Post by: Old Iron Logging on December 08, 2016, 08:00:05 pm: I will get a pic tomorrow. We have the 250, 251 and 251C. 250 is the only one on sale for the fall $449. Carb version of the 261 is in country but on hold waiting for CSA approval. I do not like the M tronic 261. Way too many issues this year.

Post by: Cut4fun . on January 01, 2017, 03:35:36 pm: Dealer in US says = In the US the ones that I have been getting from stihl to sell in my store ..... Most say made in USA with foreign and domestic parts ... That being said I am seeing chinese parts on most of the pro saws. That is why the piston / cylinder kits dropped about 50% and same thing on the 41401200619 carbs..... Looks like they did not learn anything from homelite ....
