I have a MS250 16" and for the life of me I can't get the thing to cut worth a darn. Me and a friend set out to cut a bunch of oak yesterday and he has a cheap Sears saw with an 18" bar. He was blowing right through the wood. I started with a brand new chain purchased from my Stihl dealer and it has the yellow tag for more aggressive. Even right out of the box it wasn't cutting anywhere near his saw. I took my Pferd to it later in the day and it feels sharp as heck, but it just doesn't rip through the wood at all. If I don't give it heavy pressure it just sits there and cuts very little. What's odd is it seems to cut pretty good if I come from the underside of the log upwards. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
