Haul the 66 around for a day, and the 361 will seem like a feather the next day.  |

We use the Stihl MS 200 (with the regular two handed handle) for these purposes. They are light, go easy on the gas and oil, very easy to sharpen and can be done quickly, cheap on chains and bars, easy to service and maintain, and when sharpened correctly, they cut very quick. When parts do break down on a critical moment, most of them can be replaced with parts of of one of our MS 200T's for a while untill we can get it to a service center. The 260 doesn't cut as fast as the 200, regardless of the higher power and bigger chain. I don't really like those .325 chains actually. |

I like the 200t, I use a 12" or 14" bar, all metal construction, lightweight, lots of power, with the rear handle it might make a nice ground saw for you.
