It really blows my mind that they make an easy start 291.

Have you ever started a 251 with an easy start? Does it feel any different starting?

If I didn’t have my 025 I think I’d consider the 251 wood boss,for what I do,mainly firewood and some trail maintenance they look great,we have some guys at work that think they need a 70cc saw to cut a branch off the road after a windstorm

They're great, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with Husqvarna either.

To paint the line on hood black, doesn’t make it a Stihl Pro saw. ;)

Drill a 1in hole in the muffler and put a piece of pipe over the hole in that 291 and it really wakes that saw up
