Which saw to port?

[TreeMonkey85]

So I'm trying to decide on which to port. I dont cut a ton of wood, just occasionally. But I like more power! My MS361 wears a 20 and the MS660 wears a 28. Throw another wrench in, guy has an MS440 in great shape for cheap- he upgraded to a 461. So buy it and make a hybrid? Eventually they all will be, but what will make for the best all around?

Best all around would be the hybrid in my humble opinion.....but even a 660 can be a firewood saw. lol

Go big or go home. Port the 660 and work ur way down.

X2 on the hybrid for all around saw. 361 is a close second.

Best occasional firewood saw around.

I would get the 440 regardless of what you port first, they are great ported as is, and even more gooder when made a hybrid by CFB. I would recommend running it to get the feel and compare to your other two and see which one needs a boost more in your opinion(the only one that counts) than the other two, then make your decision.

Which ever one you run the most

This. For me it'd be the 440.

Although I've never owned one I have ran a 440 .I liked it .The guy that owned it suffered a theft of most of his saws and replaced it with a 441 which certainly wasn't the saw it replaced .For that matter the 660 that replaced his stolen 066 wasn't nearly the saw either .

If you port the 361, you won’t run the 440. So I say port the 440 first

440..

Thanks for all the input! I pulled the trigger on the 440, one owner, occasional use saw. Now to gather funds and get it built. I'm thinking ported 460 P&C, 3/4 wrap and 24" light bar. Who will be the best to build the beast?

I like my @Canadian farm boy Hybrid of this type. He does an excellent job with these, tailored to your usage, I highly recommend!
