Need Help Selecting a Second Saw

[Ikeholt]

Reading about saw weights, asking these guys about selling a saw. That's early symptoms of CAD, have seen it many times. Keep the J-red, it will look good with the 20 others on the shelf in about a year.

Alright, what’s the J-red worth? Maybe 12 hours on it.

241 is looking pretty good here. Several of the reviews on the Stihl site say it’s a great companion to the 360 series. 14” on this one, 20” on the 362, with a 24” skip in the shop for bigger stuff...

Stihl MS-241 (pro$) or Stihl MS-201 (farm$$$)

I'd put an 16" on the Jonny and it won't feel so far behind and more nimble than the 362.
Stick with a 20 and 25" on the 362. Not as fun as buying a new saw but sure would be the most economical.
But if you have to have a new saw the MS241 is great choice. Love mine.

I thought about that a LOT. Was hoping with the shorter bar I could step up the sprocket but I didn’t see any option for an upgrade. If she was a real fast saw that might justify the added weight.

Cut down a crabapple with it tonight. It’s really a nice saw, and if it weren’t for already owning the 362 I’d probably be completely satisfied with it... for now.

Anyone mod a 2255?

If the 2255 is a clamshell case don't waste your $$$ on porting. You will never get any of it back. Try a muffler mod yourself.
