I fail to see the need for the new breed of 42/43cc pro saws, as the weight is far too close to some 50cc saws, and the power is nowhere close.
opcorn:
I bought a MS 261 then I bought a MS 241I stihl have both
Andrew bought a MS 261 and then bought a MS 241 he stihl has both, well he will when randy gets done with it
Mat bought a MS 261 then I bought a MS 241 he sold the MS 261 but he stihl has the ms 241
Matt is a husky owner and has a preference for them but he also loves his dollmars with good reason.
Matt will criticize a sthil saw when he wants but he will acknowledge there advantages when they have them.
Example HD2 filters the best there is end of discussion
inboard clutches are practical but that is not the only reason for choosing a saw.
do we need a new computer or a new mobile phone no
can a new model have some benefits / improvements yes
will you make use of them ? not unless you want too.
Matt is the least likely stihl fan boy but he has shown that in working conditions that a MS 241 will cut drop more wood on the ground in a all day job than a faster cutting saw that was the same size and lighter. because he did not have to stop and walk back to fuel it as often
see today's job thread.
me I'm a pruner not a logger sure i do drop the odd 24" to 36" trunk but most are smaller and I prefer the MS 241
it is the only saw i have that has a stock muffler and that is desirable in town.
I dont need a 70cc saw I can borrow a ms 660 or a ms 840 any time I want.
I am not likely to start saw milling when the owner of the 660 and the 840 has a lucas mill.
If I wanted a 70 cc saw then it would be a makita but only with a filter upgrade and for price reasons.
A MS 441 would be cool
a husky well maybe but I have not got CAD that bad yet?
I do want a MS 200 for the right price but I'm just as likely to get a MS 150 apparently they are available just not listed in OZ
