    I didn't know stihl even made these!
    It's an mtronic with adjustable carb! How the heck do ya tune it?
    Gotta love craigslist.


    I woulda thought the crappy blue paint would make the saw less valuable, but what do I know?

    Good laugh anyway:rofl: :lol:

    So it doesn't disappear.

    Stihl MS 261 Chainsaw (Professional Saw) (Portage, MI)

    make / manufacturer: Stihl

    safety tips
    Reduced Price!! I have a Stihl MS 261 chainsaw with a 16 inch bar, Stihl saw case, 3 extra chains (all 4 chains are sharp and ready to cut), and the scrench tool for sale. This is a professional grade saw with the new M-Tronic technology. It is a 2011 model year. It runs fast, cuts great, and oils well. I purchased it from a Detroit Tigers fan who painted parts of the saw blue. The color doesn't effect the performance. I am asking $525 for everything. Please contact me at the attached info.

    Thanks, Matt

    I bet he would take $525 for everything considereing the wonderful maintainence the saw has recieaved and im sure the chains will be top notch sharp too

    That's a lovely deal considering a new 261 with actual m-tonic on board price

    Some people are morons

    Exactly. You take someone who don't know much about saws not that I know it all but someone wanting their first saw. They see a case and three chains and think wow that's a deal. Sad but prob true

    Who would take a perfectly good saw and paint it. What is up with the bar. Wondering how many cord it has cut. Has it ever been straight gassed?

    You see all kinds on CL, there was an ad for a 064 in Richmond. I clicked on it and the pic was of an 046. The badge was missing. I texted the seller and told him it was an 046. His response was "I don't care".

    CL can be nuts. This one made me laugh recently (still posted). Why would anyone not at the very least clean the darn thing. Why post a pic of a saw that looks 10 feet away from a dumpster....Cheers.
