Discussion...261 (Snellorized) best crane saw ever

[treevet]

My current opinion after today. Just love this saw. Probably be even a step better with a Brad port job but I have to wait til he can do it. But this saw just screams and is light and with a 20" er...best crane saw ever imo.

Tree was boomed over house because primaries on other side. 1st pick was 20 feet beyond primaries and I notched it back at the base and he stood it up. Picks much bigger than cam makes them appear including brush picks. Last stem pick was closer to 5k than 4k. We were out at the end of his stick without the jib on. About 120' of main I believe.

He set me on the top of the last brush pick just to give you an idea of the size lessening of the camera. Job completed in 4 hours start to finish and driveway blown...$2600.00. Net after crane..over 2k.

Looking up and down that street it is shocking the loss of giant trees and most I have removed that have died or gone over by uprooting or by storms. The result of An over mature urban forest without forethought to replant until much too late. I got on the UFB and we began an active replanting program.

Once again Dave, thanks for the kind words, and it's a pleasure doing business with you.

Nothing like a hot 50cc with a 20" bar for crane work. I run a 550xp that was "snellorized" and it absolutely rips!

That snellorized 241 is a rippa too. Groundie loves it.

A 50cc ported saw from Brad and the 60cc will gather dust.

I quit using 60cc saws a long time ago. With a ported 346, 550, or 261, I have no need for one. If I need a bigger saw, I'm headed straight to a 70cc or 90cc.
