I run full chisel RC because its prime use is liming, trimming green Sugargum tops.

Yes but as well as liming,trimming we cut the tops into lengths for what we call sawbend lengths being about 6 to 8 feet long to be cut on a sawbench at a latter date,so some of the cuts range up to about 8 to 10 inch size so thats wear the grunt of the ported 241 comes into its own.
So when your at this all day the light weight,nimble little saw is brilliant for this,261 doesn't get used much these days.
Another thing i like is you can put it down for afew minutes and fell afew more trees,pick it up and starts first pull every time.

l think the stilman could positively ruin a shiny new RS chain in say 1 or 2 cuts if he wanted to. Dirty dry swomp gum of coarse..he likes that stuff

Big thanks to Brad for hooking me up with the ms241. These little pro grade saws seem so interesting to me lolol. I can't wait to see what the 543xp will be like too. Its a shame none of the Redmax versions are not available here.
Brad did you do a thread on that mod ? I think I missed that . I am thinking of a rear handle 201 for little jobs instead of using my ms200t .Great thread on this 241.
It's the exact same saw as the 201T, just with a rear handle.
And with a purge bulb & E-start.
It's not needed, but what is wrong with it. I guess they must have figured that it was just a "little old ladies" saw. Not so! It is a very serious little slasher!
Sorry to be a little off topic, but I guess it is appropriate to talk about the 201 in comparrison to the 241.

this would fit me good for the type of cutting I do but not for that kind of money,, if it got down to about 400 I would really consider it,,,, good job as usual brad

I'm sure I can beat that price.
They're $520 here. That's still a lot of dough for it, not to mention that a 261 is only $50 more. I think there needs to be more of a price difference for this saw to sell well. Even though we know the value of a lighter saw here, most people will opt for the bigger saw, IMHO. That's unfortunate, as this is a great little saw.
