My new MS241cm has shipped!

[flyinlow]

My local dealer called at "10" this morning to tell me the 241 was in stock and was shipping today. I wonder how many of the AS members are going to buy one. The list price is $550. It should be delivered to me on Friday. I think I'll cut wood this weekend!

Been waiting on that saw to be available.
Please post your thoughts after using it this weekend. Should be a good weekend to cut.

This saw will be on it's way to Ohio very soon. Then Brad can tell everyone what he thinks.

I'm waiting for my dealer to be able to get them. Which distributor did yours come through? My dealer has northeast Stihl. I'm going to my dealer tomorrow about a couple parts, looks like I'm asking about the MS241CM while I'm there.

What's the price going to be on them?

 

[flyinlow]

The distributor for Kansas is in Mo. but I don't know the name. I've waited for two years for the 241-- I believe it's light weight and M-tronic carb. will be a winner. It will be great teamed with the 261cm Brad just did for me.

I believe it's supposed to be $550, but prices on most Stihl saws just jumped around here, so it may be more.

That is excellent news for you guys in the states. The 241C is a great little saw. For those that don't know I've used one extensively in smaller trees and by the end of the day I had 10% more trees on the ground with the 241 than my MM'd 550XP just through fuel economy alone.
They really are an awesome little saw and anybody I know that has owned or run one has been impressed. In my view (and others) they are a far better saw than the 261 and are physically much smaller than the weight would suggest.
Personally I run .325" and a 16" bar but don't be shy in clean conditions running 3/8"LP. The PS3 cuts like a hot knife through butter on a 16" bar and in cleaner wood is definitely the better choice, trust me Stihl also make 3/8"LP rim sprockets for this saw and remember they are a mini/micro spline rim. Small spline rims won't fit like the 550XP and some 261's etc.

How does it compare to the old 024? I really like the 024 with a .325" and 16" bar.

Sorry but I've never even seen an 024 so haven't had the chance to run one.

I would think it would hand it it's a$$. The 241 is pretty close in horsepower to what the 026/260 was. From what I have seen in some videos it plain CUTS !

Damn, still not available for us. Those should fit a niche market for the homeowners that want a high performance commercial grade saw that weighs like an MS 250.
