I need some advice/opinions from the experts, as I am not one. I just bought 12.5 acres that is all woods, scattered pine and hardwood. I plan on spending weekends out there clearing out a road to the housesite and clearing around 2 acres where the house will eventually sit. I am getting ready to purchase a new chainsaw and I had my mind set on the MS261cm until I spoke with the dealer. They have the MS291 w a 20" bar for $490 and the Ms261cmwith 20" bar for $620. I was told that the only difference between the two is the weight and that the best buy was the MS291. I have done some research on this and have read differently. What do the experts think?
