    My 261C-M came today! !

    This saw is all MasterMech's fault! ;)

    Hoping to get some trigger time this weekend! :) I have 3 days off (in a row!!) :dex: I normally work 15-25 days straight. So this is pretty exciting! !

    Looking forward to Jrsdws and also Griz's thoughts on their 261's as well!!

    Some pics to prove it happened! :dex:

    And a pic of the Mtronic family! The MS 460 and the Solo 665 felt left out, but being two strong saws? I hope they get over it :rofl: :lol:

    So are you on the waiting g list at your dealer for the 661?

    Your probably one of his best customers.

    I know loggers running 2 crews that buy fewer new saws than you do. And they beat on them. I'm talking a new bar every month or so. Cause they run dull jacked up chains can't sharpen and dont clean the grove. I'm talking burnt paint off in 3 weeks. They even run a buck saw off the loader. Use a saw to cut a few ply logs , jump butts, and to cut poles to length.
