Since I did the MM on the 180, it has really woke up. We did another little upgrade to it yesterday...
Changed over from the 16" .043 bar to a 14" .050 bar. Difference is that you can get yellow/pro chain in .050 gauge, other bar is green/safety chain only. It had some wear on the rails too.

It has a bigger cutter as well, be able to sharpen more, it is still the PM, semi chisel, he is ordering some PS, full chisel chains, I'll get one of those too. That will cut faster.
This is a 13-14" oak log...
Cut 95% of this load with it. Had 1 bigger log with huge knots, used the Husky 55 on it. View attachment 287655

Nice! I like the PS and RS chain myself.

201 came with a 14" bar and the 194T has a 12" i can swap out as i think they are the same size/guage etc. The 170 is getting sold. I did buck bigger wood with all three saws and they handled it well, but try to keep it below 8" for the most part.
