    10 tanks in the last 2 weeks and that thing is a baby godzila !! that makes around 12 plus tanks so far. I know it will get even stonger in the next 12 but that thing turns up like crazy. No price tag I will ride it until I or It is gone. I have put it in some big wood for the 16" 3/8 set up and the more you feed it the better it likes it. It has a sound like it will break winders out. It and my 461 Perfect match for me. I hope all my saw head buddys have this love for a (pair) of saws. Tell us what your 2 saw love are?????:saw::hair: The saw world goes through Jamestown Tenn. In my mind. Thats why the best saws are orange Tenn Orange but other thoughts are out there. What are they???

    Hey It don't matter what they are if you are happy with them. Thats the only key. No matter what other people think as long as you are on top of your mountain. The only thing I wish I would have done is run the 261 a bit before masterminded but I put it up against a stock 261 a few weeks back and it was between 2 and 3 seconds faster. That helped bit my advice would be run at least 5 tanks through 1 before sending it to the mastermind and you will see the difference. That is what I done with the 461.

    Sound advice bud :thumbs:

    I would probably be happy with my 261 and 460. :dex:

    I used to be happy with a Husqvarna 455 Rancher and a 235. So happiness varies with the operator and their needs (level of CAD) ;)

    Husqvarna 262xp and Stihl 044 10mm. Haven't ran the 044 yet but LOVE the 262xp, it's an early non-decomp model.
    Can't wait to give the 044 a workout. 346xp or 261cm on wish list for ultimate 3-saw plan!

    I should be done buying saws with a ported 346 and 2166. I have a 154 and an 046 as backups. Guess this is my 2 part 2 saw plan.

    Anything over the 70cc class just isnt worth the weight since I have no reason to run bigger than a 28" bar.
