I don't know, you might never pick up the 241 again if you bought a 261
This :rolleyes:.
Funny thing... I had the 261 v1 about 2.5 years ago. I was thoroughly unimpressed with it running a 16" bar and 3/8 RS. Ended up trading up to the 362. But that was when I "needed" a saw. Now that I have options, and it seems the 461 (which WILL get traded as soon as the 462 becomes available) gets the majority of use...

Ive got an itch that I have thus far been able to control.....
VsII isn't any more impressive, but it gets point's for looking cool.
I honestly thought based on what everyone was saying about it I'd be wanting to sell all the 50cc huskys, I sold it 2 weeks after getting it with zero regrets. My 550 did everything it does and felt lighter in my hands. I am more a husky guy though so that may be opposite for stihl guys, just another modern day 50cc saw in my book, nothing that will blow your mind.
I’ll put my ported 241 up against anything in its vicinity. It will eat a stock 261s lunch. Sucker just spins so fast it’s stupid. I have many videos on another site.

Don’t come to the dark side fellas, it will ruin ya.
:laugh: You run any huskies yet buddy :cheers:.
For most it comes down to personal preference, and dealer support, I'm not most :D.
For me I look at lots of factors such as fuel economy, vibes, and noise level, and resale value(this is the main reason I buy stihls at all).
You know I "have to have" many different saws for any occasion that could arise, you just don't know so it's better to be prepared :cool:.
 
I just got in the habit of buying every thing in pairs. I just happen to have two craftsmen which hardly ever start, two large Stihls, two ms 270 which I hate, two 460,s xtra torque, along with the other assortments. If you get one it could break so best get two. Thanks
I like this way of thinking. I used to be that way when I farmed and worked in town also. Now that I have retired from town and just farm when I am buying supplies I have to rethink quantity's.

Saws are like socks, they’re supposed to be in pairs. I’m short a 490, getting the shakes.
 
Besides... This is all I have left to cut.... Then the saws will be tucked away for awhile.

Doesn't look like much room to swing the logs to the table.
With the bota and that stihl you should only have a couple hrs if you have the whole crew going at it.
Are those Christmas lights above/behind the logs. I'm looking for some nice outdoor lights, we currently have a bunch of Christmas lights around the bonfire pit.
