Snellerized Saws Meets the Stihl MS261C II

[blsnelling]

Here are all three saws with 63PS Picco chisel chain. The Picco chain didn’t make the difference I thought it would. It’s some hungry chain!

The little 241 amazes me. It hangs right in there with the other two!!!

MS261C

241 is a little beast!!

 

[Stihl 041S]

Dammit Brad........now I don't know which one......

 

[Stihl 041S]

241/261 hybrid.......

 

[blsnelling]

This did not resolve itself for me like I thought it would. I think I'm going to have to hang on to both and use them in real work applications to get a feel for them.

Not for me

OK...what about this: You use the 241 for another 2-3 weeks in testing. Then assuming you didn't trash it, I'll buy it

I mean you can always get another 241

And I'll take it if you do trash it.......



Was that my out loud voice?

Ok, sell it to me if you trash it then I'll sell it you & we'll both be able to run a trashed saw

From left had 22 cc saws to a ported 090.......nothing ever is set in stone.




And the 22 cc saw is a gear drive.

Lol, I suffer from the same curse 041s!

My old combo was the 009 L and an 044 Mag. I sold the 044 years ago and as of a month ago, I decide it's time to get back in the game. I was thinking the 261 cm for medium work and a 461 for the large stuff, with the idea of dabbling in some milling down the road. After watching several vid's (This is when the "curse" raises its ugly head) I come to the conclusion that the 461 isn't quite enough for milling.

Down the rabbit hole I go. The 661cm must be the the answer...Right? You see, my brain doen't allow me to just change the large saw...Now I must revise my entire combo. Up until this thread, I was locked on a 362cm paired up with 661cm, and when the old trusty 009L wears out...The 241cm to complete the trifecta. Viola!

So yea Mr Snellng...thanks for nothing!

Back to the drawing board,

And just as bad with knives, guns and machine tools.

There is no greater truth printed in this forum 041s.

Oh it's sad.......3 mills and a lathe. One more mill and 2 lathes by the time I retire......3 years.

 

[Termite]

My question is how did they take a full pound off this saw. It has to be more than hardware and a few cooling fins?

 

[Aahhyes68]

Subbed...... I'm looking at the 241 tomorrow...good info.
