What is the sound level differance in these two model's? You state that in some of your other compairison viedos and I was just curious bucoaus its not menitoned in this video. thanks in advance.
Spend the extra $400 and get the pro saw. 261. If you are not experienced run the semi chiseled chain(green) then later move up to full chisel(yellow) and learn how to sharpen them. The 261 with full chisel blows chunks and will surprise you as to how well it cuts. Good luck!
Poor choice both of these for homeowner use (which these vids are targeted to). They cost way too much, homeowner saws tend to be shelf ornaments. The MS 261 and MS 271 saws are powerful, faster than general homeowners' training level, skill level, safety level and PPE level. A homeowner level saw at 35cc to 40cc or so is capable of general clean up of downed trees, the cutting of the two or three cords of wood to heat a home through winter and even to taking down a tree 20 feet or so tall. With the money saved purchasing a homeowner saw, the user can protect her/his investment by using the superior canned fuel and have two or three chains on the shelf ready to use (most homeowners do not hand sharpen chains and dull chains burn up engines even in pro saws). There are homeowner chainsaws with no user serviceable carb adjustments. For homeowner saws, may i suggest same manufacturer bar oil in non-oiler adj saws because they are designed to work together? This vid. Made by folks who use chainsaws at desk. Pix of saws not the subject. A pic of a dangerous saw. A pic of air fitration system of a blower and another of string trimmer.
The 271 will do what 98% of users are asking it to do for at least 8-10 years. The 261 will last them a lifetime with good care, coming from a 271 user that takes care of his and runs the dog shit out of it and it’s still my go to after 5 years

I'm surprised that clutch cover didn't break with the tork you put on those nuts
Sheesh!

Are the 261 specs wrong? Isn't it 3.0 kw power in video it's 2.8?
Yes it was a our little mistake. Thanks Wolfy.

Thanks for subbing Adrian!
Ms 261 is professional, ms 271 isn't professional... there is a price difference !
This video comparison is garbage. The weight of the 261 is wrong and the power of the 261 is wrong. Why would you put out a video like this???
One is metal one is plastic, both junk.
