Most of the time I do 10x10 or 8x8 pine testing to get an idea about a saw. Today I ran my
ms440 and big bore ms460 in some huge knotty pine. Both saws were running round ground skip 3/8 and 8 pin rim sprockets. The 460 had a 32" and the 440 had a 25". I know for a video I could've put a 16" 3/8 square ground full comp blablabla but I wanted to do a video of a couple of well ported saws set-up/running the way they would in the field for me. I run skip on longer bars to cut down on sharpening time 20" and under get full comp. The ms460 has a 8 rim on it and usually it would have a 7 with the long bar but I didn't swap it out because it was already set up and I didn't feel like it.

This is a cool 357 - Husky 357 - YouTube
Both the 359 and 357 came out nice. The 357 will beat the 359 with a stop watch. Both these were tested with the same 18" B&C full comp 3/8 with 8 rims on em' Pulls it just fine. Both people who use these saws run them often.
This is a Husky 266 I did for my brother - Husqvarna Husky 266 SE - YouTube
This saw (266) is running a 20" 3/8 with an 8 rim round ground. I really like 266's and 670's. I think they are great all arond saws and everyone should have one. They don't have the anti-vibe their predecessors have but for the average guy they are more then enough. I don't care for the intake and impulse setup on the 266 and like how the j-red 670 has theirs. When I do a 266 I try and mimic that design.
Hope all enjoy and please post some of yours.
