This guy put alot of effort into that review, and from the looks of it, he is not biased in the least. I take his review to be worth it's weight in gold. So again, I can't wait to get ahold of one of them 261s to try out.

indeed. But we all need those thousand words quoted over and over and over again to respond with yet 1024 more "me too's" and "i agree's".
And is it just me, or is someone not giving himself quite enuff credit lately?
Geezus. Next thing ya know, everyone one will be complaining about how slow the server is.
Poge
ya think !!???

So ST, you still sticking with the "261 looks clumsy and poorly balanced" idea from the pics, or what? Not being smart, JW.

Yes, and I am talking about sideways balance!
The Dolmar is pretty bad in that regard, and the Stihl looks like it is even worse.....

The great part is you DON'T have to get one... That is what makes the world go around!!!

Brad, Thanks for your efforts on testing and reporting on the new MS261. I intend on getting one as soon as my dealer can obtain one from the distributor that serves Southern Illinois. Please continue with your informative posts and don't let the naysayers discourage you. There are many more of us than them.

I'm suprised that there has not been one mention of the 261 having a "slant" to the handle. Personally I like that. My 346xp has the same slant and I find it to very comfortable.

Like when you sit the 346 down and it falls over everytime?
I've read of guys fabricating custom dawgs to stop this, LOL.:bang:

I had to go look at the picture from the top again. Seems the Dolmar has the straightest and the 346 the "most bent". I'd like to see a 2153 and 260 beside them. Doesn't look like a problem for any of the saws though.

Had I not finished swallowing my food shortly before reading the above text. I would have spit it onto my laptop. I have see it all now.
SIDEWAYS BALANCE
That is great, leave the Troll to come up with details within details within yet again details.
That is awesome, I'm going to check the sideways balance on my saws. Is there a measurement for this or some kinda go/no go gauge or what consistutes a passing grade?????
Troll you have passion, I just thinks its a bit misplaced at times.

Jealouscy killed the cat Troll, don't let it kill you. That 261 sure has shown your true colors. Too funny, if you sold for the home team I could understand your bias. The cheerleading just as a cheerleader wearing that Husky dress with no vested interest or making a dollar is silly. Is good for giggles though and man people are surely giggling reading your posts about the 261, I know I am. Continue on ole feller, nothing more funnier than watching some ole coot make a fool out of himself, especially sideways, :hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:
