Recently relocated from New England to North Carolina. Property is a tangle of unmaintained Red Oak, Sweetgum, Hickory and Longleaf and Red Pine. Had to leave my saws behind.... Temporarily. =)
Anyways, got the green light to buy a MS261. Only two I've seen at dealers are labeled as "MS261C". Are they M-Tronic? Thought it should say MS261C-M....?
Also, is an 18" okay for oak on one. It will be my only saw for a few months, and there's a 24+ inch Sweetgum down across the road leading to the back of my property. Also a bunch of similar sized pines. Oaks are around 20 inches max. I've never ran an MS261, but my MS260 was so much better with a 16" ..... But that was in all hardwoods, maples, oaks, hickory, birth etc. Plus, I had the 2171BB to use for the bigger stuff. I realize that there is no comparison between the 026/260 and 261.... But 50cc
..?
I will be using it primarily as a firewood saw for main heat source. Tree to stove.
