40cc pro saw king

[Frank Rizzo]

I didn't vote, since I'm not a full time professional, or have experience with more than one of these saws. But if I had to pick I'd go for the MS241CM.

Didn't know that meant I had an inflated ego though. I just thought I liked chainsaws.

What's your professional opinion....about the saws?

241c wise choice !

Is this thread intended for proffesionels or "just" excited homeowners with inflated egos ???

Its for a gorilla with a black kitty that likes massaging his ego.

Husqvarna killed the 40cc class 6 year ago when they introduced 550.
The only two things a 40cc saw has left is fuel economic and some of them is a tad more compact compared against a modern 50cc saw.

Well, this little guy feels left out...(ECHO 390ESX AKA Shindaiwa 390SX)

Only just got her to test out and carve with. I'll give a review once she's settled in.

The 40cc class is not really a pro saw class for most of it's sales. Even Stihl dealers complain they can't sell 241's when there's 261's and 550's and 501SX's out there. Most folks looking for a 40cc saw want light and affordable. And if they have a bit less power, they are OK with it because it's not meant to be a powerful saw. But it IS meant to be an affordable saw, which neither the MS241, 550XP or 545, or MS261 are for most land owners and carvers.

Choices listed above

There are other saws in the 38/40cc range that are equal if not superior

There are3 locals to me that use Stihl 241c for their fire wood cutting & I cut more wood with an Oleo Mac 244f it could be down to more knowledge (Full time occupation ) sharper chain, better chain oiling ,But please keep taking the powders it leaves more saws for the great unwashed non brain washed

What kind of money do you have in that little saw,I bet it’s over $900 unless you ported it yourself.little 420 Dolmar would be right there with it for $250 less

Let see the video of the 420 and I’ll be the judge of that !

Surely you don’t think that a Stihl is the only fast saw made or can be made faster
