The MS261 STIHL chainsaw is a professional grade chainsaw that is not only preferred by industry professionals, but is also the choice of homeowners that want quality. Due to only a $90 difference between the MS 261 and the MS 291 (which is a homeowner chainsaw), it really makes sense to make the upgrade and feel like a pro even at home.

With massive upgrades like elasto-start handle, lightweight body, decompression valve, higher quality air filter and muffler, and more horse- power, paying a $90 difference to upgrade to the STIHL MS 261 from the MS 291 not only makes sense but is also a GREAT deal!
