I finally decided on a saw and picked up my new MS 250 on Friday. First impression after dropping a 2 foot diameter maple and doing some limbing yesterday morning is that I made a great call - I do NOT need more power than this for what I cut. Was really happy the dealer had all his saws with non-safety chain. 2 year warrantee. Right now running Stihl conventional oil at 45:1 and using Stihl medium weight bar oil. Might possibly switch to walmart bar oil when my free jug of Stihl is gone but am thinking of staying with the stihl mix oil, especially since it has fuel stabilizer in it (although I don't keep gas longer than a month). Right now this is my only saw. thinking of buying a house in the next couple years and if I do I'll be heating with wood and at that point might add a bigger saw to my collection for blocking faster.
