[QUOTE="JW IN VA, post: 1384263, member: 21289"] The 271 has another 1/2 hp (3.0 to 3.49 ).The weight also increases from 10.1 to 12.3 lbs.The engine on the 250 is 45.4 cc and 50.2 on the 271. The 250 will have a 16" or 18" bar and the 271 will have 16,18 or 20" bars to choose from. If you Google MS 250 vs MS 271,there are results from Arborsite and the Forestry Forum ( I'm a member of both).Also a video to compare them. To confuse you further,if you can find a good used 026 or 261 you have the best of both weight and performance in a professional grade saw. I want to highly recommend you buy a set of chaps made for sawing.Seem high priced but you can buy 8 - 10 pair for an ER co-pay :D Also learn to file your chain and keep it sharp.Sharp chains on a small saw beat dull chains on a bigger one. Let us know what you decide on.Happy Sawing. [/QUOTE]
