I have a small ecological restoration company here in WI and I'm looking for a "larger" saw to handle the occasional larger tree that we have to deal with. Most of what we cut is small diameter brush; buckthorn and honeysuckle that rarely gets larger than 4" in diameter. We also clear weedy understory trees like boxelder, ash, elm, cherry, maple, maybe harder woods like walnut and black locust on occasion.
Anyhow, right now I am running a MS200 and an MS250. I'm looking to move the MS250 into a back-up saw or dirty work roll since it hasn't been the most reliable for me. I find the MS200 ideal for the work we do since it is light enough to use all day, fast enough to cut through thin branches quickly and has enough power for the occasional 8" cherry. But obviously its too expensive to have a lot of these around.
I'll probably get a MS192 and/or a MS 260 Pro for small and mid range work, but we occasionally have to cut larger trees, up to 20" and on rare occasion we have to deal with even larger deadfalls. The 250 isn't really up to this sort of work. I would like to get a "big" saw, maybe like the MS362, but that's a lot of money for a saw which only be put to use on occasion. Is the 260 Pro significantly more powerful than the 250? Are there some other options I should consider?
