560 an able replacement

[stihlmadasever]

Ive got too many saws...buuuut ive been offered a 560 at a very reasonable price.

My question is would the 560 be a consolidation of my 261 and 044.My thinkin is get the 560 and punt the 261 and 044

Opinions appreciated

Have used one but have a 357. Not a touch on a 440 up a tree.

 

Reckon you wouldn't miss the 261 if you had a 560 much though.

 

Might be worth checking what generation carb it is etc as some known issues? Sure someone knows more on this

560 runs an 18" bar very nicely.

We have a 441, I never put the 560 down and pick up the 441. Gave up on the 261 a long time ago.

Stihl excel at a lot of things but the 261 isn't one of them.

Stihl- anything with a 1 on the end is absolute pony
