just wondering who here owns one, or has used one, and what the general opinion is on this saw? people still seem to ask for the ms250 over the 251, and i'm not sure why??
I have one in the Garage that was brought to be for repair. a MS 251 C-BE the fellow who owns it yanked on the easy start so hard be broke off the little clip that holds the starting assembly together. .25 part BUT at-45c it started up just fine. Runs well and cuts very nicely. No complaints. I like the new air filter and I hope the owner of the saw realizes he just not have to really pull on the easy start a smooth fluid motion was and is more then enough to start it up.
there is definately nothing wrong with an ms250, wish i had a dollar for the 250 and 290 cutting firewood around here, as we have sold a ton of them over the years!!! they are tough saws for sure. guess i just need to demo a 251 to see what the deal is with it......I have the same phenomenon. I sell twice as many 250's as 251's, even though the 250 is $20 more. Until all the 250's are gone, I imagine it will stay that way. I don't think one is better than the other.

What you post may or may not be true, It is the biggest thing I could get to run a rim drive picco/3/8 lo profile chain. The cutting attachment is not bad. The picco class chain is significantly safer in my opinion than 0.325 brand x offers in that size class or only offers a six tooth spur. The chain brake works very well. I thought they deserved a bit of support for achieving a 300 hour epa rating.It is of course a bad model - being a cheaply made "strato" model, with added weight boosters (C-BE).
Neither the MS250 nor the 251 that I sell are C-BE models. Now that I can get MS211's without the C-BE add ons, I will be selling more of those too.It is of course a bad model - being a cheaply made "strato" model, with added weight boosters (C-BE).
the ms 231 should be coming to market here in the us soon its going to replace the ms 230.Neither the MS250 nor the 251 that I sell are C-BE models. Now that I can get MS211's without the C-BE add ons, I will be selling more of those too.
I've been wondering when it will appear. I'll probably stock it. I sold very few 230's, so I have no idea where it'll fit in.the ms 231 should be coming to market here in the us soon its going to replace the ms 230.
only thing my dealer stocks is 170,230,250I've been wondering when it will appear. I'll probably stock it. I sold very few 230's, so I have no idea where it'll fit in.
He'll be **** out of luck here pretty soon once the supplies of 170/230/250's is used up. We've had zero issues with the "low emission" saws. They seem to be holding up just as well as any of the previous generation of homeowner grade saws.only thing my dealer stocks is 170,230,250
he told me he wont order them because the new low emission saws are junk, he is such a idiot
i liked my 171 till i sold it because i got in tight spot and needed money i wouldn't mind another it had a adjustable carb and a better air filter system.He'll be **** out of luck here pretty soon once the supplies of 170/230/250's is used up.

Just curious. Why a 231 and not a 251? Just price?here is the new ms 231 i found while digging around it looks like my next saw possibly?
I bought a plain jane one a couple of years ago .........
That being said, I found this site and purchased a used 339xp for $100 less than I paid for the 251. The 339 is a couple pounds lighter, much more nimble, and cuts faster than the 251.
