Put a 16” bar on whatever you buy, and run semi chisel chain if your in to part dirty and damp woods is another bit of good advice for your circumstances i rekon, good look [emoji106] keep us informed.

As above, the makita is 1.3kg heavier than the 241, granted it has more power etc but your only playing at home. You can match the power of the makita if thats what sways you with a 261 and only add .4 kg to the weight of what a 241 is, that puts the 261 at .9 kg lighter than the makita. Both antivibe figures come in a lump less on the stihl too than the makita which can help towards those achey fingers at the end of a logging session too. I’m not a pro but do favour stihl over other brands, just my opinion, thats not to say that the makita etc arent great saws. Money wise and suitability for your needs i think the sthil fits your bill.

Stihl lists the 241 to run a 14” 16” or 18” but i think you’ll be fine with the 16” and would be nicely balanced too. You can cut from the other side remember if your log is 18”-20” thick, so no need for big engines and big bars, think of your body. Swinging more than needed weight and power everyday means more time having hot baths from aches and pains etc. Go to the dealer and hold one of each, get a feel, or as some have offered on the forum pay them a visit and have an actual cut. Choice is yours though [emoji106]

The 241 would do what you need it to do i rekon.

Has it got the metal plate that sits over the studs against the crankcase fitted? It sits between the bar and crankcase, looks like the pic below.

Would imagine dealer should sort that if still under warranty and they are to fit the new carb anyhow. -
Kubota compact towing weights and feedback
Ratman replied to Somerset Sam's topic in Large equipment
If your towing up steep hills in winter then i wouldnt worry about your max towing weight as you’ll never be able to achieve it anyhow, you’ll only be loading to your conditions. The towing weight may differ on them depending on the type of hitch the tractor is wearing. If you have a few dealers around you then just give them a call, they’ll be able to give you info on a few different scenarios no doubt. -
Gardenkit did a good bash about these in a thread back in 2012, he rated them highly but worried for anyone buying one regards parts and back up cos there was no dealer listed for them in the uk back then. May be different now as 8yrs+ on, sure he’ll be along at some point to refresh his thoughts [emoji106]
