Nice write up, these threads r the best , I agree w low volt , I'd like to see how the 241 compares to a 201rear handle.
241 would have the initial upper hand being mtronic and all.
Would like to see the power to weight specs then look at some timed cuts. Without a doubt the 201 would need its initial tweeks to make it close. But the average joe arborist doesn't know about modding or anything like that. They just want a saw that cuts wood fast out of the box.
Don't let sawtroll see this he'll have to edit 55,000 posts and might start . In all seriousness Sawtroll should get one of these little devils they ARE that good.
Here's another MS241C that I ported last night. This one's wearing .325 RS chain. It pulls the .325 well. Cut times are very close to that of the 63PS3. I prefer the 63PS3 myself. It's easier to operate and more forgiving in the cut. While very close in cut times, the edge goes to the 63PS3. Now, if you chose to run .325, it'll pull it just fine. I'm just trying to describe the differences.
That's my 241 that Brad just ported and I'm expecting great things from it. I ran it long enough to be impressed with its quick handling, smooth running, and quick throttle response. But I really liked the power it had right out of the box. It will be a little monster for its size. Before I sent it to Brad I weighed the 241 and the 261 Brad did for me. These are real world weights w/ full oil and fuel. Both saws have 16" bars and 325 chain. 241= 13.26 261= 15.03 I just can't find anything I don't like and after seeing what Brad did I know it's a winner. Thanks Brad!Good to see you Brad. I was just reading one of your old threads and then got an alert you had posted so.... Welcome back.
I hear ya. I am sooooo ready for spring.I gotta be honest, im iching to get back out an run my 241 lol. Only problem is the pile of logs is still covered in SNOW!!!
