Stihl ms241

[gary112]

Just been to my local dealer and looked at a 241 was wondering what your thoughts are on these as i need a new small saw and liked the look of these

Had one for ?6 years now and love it.  It has much poke for such a small saw.  Run it on a 14" bar; any more and you'll lose the benefit.

Great saw,as said above great power to weight ratio,14 "bar is optimum

Need it for hedgelaying and hazel coppicing so 14" bar would be perfect,the one in shop had that on it and it felt nice and balanced

The 241 will be perfect; you can swing it about all day so those tasks will become (almost) a pleasure ☺️

If you think a 241 is tasty, try a 261.

It must have been the pockets of your strides weighed down with all the spare needle roller bearings you would need  ?
