Best Size Stihl for Clear Cutting

[bwalker]

The 260 is a bad saw, but after comparing it to others of the same class, it is apparent that there are better choices.

Exactly.

A tiny tweek of the muffler cover and it all comes back :biggrinbounce2:

Yes, I know....

The 260 is not a bad saw by any means, but after comparing it to others of the same class, it is apparent that there are better choices. ...

Yep, that's how it is - 18 years or so old sesign,

Walker has bad thoughts on very many good saws, one being the 7900

The only bad thoughts I have had on the 7900 where based on the oiler problems I had and the lack of dealer/parts support. Both of these issues exist and are real.

Exactly.

There you have it..."Exactly"

 

[bwalker]

I would argue that the 260 is actually a "bad" saw based on the fact its way over priced, it vibrates like crazy and it underperforms power wise.
346 or 5100 anyday of the weak over the boat anchor(ie260).

But Ben its a great milling saw.. You gotta try it..

The only saw I truly hate is the 260. Its that bad.
Wtih that said my good list of current production saws that I have ran consists of the 372,044/440,066/660,361(behind357), 357,346. Ones I dont care for are the 395,385,046/460, 029-039, 036/360.

The 260 is the only saw I truely love, so much for opinions huh and since I have ran 100 times more saws than you I guess my opinion holds more "weight" than yours,LOLOL

 

[sawinredneck]

Ohhhh Ohhhh, I want one now!!!!!! Won't need the 046 after all!!!!!!

 

[SawTroll]

I believe that you are mostly right as usual, Ben - but for some odd reason I like the 260 anyway......

Go that right. or a 660 for that matter. I like saws that perfrom, regardless of brand. Course I aint selling them,lol.

Haha. I knew you would say that now I get to sink a good in you at last. The 260 in your opinion is awful. Ok can you explain 18 years of great sales and why it has a reputation for lasting and being one of the most reliable saws out there, hmmm. See Ben everyone can't be wrong and your the only one right. Now swollow slowly and don't choke,:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

I hear the 7900 performs very well but you got issues with that saw too, hmmmmmmmm Ben maybe its you, not the saws,LOL

 

[04ultra]

See Ben the 026 earned a spot in the group...

290, great saw. Sell tons of those. Did you get a bad one Ben, if so GOOD,LOL
