[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 451242, member: 3775"] Having worked as a Cutter for more than a few years, If you want a saw to take away on your trips in the bush and around the yard then the Stihl 240/260 is a great little work horse, But if you are going to want to cut big stuff then the smallest you would want is the 440/460, for heavier stuff you would need the 660 with a metre Bar, If you are going to go for something like the 660 then get them to fit it up with 404" chain, the smaller chains wear out too soon on the 064/640 or the 066/660. 404" will eat big timber for breakfast. :power: My picks would be:- for everyday stuff the 260, Big stuff the 460 and when it's time to get serious the 660 on 404" Hope that helps, [/QUOTE]
