I'm quite sure you meant to say pies, but other than that your story is reasonably accurate.
Are you sure it isn't bacon?

Well i will agree that a smaller saw is easier to manuever and handle. I'm just a firewooder and very few oaks i cut are 12 inch. Most 24 to 30ish accross. And some bigger. I also can prove that with a few threads i have started here before. So a bigger saw is what i need, not a homeowner stihl. Untill you know what kind and size of trees a homeowner cuts, you can't say they don't need a pro saw. and whats up with being a member since 2006 and only having 34 post?

If being responsible is hostile, I'm hostile then. If I was a dealer no occasional user would walk out the door with a MS660, he/she would be carrying a saw engineered for the occasional user no more no less.

occasional use, commercial use, and professional use.
Any more questions? :hmm3grin2orange:
This shows your research is flawed. I can show you towns in WI that will beat the pants off this:• Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada has the largest number of bars per capita than anywhere else in the world.
• You are more likely to get attacked by a cow than a shark.
I have no agenda.

OP here...I can't believe the discussion that this thread has generated...I have decided to buy a 251 if they come out before September. If not, I will buy a 261. Luckily my house is in a field, and the biggest tree in my back 5 is 14", and if I get into anything over my head at the shack I can just go back and have a sauna. I will not be buying a 10' pro saw in case my neighbor has a mammoth tree fall on his house, and I promise to wear chaps. Can we just get back to muffler mods, chains for the 251, or something useful?
