This is the scoop. If you don't want to spend the extra for a pro Stihl, buy a 250. Plenty capable. If money is not the whole object, spend the extra for the 026 (260) Pro saw.

Why not the 251? I got one perhaps 10 years ago, still have not touched the adjusters for the carb. The anti vibe is so soft the single bar nut probably is in line with the overall package. It did take a couple years to get used to the sound probably due to the composite material. I dont use it too often lately and drain the bar oil after I do but it has been trouble free. Once I used it so hard the clutch area was smoking I doubt the 250 would be any different just be sensible if one sees smoke. Thel clutch drum hence crank center seems to have drifted toward the bar, it has been like that for quite a while, need some pliars to pull the clutch drum out.This is the scoop.
