I dont doubt a ported 241 will do what a stock 261 will. My "problem" is I have never ran a stock 261. I had a ported OE and now a ported m tronic. I really need to get my hands on a 241.... If they were cheaper I'd just buy one but I have hard time dropping that kind of coin on a 40cc saw I may or may not use much.

Thanks for the input.
 
I have one Will. I don't use it as much as I thought I would. I use a J'Red 2252 for a lightweight saw.

Next winter might be different though. :)
 
2252, what husky is that?

Honestly I am torn between the 241 and 550 or just be happy with my 261. I really like my 261 but I keep reaching for my 372, it just has me wondering if my smaller saw should be a lot smaller, or (try to stay with me) get a 2260/562 to see if I grab that instead of my 261 or 372.

My dad has a 550 and it wont cut with my 261 but something about it, I just like that saw. I dont think its any lighter or really handles any better, I just like that saw.
 
Ours is very much ported.
Do you port it the same as 550?
How do the 545s/2252s compare to their "pro" brothers once ported?

I'm curious if the crank stuffers are of any advantage once you start grinding.
 
The 241 has taken the place of the 261 for me. Next stop is the 70cc saws.

The Mtronic part of the 241 squeezes every last ounce of power from the 40cc and for limbing it is a pleasure to run.
 
Ha blokes.
At it early again today,felling.blocking but its not all bad the farm workers have to chipper chop the tops and load the wood into a truck then take it to the farm house i got the good part of the job.
