I like better.

Just depends if your a Stihl guy or a Hooskie guy. Lol.

Depends more of your a reg carb or autocarb saw kinda guy, no wrong answer here, booth Great saws.

Nice to have at least 2 saws of each size … a 260 and a 261; a 360 and a 362; a 044 and a 462 … funny how the only 2 unported saws I have are both 70 cc!!!

I've always felt the sweet spot for saws was the 70cc class, as far as general capability and weight.

Yeah, kinda sorta. My 026 was a little light duty for logging, the ms360 was borderline, but the 460/372/7900 always made me happy as far as power and weight together. I didnt usually look forward to hauling the 660 or 394 around lol

I hear you Dominic. Homeowner|firewooder is different from logger.

Even though I'm not a logger, when going any distance into the woods, I totally agree with that assessment, but would add the 044/440. When you get a good running one, they are hard to beat.

The 440 was so respected that after they replaced it with the 441, they had to re-introduce it … and charged more for an old tech 440 than for a newfangled 441!!!
