I ran my new MS 251 for the 1st time today. What a saw! Starts and cuts like a dream ;-)

I pick up my wood boss Stilh chainsaw tomorrow from a John Deere dealer. They must have been sold out.....I live in mid Michigan and he said they was getting a shipment in from St. Louis. I can't wait!! Great video by the way! God bless.

Best saw that I ever had. Good price and great performance. I’ve owned huscavarna, home light, Mc Cullouch. This one’s the best

I just bought one today brand new thanks for the help

Great review. Quick and to the point.

I bought one today , got mine at ace hardware i believe i paid a few dollars more buying it there but so far a awesome saw. Thanks for the video!

Love mine. Just keep chain sharp and oiled. Use correct mix, too.

I own the 251. Its great 💯. But then i bought a 271. It cuts TWICE as fast and 2x easier 😊

I bought a used ms 250 , but didn’t have as much power as the pro saw I enjoy my Sthil chainsaw . Then I bought a ms 362 and I really enjoy it better than the home owner saws !

Good video. And great looking property. We ate just starting our tree farm, and we have a new KZfaq channel about it. what’s really interesting is that I bought the exact same model of chainsaw too I subscribed and look forward to seeing how your farm and your channel grow

I have been looking into this saw. Your video convinced me. I'll check one out tomorrow.

Good solid review bro 👍🏾

I just bought this saw today. Only, it had built in chain tighten'er 16 inch. I have the ability to bring down a 22inch anything with this saw!

I had my 251 for about 4 years. Pushed it in some big 32in oaks (cutting from both sides) it still did a great job but was slow lol.. I've pushed it to its limits and still goes strong. Now I got a 362 for bigger stuff and going to put a 16 on my 251 now so it will rip more with a shorter bar on smaller stuff.

Thanks

Been looking for a chainsaw. Been bouncing between 251, 271, and the 291. Mainly I want one for when I come across a downed tree after a storm or bad snow.

I think you skipped one small detail on the starting sequence. After it starts in the half-choke position, blip the throttle and you will notice the lever moves up slightly into the “run” position. (At least that’s how my MS251 works).

Nice review. I have the same saw

Buying a 250 because of this

Thank you

I just bought a used MS 251 for $160.00 I plan to use an 18'' bar. Yes, it's used but I couldn't beat the price. I also have an MS 180c with a 16'' bar.

good job

Just got myself one 💪

What would be the difference between the M S 250 and the 251

2 years after this video. Any update on it?

It weighs over 15#with bar and chain, fuel and bar oil. That 10# weight that Stihl lists in their specs is just for the powerhead, without bar and chain and gas and oil. These will add close to 5# to the operating weight. The 251 is a light saw, as saws go, but it is not a lightweight. Most of my saws weigh over 20# in an operating condition. If you want a light saw get an MS 170 or 171. Mine will do everything your 251 can do. I do have an MS 251, too.

ive had my MS 251 for over a year but have never started it. Its testing my patience. LOL

Mine survived a fire with installation not burned

Is your 251 hard to pull over? I have been running it on .Stihl Ultra but recently switched over to Echo Red Armor @ 50:1 and it has become almost impossible for me to pull it over. If I switch back to Stihl Ultra I can crank it, but using Red Armor it is almost impossible for me to pull it over. Even using Stihl Ultra it is still a pita to pull over. IfI warm the saw up to over 80 degrees I can eventually get it running. It is not the saw, because it runs great when I get it running. I have owned it six years and have 21 tanks on it. I will say it has not cut a lot of wood because I own to many saws that are much easier to start. Do you have any thoughts? I own lots of big saws and they are much easier to start than this little sucker. I am not used to having my butt kicked by a 45 cc saw🤪

Stihl 251 what year ?

Stihl is about as good as a Poulan. Everyone has bad things to say about Husqvarna well stop going to hardware stores and buying them go to a Husqvarna dealer and ask for an XP then you will have yourself a real saw. One of thing you don't wiggle the saw back and forth it's a power saw not a hand saw those teeth at the end of the bar right below the exhaust are dogs let the one on the bottom catch the tree and then let the saw do the work the dogs eliminate the wiggling and help it stay stationary but for real try an XP and then see how you feel about it

If the US really wants freedom from the British then this independence day please throw away quarts, ounce, pounds and gallon out of the window and get real with kg, mils and litres.

Sthil sucks
