Hahaha...good stuff at the end! Nice little comparison...the 261 is like 'the' firewood saw for sure...at least that's what I've heard. My allegiance lies with another model....LOL 😀 👍 🍻
I totally understand your allegiance, and rightfully so. The 261 is probably the best power to weight ratio saw made, but definitely not enough power for some of that big wood you get.
Just bought a 261cm to pair with my 170, Friday!
Almost 60 years old an it's my first pro saw.
Great to see pop out there having some fun!
I absolutely love the 261, it's my favorite lightweight firewood saw.
I also own a Stihl MS 260 that has been in storage for several years, and I am getting ready to sell it, as I don't need it anymore. So I came across this video of yours to brush up on how to start and run it again, as it has been a while. Thank you for sharing this! 👍
Very affordable parts online.
Nice showing.....we have similar saw choices......I run the ms 260, ms 362 and the ms 500i. All three have their spots to shine 👍👏🪵🪓🔥
Yes they do all have their time they shine
Awesome seeing your Dad have some fun man. Im buying a 462 to replace the 20yo 390 my dad left me
Your going to love that saw!
Nice video! The radar looked bad for you guys, glad your back ok, looking forward to getting out, snows almost waist deep here,,, got to see a fishing video of yours, awsome! Looking forward to seeing more!
We got a lot rain, luckily no severe weather like they were calling for.
There’s a lot of untapped potential in the old 026 saws. A simple muffler mod wakes them up pretty decent. Add some mild porting and advance the ignition timing a little and it will out cut a 261. All great saws though.
I really enjoy your videos. I have the 261 also, it's a great saw. Looking to move up in size. A local dealer suggested the 661 because I mentioned using it as a chainsaw mill on the occasional tree. Man, talk about a hefty price tag! Keep those videos coming! 👍
The 661 would be my recommendation too if you are going to mill. You'll need those extra ccs. Thanks for watching!
Great video, I’ve got a 260, hasn’t done much, looking to get a 362, 462 or maybe a 261… they’re all good.
261 and 462/500 are the best power to weight saws they make in my opinion. Skip the 362
Ending was soooo good. Lol. Miss my dad so much. Enjoy sir. Great saw, maybe I can one day
Thanks for watching
Nice I had a 260, now i have a 311 which has been worked on a little bit, its not 462 but it will cut, nice comparison I am a Stihl fan for sure, nice vid, stay dry
Thanks for watching Mr Harry
Im an Echo fan, my two climbing saws are an Echo 303T and a 355T and both are screamers! I just bought a Echo CS501P and cant wait to use it. I liked it better than the Husquvarna 550xp and a Sthil 261 (I think). Price was over 200 bucks cheaper and same features and lighter. Love the videos!
I've always heard great things about echo! There are a lot of great brands out there.
Do you remember what type of wood you guys cut up in this video? Especially the larger rounds on the right side of the screen when you’re leaning up against the trailer full of logs? Is that sap in the logs creating that dark look in the logs?
We cut mixed oak (mostly water oak) that day. The big rounds in my trailer was hickory from my uncles.
Still not completely sold on the Mtronic's. Nice video, making sawdust.
I get it, but they have been out several years and it seems all the bugs are worked out. I bought from a very large dealer that I've known for decades. He highly recommended them, says he has not seen Mtronic issues in years.
just curious.. do you ever put paint marks on your cutting bar so you can just flip the saw sideways to put the tip at your cutting length. like a ruler on the side of the cutting bar.
I do not, I've always just cut whatever length in the past due to burning in big fire pits. Length was never a concern. Now that I am starting to sell firewood, I'm using the Mingo paint marker for precise measuring. I'll be showing it off again next week.
Great video Andrew! Your Dad knows his saws!
Stihl family!
Really impressed with the 261!
I think it is a perfect saw!
Dad was having some fun at the end. Lol.
Yes he was!
Good for him. LoL. It was funny
Very nicely done!
Thank you!
261 is a great saw , it really is the firewood saw . Best saw I’ve ever owned . Light and like you said power to weight .
It's the perfect saw!
Nice video! Can wait to get out!
Thanks
I love my ms261 for firewood. Sounded like your dad liked the ms462
Oh he loves that 261, it's sweet! But yes it's nice to pick up a bigger saw and watch it rip!
I think the ms 462 had the most cutting power and your papa’s ms 261 cm had the next awesome cutting power . I have a ms 362 and my saw cuts very nice too !
That's also a great saw!
It also has a "bark box" on it.
Your dad was having a good time with that big ripper. That was awesome!
Yes he was! I love that saw! Hope you are doing well Chris! Take care
Nice comparison
Thanks for watching
I just ordered a new 260. They are made in Brazil still, and it's brand new. I'm planning on opening the muffler up a bit, and getting it ported later. I've seen some clips with a ported 260, and it revs crazy, it will match the stock 261, if not beat it :D
Wow didn't know they still offered them. Ported and opened up it should definitely outrun the 261.
@@TKCL In Hungary, they don't sell them, but people bring them in from Ukraine, wher they are allowed to be sold. Ben Hall has the best ms 260 video I've seen, if you are curious about what that saw is capable of.
I wish I could buy new 260s, That 260 sounded weak with just a muffler mod it should out run the 261. Have no idea where he came up with the .5hp gain over the 260?
@@iffykidmn8170 Where are you located?
@@adamnagy1439 Minnesota, USA
A man couldn’t go wrong with either saw , but that 462 is a beast , that last part of the video was hilarious haha , that’s every dad right there , they do their own thing , great video brother, god bless
Ha ha yes they do!
Will the 261 clutch cover fit thw ms260
I am not sure to be honest, they do look a lot different. I'd say no
fell into your channel couple weeks ago looking for reviews on 260s, really enjoying your videos ... wish I had need of a 70cc+ the 462 looks a lot of fun, regards from the UK
Love my old 260, but that 462 is on another level! It's a mean saw!
@@TKCL shocked how quick the 261 was over the 260, might have a very early Christmas treat there ... need at least 2 don't ya ;-)
Oh boy I do really want a 261, but I just can't justify it. I can't seem to kill the 260.
@@TKCL why I picked up a really mint 2009 260, because they live forever n see me out .. hope the 261 have the same longevity, keep up the good work really enjoying the show :-)
The great thing about the 260 is a rebuild is super cheap, so if I ever kill mine, I'll rebuild it immediately!
That 261 does seem like a step up from the older model. Didn't think it would be that noticable. Unfortunately, it usually isn't the case with most "newer" models of other products.
I'm finding these new Stihls to be lighter and more powerful than the models they replace. Hopefully longevity isn't compromised, time will tell.
@@TKCL 261 is heavier than 260 but more powerful of course. Great video.
if it involves a stihl saw or the john deere i thoroughly enjoy it stihl and the green n yellow is all I buy
Think I know what dad wants for Christmas! Lol. You may not of got it back! Lol! Enjoyed it Andrew!
Lol, luckily the new hasn't worn off of his 261 yet!
@@TKCL lol, I hear ya!
You're doing a Good job helping the old man he rise you right .
Thank you!
You are right that 261 sounds badass.
It does! I was shocked at the difference in sound!
@@TKCL Sorry pounding you with replys. Im catching up !!
Very cool video.
Thanks
That ending bro. I had to laugh. good comparison
Lol, it's like he didn't want me to film my outro.....
Lol got me laughing at the end hahaha 🤣
😁
i like your saw more Andrew!
Thanks, it's a beast! I smile everytime I run it!
@@TKCL I bet you do, it looks like a really good saw every vid you do with it!
When you were using the 260 and the cookies were taking off you looked like a kid on Christmas!!
Haha, more like a fat boy that loves cookies. Me and dad were both laughing at how far they were going, probably had one go over 50ft away.
Ya know anytime you are out cutting firewood with your old man is a good day! My dear old Dad is thousands of miles away.
Yes it is!
Your 462 saw is definately the ultimate firewood saw
I think so
All good saws, but for the money and what most of us will use it for, that new 261 seems to be the way to go. I think your dad may be taking over your big saw, you better go back and get it before it walks off.
Lol, he loves my 462.... But that 261 is the cats meow! No better saw for money, power and weight in my opinion than the 261.
@@TKCL It's to bad that Stihl discontinued the 044's same power to weight ratio as the 26 series but in a 70cc saw.
I was thinking about upgrading my 271 to a 261
That's exactly what my dad just did and he says the 261 feels a lot stronger than the 271...
I kind of wish I hadn’t watched this. Now I want a 462 😩
Lol that's how it started for me!
Looks like that rain has stalled right over y’all!
Yes it has, grilling right now in the shop with it pouring outside.
My Buddy 👍👍👍
A double take of Bobby!
You may have lost your saw to your Dad!! Thanks for the video
Oh he loves it, he really does. But his 261 is a sweet saw too, he's really enjoying the lightweight and power of it.
You need to reset the mtronic so it will start better
Curious why the m tronic when you can still get an old school carb, shave the limiters off the jets then have complete and total adjustment.
I would bet a LOT that the chipped saws run slightly lean to meet emissions, as does the standard carb until you get rid of the limiter tab.
In theory, I would think running a little bit in the fatter side would give you more longevity. If not, at least you wouldn't have to bring to an authorized dealer to be plugged in like a car if you're having issues and the reset doesn't fix whatever's going on.
IDK why I'm even saying this ha ha... I guess I'm just really curious because I literally would not but a chainsaw, dirt bike, snowmobile, anything 2 smoker without full access to carb adjustability.
Like your vids! I just got myself a 462 and another 261, yup I like it so much I had to have two 🤦🏼♂️
Because my dealer who I trust greatly and I've been dealing with since a kid swears by the M tronic saws. He said they were extremely reliable and he had very little issues with them.
That ms462 is about the most fun you can have with your clothes on!
Isn't that the truth! I love love love that saw!
Well I think you should up grade to the 500i
Lol absolutely no need! Not much to gain if any
man that 462 is badder than any 500i i see on other channels. Dont think your dad was ready for the video to end lol.
The 500i spec wise is a more powerful saw, but I think the 462 will hold its own against one in most situations. Great choice either way! Yes dad still wanted to play at the end of the day lol.
Ms260 the best saw
Hard to beat
I live at 5800 feet elevation & the 261 would not restart for me when hot. Took it back to dealer 4 times, they couldn't get it to restart when hot either - eventually refunded my $'s
Wow hate to hear that! Dad brags that his starts in one pull when hot. All three of my saws are the same way.
Looks like your dad might have to get himself a ms462c now LoL 👍😆
Ha ha, he really likes it! But the hasn't worn off his 261 yet.
😊You had me at stihl chainsaw 👊💪👍🇺🇸🍺
Haha that's right! It's an addiction we can't kick!
Your Dad may just get himself a new saw like the one you have, ha.
You never know! But he is loving his new 261!
CHAPS MAN !!!!!
Yes yes yes, I kind of forgot them!
No chainsaw pants. Just a little dangerous.
Come on now, going to leave the same comment on every video 🤷🤷
You bought a stihl ms 261? Or its not your.
No that's my dad's new saw, I just wanted to compare it to my old 260
@@TKCL i bought the 261 and it arrives tomorrow. Im so happy.
Excellent saw, you should love it!
