Well I did some milling today. Went pretty good, learned a ton, and worked on breaking in the 361. Got something like 4-5 tanks on it now, it was fun to see the power increase so much just with the milling. The saw is making a strong comeback for me, although I think a 440 or 660 kit is still in the near future. The wood is Elm, and it was around 12" in the center. Very fun afternoon, although it was a lot of hard work, especially moving it to the pallet.

Looks good! Get yourself a 660 and start milling 40"+ oh yeah

Couple thing, are the Ms170 fuel vent's the same as poulans, know it was mentioned earlier, but couldn't find post? Also, is there really any difference between the flippy caps for fuel and oil on Stihl saws? Online lists them differently, but I cannot see any differences.

Is the Echo CS-800p the only saw sold in the states with manual override? @Boomer 87

I never noticed a difference in Stihl flippy caps but then again never thought about it. I'm not at the man cave tonight so I can't swap them and check. I do know a member here is selling normal caps that fit and replace the flippy caps.

I dont know, i know its not a very common thing to see a new saw with a manual override oiler these days

 

[Boomer 87]

The echo has an override as well as an adjustable auto oiler, i really dont think any other major brand runs an override, good for milling though . I just wish it was about 120ccs, then itd be the ultimate milling saw

A member from a different country was shipping the Cs-1201 at one point. They look rugged.

Why just one 660? Double power heads are always twice the fun.

ido believe there are different sizes on them there might be a few models that use the same one but i don't think 1 size fits all.

what do youse guys think ? mac 10-10 pro. runs. guy is asking $75 but i'm a negotiator.

 

[Kensie1988]

That's a pretty solid deal but getting it for $40-$50 should be about where you would want to be at I think.
