Got my 241.

I seem to get more back pain when my wallet is empty!

If back is sore bending to cut I'll get in a one point stance to buck.

 

One million dollars. And the banter continues.

 

The rear handle. The foot hold area.

 

Gonna have to send you a post dated check this time.

Sorry buddy! Thanks for understanding.

 

Congrats Brad! That's a heck of a deal! I still have a 024 and it is a light weight little saw. I imagine the 241 is the same but a lot more power.

 

The nicest of my options.....I have seen this technique when your cooler is almost empty and you have to reach down to the bottom to get another beer!

 

Owned a couple 024's briefly. The specs are almost identical to the 241 in terms of weight and CC's.
The 024s has a couple more CC's. It is a nice light saw for sure.

 

I'm sure we could accommodate!

 

Got its first run yesterday. Fired on the first pull! Bucked a 6" limb then noodled a crotch. Tried bucking a bigger round, cuts in a couple inches then kinda jams and wanted to cut crooked. I finished the cuts, but annoying. I think he ran a loose chain and wore out the bar groove. I have a couple other bars I can use.

 

Ill check today.

More questions...After yesterdays first cut I'm thinking he wrecked the bar. Groove worn inside so wont cut straight once into the cut. Can I run the bar from my 201 rear handle on this? Its the pitch not groove width that makes the difference right?

I also noticed the sprocket is the spur "paddlewheel" type. I prefer this as its easier to get a chain on and off. Any difference in performance? I know modded saw users will use a sprocket with a higher tooth count

 

No performance difference but when the spur is worn out, you have to replace the entire clutch drum, which is more expensive than just a new rim sprocket plus the drum usually isn't worn out.

 

I just don't get all the hype over the 241 , obviously I am missing something ; sorry to me it is just a flippin " chainsaw in the 40cc class with one nut holding the bar on and that to me looks like Fisher Price.
If they are the best thing since sliced bread, then why are they not available here?

Just sayin.....

 

201 uses the same bar. No need to play with the drum on a stock saw.

 

They were sold here from 2015-2018. The consensus as to why they stopped selling them in north America is because most users grvitate to 50cc and larger saws in a professional saw unless its a climbing saw. This size saw is very popular in Europe. That size saw is very popular here, just not in a professional saw. Take the ms250, one of the most popular firewood saws ever made. 45cc. But it was probably $200 less when they were both being sold here. The average, non saw enthusiast, firewood guy don't care about the lighter weight, fancy computer carb and smooth spring av of a 241 if it means it costing a bunch more.

 

So while I only ran my 241 a short time at Denny’s to make sure there were no issues with it before having Kevin port it, it is a very nimble/light saw. I have ran my ported 543XP all week working in the woods where I deer hunt, this size saw ported running an 18” .325 is very easy on the body for sure.

I think Steve hit the nail on the head, while I really like the 543 and 241 size/weight, it isn’t a ported 346…

 

I think Kevin said it best when someone here asked the difference in performance between his 241 and 346 builds. He said the 241 is like a vega with a small block Chevy stuffed in it and his 346 builds are like a big block chevelle.

 

I believe the only professional grade saw left, in the 40-45cc class, is the 543xp. State side that is.
