Ideal Stihl Ground Saw

[Mattn]

What saw would people recommend as an ideal ground saw? 

 

Thinking along the lines of ms241, ms261 or ms362? 

 

What are the pros/cons of each one.

 

Cheers

Why does it have to be Stihl?

All thoose 3 are good for different usage though ms241 seem too similar in price to ms261 to be worth it.

 

What are you planning on using the saw for?

 

...and do you only want 1 saw as idealy its best to have different ones for different uses etc....

It depends entirely upon what size timber you want to cut regularly.

261 is amazingly light but it's a 50cc saw

just sold my 261 and gone to a 362... and Steve my have touched it

comes down to what size timber you need to cut and how much weight you wanna carry around

How do you compare it to the 500i mate, post mods?

funny u should say that as i said to steve it feels similar to a 500i in the cut with how it holds its revs

Or a 400 which is similar weight to a 362 but more power, think more money too.

It's an extra kg on top of 261.

I think this is a trick question, depends entirely on what you are doing.

I just want one of every saw! You can never have too many.
