Wanted a sweet truck saw for limbing and getting me out of trouble. This little guy is light and pulls a 3/8 chain on a 20'' bar. The full wrap is well machined and comfortable to throw around here in the PNW.
It shipped fast and I bought a 201 the day this arrived since the work was so nice. Very happy with it so far!

Every saw needs this!
Have a stock 261 and did everything I could with out machining work. Called Mike and talked for a wile and ended up just pulling the triger and getting one of his. Finally got to work with it and its not broke in all the way so I was light on pushing it. However its night and day power and torque difference. Awesome workmanship and got to me within the week.

309 hp ms261
I’ve ran about 20-30 tanks through the saw now. I run it on the front of my dirtbike for clearing deadfall off our multi-use USFS trails. This thing rips and has ran excellent since day one. I’m super happy with it, and am looking to purchase another 309 saw soon! Hp2511 next!
