I’m pretty sure that’s Messi, a rescue cat those folks got from a zoo. He was the runt and rejected by his mother. They have vids on youtube of him doing vat stuff, playing with their dog in the woods.wow. we should have worked with cats 20K years ago like we did with dogs. have seen several you tube vids of people that have big cats living with them. most seem to be from russia. what does that mean?

Any opinion on the MS 251 for retired guy needing to cut about six cords of wood year.
Every dog should have a pet catYep terrible pets......(disclaimer I have had heelers almost my whole life and very aware of the way they need to be started and handled). Every one of ours has been a complete family dog. He loves his buddy cat they sleep together and try to destroy the house together. They will chase each other across the top of the couch also.

The saw snob in me wants to tell you to buy a MS261C and buy once, cry once.View attachment 8341021

Or just buy the pre mixed stuff. Technically more expensive but last way longer and doesn’t have all the shit that gunks up your fuel system.The saw snob in me wants to tell you to buy a MS261C and buy once, cry once.
But I have an old MS250 that has been my ATV saw and it has been great. Just DO NOT run Stihl Ultra oil, buy the 6 pack to get the extra years of warranty and then pour it in your diesel truck or tractor and use Echo Red Armor or something.
Get the 261 with a 20 inch bar so you don't have to bend over as far when you are working.The saw snob in me wants to tell you to buy a MS261C and buy once, cry once.

Step up to the ms261. 3/8 RS chain. Use sta-bil. Keep your chain sharp and the rakers filed.View attachment 8341021

Wisdom from the Woodchuck thread is generally 261cm. More power and lighter. It's what I got. Join us over there.View attachment 8341021

Still have my 1991 vintage 044 with a 28” bar on it. Can’t count the number of miles it’s traveled or the trees it’s cut, let alone the miles of fire line. With a little TLC I expect it to outlast me/my ability. Now I need to get a replacement for my Homelite XL16 The shops can’t get parts for it anymore.In Stihl saws, pro saws are designated by the second number being even.

They are typically lighter with more power and are build to last without a clamshell plastic engine case like the homeowner/ranch saws.
Like I said before I have a 250 that I have used a lot (Aftermarket carb because the factory carb sucks balls) and it would easily cut firewood every year.
That said, my 261C will run circles around it. It’s twice the money.
The 362, it is heavy for the power. It will shred firewood if you don’t mind a little extra weight. It isn’t a great woods saw though. Mine runs strong.
271 and 291 are heavy for the performance and are clamshell designs but will do well in a firewood pile. Same saw different displacement.
A MS261C (Mtronic) is my advice for a lifetime saw. 18” 325 bar is the sweet spot. Keep the chain sharp to keep it from over-revving and burning up and run Red Armor at 40:1 (I run 32:1 in all and know it’s probably overkill) And it will outlast you.
A 251 with a sharp chain and good oil will probably outlast you too honestly so no shame in getting one.
I have a 241C, 261C, 362C, 440M and a 250, 291….a 500i before long.

Got a 361 back in 2005ish, great saw. It's heavy, but it dampens vibrations. Zero problems with it.In Stihl saws, pro saws are designated by the second number being even.

Yep. Got this one several years ago and never looked back.No matter the brand or size saw, a sharp chain is faster and safer. If the chain is dull, you work the power head harder and get fatigued sooner. Keep the rakers touched up too.
Get ya one of these and never look back....View attachment 8341021

Pre-coffee thought… maybe McRib is just getting out on parole once in a while?

I don't see what the hype is all about. Tried one the first time they came out. Sauce sucked and the meat had a strange texture
