Curious as to what exactly makes the 550xpat a dream to work on over the MS 261 C-M? The dumb outboard chain tensioner? The stupid hammer and...
Same old story, different forum. A guy asks which new stihl performs better, and the gallery jumps right into their favorite saws to work on....
So dan, Since your Honda is taken care of, how much would you sell it for? :P
Not sure what gear drive tractors have to do with ATVs, but they wouldn't be very high on my list for firewood gathering. The hydro Kubota RTV...

An MS 362 C-M has a bigger jug.
Ok, I'll play along for now only because I brought in the last load with a flimsy hunkajunka, but as soon as snow flies I'll be forced to whip out...
So are you saying that you're done porting saws for the year? So, a 40% gain in turn around time?
Nice! :p
Great wood, flimsy saw! :D
It seems this sight has many more michigan members than the others. Perhaps too many hillbillies over there...
