The best homeowner/45cc saw on the market!

[@johnclarke6647]

You have to watch when cranking the 250 to make sure you do not flood it. When mine rolls over or yanks back I immediately push it up to half choke and crank it up. It is a good midrange saw. It will easily handle 20 inch logs and anything smaller. The best part is it’s weight or lack thereof.

[@crusonboy81]

Love my 250 but miss my old 41.

[@stonecropfirewood3393]

It made me smile at the thought of running a new chain. That’s the best feeling in the world😂

[@WhackinAxes]

I love running a brand new chain! They just cut like butter😂

[@stonecropfirewood3393]

@@WhackinAxes o yeahhh it’s so nice.

[@kevinbarker3545]

I also run a MS 250 I think it the most underrated stihl saw they have keep the chain sharp it's a work horse

[@WhackinAxes]

The 250 is just a well rounded saw, it’s small enough to cut brush with, but big enough to still cut logs!

Just picked up my ms250 and watched your entire video. Making me super excited for the first start! Putting in that work young man great stuff!!

The ms 250 does good with the yellow chain

[@TheWoodsmanMilling]

Just stumbled across your channel, and from what I've seen if this video, you're pretty good with a saw. I personally don't currently run a saw smaller than the 391, though I have an 028 wood boss. The 028 was given to my grandpa, who gave it to my dad, and now I have it. It's all original mechanically, and I just put a new bar and chain on it last year. That said, it needs carb work finally. My main is a 661, normally with a 25 inch bar and chain, but I also have a 36 for it. So far, I've cut trees up to roughly 30 inches wide, and it hasn't bogged down. My plan is to get a mill attachment for it to cut slabs to help Kickstart my woodworking business.

[@WhackinAxes]

That’s awesome! We recently just got a 400c with a 25 inch bar and a bark box and it rips! The biggest tree I have personally cut with it was about 4 foot or more across. And I recently cut down a huge oak with it! Thanks for watching !

[@WhackinAxes]

I have held a 661 before but never ran one. Just holding it it felt like an absolute beast

[@TheWoodsmanMilling]

@@WhackinAxes the 661 is definitely a beast of a saw. It's pretty fun to run.

[@WhackinAxes]

It took a while getting used to the bigger saw, before that all I had run was a 290 which is no where comparable to the 400.

[@TheWoodsmanMilling]

@@WhackinAxes there's definitely a huge difference in performance. That said, I still like running the 028 and the older saws that I have access to.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Cherry is my favorite wood! Can you do a back flip yet? If not just cut more wood!

[@WhackinAxes]

We love cherry to! I can’t do a backflip yet and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do I’ll just have to keep cutting wood!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Awesome video whackin! Cutting like a hot knife though butter.. it’s good to see you cutting my friend.. oh and send me a few of them beautiful cherry logs would ya 🤣👍🏻 keep up the great work buddy

[@WhackinAxes]

Thanks for watching! We have a lot of big straight cherry trees at my grandpas. Sadly I can’t send you one because they would all be on a mill before they got to yours!😂

Way to be Evan ! Glad to see ya back see sawing 😏 I think Stihl designed that ms 250 just for you👍🪵👏

[@WhackinAxes]

I love the Stihl ms250. I am trying to convince my dad that the ms462 was designed for me too..😂

[@exploringwithdonald8444]

it's the MS 250 so that's cool cause it's another saw for my collection next up to the echo cs 590 60 ccs

[@Smokey66s]

Cant hook comes in real handy for rolling logs over to finish your cut and avoiding rocking your chain, also pinching chain. Keep up the great work and videos.

[@gerryspang5917]

Good to see you back at it, the power of prayer really helps. Keep safe.

[@WhackinAxes]

Thanks! I really love that yellow chain for sawing logs! Not so great for brush though.

I did notice it had a bit more bite too it, but glad your able to be back out swinging off a saw, must feel great

[@wva_trucks2336]

[@WhackinAxes]

It’s a great little saw!

[@wva_trucks2336]

@@WhackinAxes do you prefer it or the 400 for firewood cutting?

[@WhackinAxes]

@@wva_trucks2336 for cutting firewood honestly I would rather use the 250. The 400 is really fun just because it’s big and will rip through the wood. But to be honest the 250 is better for most of the wood we cut.

[@WSTMike]

Who’s back? You’s back!!! Great to see you back behind the saw, Evan!! You handle that MS250 like a pro. That Yella Chain chews!! Take Care!!

[@WhackinAxes]

It was such a relief to get back on a saw! That’s for watchin !!

[@johnclarke6647]

My new Stihl MS 250 blew through a bunch of two year old 20 inch test logs, yesterday. I was standing in ankle deep sawdust and chips when I got through. It was a little jumpy in spots but nothing I was not able to handle. I will hand file it this morning to put a good edge back on the RS chain. I know that hard hickory dulled it up pretty good.

[@benjaminleslie3155]

The 680 is an excellent saw! Definitely a must have

[@johnclarke6647]

I know, it was the first Farmertec saw I built in 2018. It still runs and cuts fine.

[@jimmyhuffman6802]

I'm looking to buy a new saw, thinking about the MS 250 or the 251. Can't make up my mind on the one I want.

[@WhackinAxes]

The reason I went with the 250 is because the 251 only has one bar nut. That was weird to me and I don’t really trust it. I’m sure it will stay on there but it was just weird to be because I’ve never seen that before. Another reason is because the 250 has a quick detach airbox cover and the 251 does not. Hope that helps! The 250 has been an amazing saw!

[@eeezee3385]

What length bar are you running. It looks a bit bigger than a 18 inch. It seems to run well.

[@WhackinAxes]

It’s an 18 inch. I don’t know why but it tends to look bigger on camera sometimes

[@BANTEN_WORKER]

Good to job 👍

[@WhackinAxes]

Thank you!

[@MarcBchannel]

Good work👍 I like how measure out sections with the guide bar. About 16in?

[@WhackinAxes]

Yeah it’s a 18 inch bar but I was trying to figure out a way to measure without a stick and from the dogs to the bar tip is exactly 16 inches! Thanks for watching Marc!

[@aldiminico6513]

Don’t get the urge to kicks those rounds away until your fully healed!🪓

[@WhackinAxes]

I haven’t been doing much of anything except cutting and splitting. No lifting rounds and moving them for a while !

[@hartleyhomesteadmichigan6041]

I need to get the yellow chain for my MS250. The green one takes me forever to cut through logs.

[@WhackinAxes]

Yes the green that I have is pretty sharp but is no comparison to the yellow chain. Just watch it because it gets really jumpy on you quick!

[@johnwashingtoncountyor4954]

Nicely done video. Hope ya get to take off the leg brace soon. Now that I watched your video, I'm tempted to get my saws out just to hear them run.

what happen to you last time? what the accident?

[@ciphercode2298]

Good running saw,thinkin about gettin one myself. I'd rather have the 261cm, but money wont allow it. My bigger saws are a ms441cm and a ms310. I just need a lighter saw for smaller stuff and limbing. My bigger saws wear me out after an hour or two.

[@ciphercode2298]

Ended up gettin one last spring and it's been great. I've almost quit using my other saws. I'm cutting up a big red oak with it right now. Its 24-26" in diameter.

[@jimmyhuffman6802]

What happened to the leg?

[@johnclarke6647]

Yellow is Rapid Super, known as RS. It is just as aggressive as LGX or EXL Oregon chain. I like RS and it holds its edge real well and lasts a little bit longer than Oregon chains but not commensurate with the additional cost.

[@kostasfrangos3354]

It’s the picco super chain, full chisel picco chain 3/8 0,50 gauge! Ms 250 don’t run rapid chain!

[@johnclarke6647]

It is a good practice to limb up a tree before you buck it up. Then cleanup the limbs to get them out of the way. Then,buck.

@@WhackinAxes I am waiting for you a video of the cutting performance available on 2 chainsaws in your hand👍

Judging by how the saw kicked back on you, I think this chain might be a bit too much for you.

[@WhackinAxes]

I can handle the chain the saw is just to light for that grabby of a chain. You could put a sharp sharp chain on any saw and it will kick like that. On my little saw though it is a quite a bit to handle. But I got used to it after a while.

[@johnclarke6647]

It is a RS chain, rapid super. It’s a good chain, but a chain is only as good as the person sharpening it.
