Ha! that tree was about to fall over on it's own... I hate that lack of hinge wood. But yes, 20in bar 3/8 is "standard" (depends on area still) on 026/MS260 out here.
I know, it makes me kinda grin...

I think the MS361 is overkill for what the guy described as intended work.
For clean-up, the 50cc saw will do the work 99% of the time. And you always limb faster with a smaller saw. Absolutely no need to drag around weight that you don't need. For smaller trees, I work much faster and more efficient with the 353 as with the 262, despite the lower power. More power only serves you when the diameter grows. In smaller wood, the 50cc saw will cut as fast as the 361. Go for a 346/353 if you want the best 50cc saw, or the MS260 if you by some reason absolutely want a Stihl (but it's an old design).

You need to watch Ben O's race 260 video if we are talking mods!:jawdrop:
HEHE :hmm3grin2orange: I've seen the 026 race saw videos before. Ben has a pretty impressive 026. After watching the videos one thing comes to mind:
HOT KNIFE THROUGH BUTTER
Yeah, I don't know of too many 3 cube saws that can hang with his.
I need a small saw,for clean-ups,brush,firewood etc,to me reliability is the most important thing,it has to start every time and go
The people in this thread are missing the original question that was asked, see above.
The man needs a light saw, have you ever tried cutting some brush with an 038 or 031AV? Those suckers are heavy when you're bent over or doing side-sweeps.
The man is looking for a Stihl MS260, a Husky 346XP, or a 353XP. Those 361's and 441's may make all kinds of sense to the Western folks, but that's a big ass saw by Eastern standards and certainly too big to use for effective clean-up work.
For a used saw the Husky 242xp/xpg is a good smallsaw I think their is one in every woodshed here in sweden
They seem to just run and run, despite the lack of maintenance from allot of their owners ,,
