I had an MS290 that somehow managed to cook a crank bearing. I have parts on the way and will be fixing it and selling it. In the meantime, I just got what I think is a decent deal on a new MS261. Paid list price of $610 but got a case and 6-pack of oil thrown in with it ($75 value). I cut about 20-25 pulp cord (50-63 Face cord?) of 5-18" hardwood a year for my Dad at least, and now that I just bought a house it will be going up to heat my garage. I got it with the 16" bar since I have an 18" I can steal off my MS290 (It will fit, right?). Also, I'm 21 and would like to have a saw last most of my lifetime, hence the pro saw option.
Does this seem like a decent purchase or did I go way overboard for my needs?
Thanks!
