    Nitrodave Nice saw! If interested, add a second bar stud and upgrade the muffler. I recently picked up a 251, and after a few upgrades, cuts right along with my Husqvarna 545 MK2. Happy firewooding!

    I think the ergonomics on the 251 are absolute perfection. By far my favorite saw to operate.

    I find it to be a little unreliable and I can't stand the Stihl parts situation, but on ergos alone it wins bigly.

    Protip it likes to accumulate a LOT of crap in the clutch area so I'd advise opening it up and cleaning the internals every couple cords.

    Thanks for the kind words! :handshake:

    Need to renew that scrip as I'm running low.
