max power Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Got a new Stihl for christmas. MS250. Not a pro unit, but should be perfect for what I need it for. The one in top in the second pic is my mid 90's McCulloch Timber Bear. It is a 55cc power head with a 20" bar and needs the carb cleaned. Runs good otherwise and has a good chain. It is for sale. Feel free to post up a pic of your badass or POS saw. Edited January 20, 2014 by max power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue-yamaR6s Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Congrats!!! That is a great saw...I have the same one as well. I have had it about 10 years now come to think of it. I did have my local dealer put the better chain on it to make it a meat eater!!! I have not had any real trouble with it. I cut a lot of wood every year to burn in the wood stove. I sometimes wish it had a bigger bar on it. My Dad has a McCullough and cannot get carburator parts for it. Runs like a dog without it. Actually cannot use it at all.

max power Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Really? It has the walbro HDB. They are pretty easy to find. I was gonna rebuild it and keep it, but don't see any reason to now that I took the MS180 back that the wife got me for Christmas and exchanged it for this 250.

blue-yamaR6s Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I forget which exact model he has, but I spent quite a while looking for it online and had no luck. It was a model that was not made very much and I even emailed one place and they couldn't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCQTT Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I run an MS362. It is a beast power wise, but very heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alansz400 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Nice saw. Stihls are great saws. I have been heating my house 90% with wood for the last 7 winters cutting all the wood with a MS270 that I bought new. It has cut a ton of wood and is on its 3rd bar. It still runs great. My boy started cutting last fall with my MS180 and I wanted a saw with more power so I gave him the 270 and I bought a MS362. Right after I bought it the weather turned to crap and have not got to use it. This spring its going to get a good work out the wood supply is taking a real hit this winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
