    MS241C Discontinued 2+ years ago?!

    Believe it or not I just kept doing a internet search all different ways. The way it finally popped up was “MS-241 in stock”. I had about 6-8 hits so called everyone. Lol

    MS241C Discontinued 2+ years ago?!

    The main reason I like it is because its about 1lb. lighter than the MS-261 and still rocks powerwise. From what I do 1lb is huge after a days work. But I can see for some it may not be enough difference to be a issue. Both are great saws though.

    MS241C Discontinued 2+ years ago?!

    I believe it was $539 plus tax plus a new Stihl saw case. I still can't believe they discontinued this saw for the US. Its the best small unit I've ever ran in my life. The little saw that could......

    MS241C Discontinued 2+ years ago?!

    This is a old thread but been looking for this saw (MS-241 c-m) for two weeks now. I may have found the last one in the USA. LOL. Found it near Tampa FL. The company has 17 stores and only 1 unit left in stock. Thankfully a relative lives near by and just picked it up for me. I feel like I...

    echo cs-400 vs. stihl ms-250

    Hmm ok so seems to make sense. Maybe this is why the dealers can’t or won’t fix. I’ll dig into further tomorrow to see what I can find out. Thanks

    echo cs-400 vs. stihl ms-250

    By the way tell me more about the limiter caps. So when I purchased the cs-400 new in 2015 it ran great. Very smooth and snappy. Then after about 5-10 hours of use it was hard to start, has to idle like forever before will take fuel and or will not stay running. Now during last use in 35F...

    echo cs-400 vs. stihl ms-250

    Yes they do but none are shipped to the US market. This is from their Qingdao factory in China. But this factory only supplies the Asia markets with power tools. All professional series saws and many other high end products are manufactured in Germany and shipped around the world. All home...

    echo cs-400 vs. stihl ms-250

    your correct it is entirely BS. Every Stihl product comes with lined engine bores are rated higher than 50hours. The 50hr rating is for low end Poulan and the old Homelite equivalents. Far below either the Echo or Stihl products. By the way If anyone is interested I can share a John Deere...

    echo cs-400 vs. stihl ms-250

    I don’t work there but I do sell a lot of injection molding equipment to them and have for years now so have spent a great deal of time onsite. The reason I found this post is I was at two dealers today looking at saws and both dealers had both products on hand to compare to each another. Both...

    stihl ms 250 or echo CS-400?

    My Cs-400 sucks. Nothing but problems and no one can fix it. Very frustrating and has 20 hours or less. I’m sure some are fine but please don’t say none have issues. Lol

    echo cs-400 vs. stihl ms-250

    Sorry your totally wrong on this. I work with Stihl in Virginia Beach VA and have for years now. The MS-250’s are produced almost weekly at this facility and is one of their highest selling products. This plant has over 1million square feet and is very impressive to see in person. So it’s...

    Air spade work pricing and effectiveness

    Hello ATH, Just wanted to say thank you. I ended up speaking with both Brian at McCullough's and Lola which both were very helpful. Brian gave me a price that is much better than Davey so i'm very happy and now can afford the job. Thanks again.

    Air spade work pricing and effectiveness

    No I wish I took pics before I left but can tell you that all three were planted around 1995 before I knew how to plant seedlings which is why they have issues now. 2 of the trees show no signs of their root collar but the dirt around them is level. The worst tree appears to have a sort of...

    Air spade work pricing and effectiveness

    Yes that’s correct these trees were planted to deep and they don’t know how bad the roots have grown up around the trunk of the tree till they remove the dirt to see. Problem I have is Davie tree is the only company I can find to do the work. Any idea how to find someone else in my area? I...
