I had to go pick up a new drain pump for the washing machine today -- floor of the laundry room was soaked and the old pump was badly leaking.
When I was over in Creston (about 25 miles from our house), I stopped at the local Stihl dealer to check out his shop. I'd never been to that dealer before -- nice place and both the owner and his counter help were very helpful and friendly and the owner really knew what he was talking about.
I've got a MS361 and a MS250 that I bought as a team from a different dealer last February. The 361 has had about 30 tanks through it. The 250 has had only about 5.
I like the 250 okay, but I just don't seem to pick it up to do my limbing. I've been regretting not spending the extra cash and getting what I really wanted at the time -- the MS260. After getting a good look at the 260 at the dealer's, I was really regretting my decision.
I got home and talked to my wife about it and she thinks I should sell the 250 and buy the 260. She reminded me that the pro saws are made a lot better and would be a lot nicer to cut with. She's one great woman!!
I've got a question though, should I get the 260 with a 16" bar and 3/8 chain, or would .325 be better. I plan to use the 260 for limbing and cutting stuff about 14" max. I like the idea of 3/8, then when I really want to have some fun, I could use the 16" on my 361.
You know ... I would have been perfectly happy with a new Farm Boss MS290 and my old beater Echo CS-3000 until I came to this site and contracted that CAD.
Thanks in advance for the advice!!
God bless,
Chris
