Best chainsaw for firewood ?

[Khntr85]

Well I cut 2 big loads today on just two tanks of gas and a sharp chain with my ms250..... Walnut, locust, and Osage was what I got into today... I have a 290 and a 461, but I love the little ms250!!!!

Ya I tell ya stihlcrazy I reach for the ol trusty 250 whenever I can, she light, nimble, and pretty damn tough too... Mine wears a 18 inch bar so it helps alittle not bender over to far considering I 6'..... I damn sure would recommend the ms250 to anyone who wants a good fire wood saw.... I tell ya the main thing people have to remember is maintenance, I always am blowing off my saws and airfilters. And sharpening the chain when needed.... Helps a lot in the long run!!!!

Ya that really makes a difference I really want to get my new stihl out see how she dose only put 2 tanks threw her but it's real snappy then I am working on a 661 cm project I do run into some good size pine.that should be a fun saw probably over kill for firewood I will be close to a truck when using that or the old 038mag that thing is a tank

For size comparison is it bulkier than the 026/260

Nice I figured if and when my trusty 250 dies I may look at one of those,.... Let me know how she does for you!!!!!!

 

[Stihl_crazy]

I think they are pretty close in size

You know since I luckily only cut hardwood most of the time, I sometimes forget how big of a difference there really is between hard and softwood.... I just finished a "scrounge" job at a guys house, and to be nice I cut a pine and another softwood tree down for him, and holy sh*t the saw just screamed threw it LOL!!!!
I bet your 261 would love to get into some hickory or oak, maybe even Osage!!
