Nice looking little saw neighbor.

And to think I liked you before

Funny I noticed that right away.Wow Steve, you did it lol.
You better make sure they gave yours both bar nuts
My little 32 cc Dolmar has two bar nuts.

Saw this bad ass needent be bother with 2 nuts, just slows it down.
ETA: Truth be told, I hadn't noticed the single bar nut till I looked at the picture.

Not sure about it slowing the saw down, but that extra nut slows me down. I've always liked the 450 rancher with the single bar nut as well as some of the other smaller saws with only one bar nut
.
The second generation 261 that's significantly lighter and slightly (?) more powerful.

Nice saw. I look forward to hearing how you like it.
I thought about buying one last year, to ride on the front rack of the Gator, but couldn't find a local dealer who stocked them and ended up with a 211. One dealer told me, the 241 is too close to a 261 and he didn't think anyone would buy the smaller saw but he did offer to order me one.
Although the 211 is a decent saw and is fine for it's intended purpose, it didn't scratch the itch.
I know the 241 is a far superior saw, I just need a little nudge.
Just a little curious. Why do most people talk about little tiny saws. There is absolutely nothing wrong with any saw that that meets the needs of the user. My smallest saw that I have started and used in the last two years is a Husky 460, which is 60cc. My largest at the moment is a modified Stihl 090. Have considered shopping around recently for something that pumps a little harder than the 090. A dealer said that nobody would want a saw bigger than the new Stihl MS 660. It has not impressed me yet. I prefer to spend no more than 5 or 6 seconds going through a 20'' log. Are the smaller saws nice because they are so lite or do most wood cutters cut small logs because the trees are not that big where they live. Years ago when I worked in NE Oregon cutting old growth there were many 50'' to 60'' Dia trees that needed at least a 90cc saw to pull a 6' bar. However there were 100,000s 12'' Lodge Pole Pines that did not need much of a saw. In California the larger trees are up to 6' Dia and the smaller I suppose are only 12'' Dia. Thanks

Looks like you answered your own question.
But did you see the picture of that 241 with the 12" bar? That things just adorable.

I'm cutting in what's called the "Canadian Shield" so other than a big bottomland aspen or a random Norway or white pine I'm rarely dealing with any tree over 20". When I do charity cuts or help out with yard trees that's where my big saw earns it's keep. But any of my small saws do more cutting in a busy weekend than the big saw does all year.
I also like little saws for limbing because the year I did about 50 cords of cutting with my L65 doing all of the duties I got a seriously painful case of tennis elbow from limbing with a heavy saw.
