Sold Stihl MS260 Pro, oem, excellent condition

[benny3411]

Looking to sell my very nice Stihl MS260 Pro, which I will most definitely regret selling at some point. All oem, low mileage, starts right up, idles smooth, adjustable oiler works as should. New 16" bar and chain, .325 .063. I dont use chain tensioners on my saws, forgot to take pictures with it back in, the original chain tensioner will be included. $350 + shipping

Nice one!

Nice looking saw. GLWS. What's the thought behind not using a tensioner? Do you just pull it tight and clamp the clutch cover down?

I found not using a chain tensioner from others here. Its so much easier and nicer without one. If using anything longer than a 24" Ill put it back in. Just pull out on bar till chain looks good, then just barely tighten a nut, spin the chain around to see if it still looks good, if a little saggy, just wiggle bar out till it tightens up again, and then tighten up the nuts

Interesting. First time I've heard it mentioned. How does that technique do with the rakers dropped in some real hard wood? I know how hard my saws can jerk sometimes.

So far so good, Ive had them out of my saws for about two years now, havent had any problems with my saws without the chain tensioners. As long as the bar nuts are tight

The chain tensioners are weak and do not hold the bar in place once the bar nuts are tightened. I find the chain tensioners quite useful and see no reason to remove them.

Just wanted to post a follow up here. @benny3411 was awesome to work with, shipped exactly as stated in the posts. I’ve run at least 50 tanks through this saw with zero issues. If anyone is looking to make a purchase from @benny3411, I recommend him.

Also, if you’re considering an ms260 pro, stop considering and buy one! Great saw that can do just about anything from cleaning up old fruit trees to felling and bucking a 2 1/2 ft diameter oak.

That is a beauty of a saw, i sold a new one in box a very long ago. Great saws, very light and nimble, adjustable oiler, decomp not really needed, and yours also has adjustable H screw on carb which some did not. Great its got a life of use. I know some were selling built up ones from parts, but i really prefer original ones with the sticker on the handle which included model, cc, and date of manufacture.
