Yep it is....most likely the 362, as stihl is generally not marketing the 261 with a 20" bar.

Not the first time something printed is wrong.

Lumberjills like to handle the lightweight long bars, eh ?


Ad copy is for a MS280
no fine print claiming model not included, maybe I should run down to my Stihl dealer asap.

Is that a 24" bar or has it been photoshopped like some other, er, things in that image ? :)
 
can't argue with the pictures. It doesn't look like a 280 to me. FWIW, all I commented on was the handle colors...

well that makes it definitive....simply look at the screw that holds the top cover on. It's a 261/362.

I'm done

lol And should have upgraded to the es bar
 
I wonder if we all write Maxim & Stihl saying how we were mislead into shopping for the wrong saw and are now considering a Husq . . .they will run a new spread with the right saw . . .
 
let me know if Maxim prints my letter and/or a correction in a future issue, lol.
 
just wanted to upload a slightly clearer picture from their website...

Looks like a 362. The air filter cover has three carb adjustment holes, and the contour on top matches the 362.
 
More threads like this and I'll have wood all winter.
 
Great, thanks a lot guys. I'm sitting here with my wife hanging all over me and she's wondering why I would want to hang out on a firewood website. "Oh, this is a different kind of wood site?"

You can do the laundry...

Not sure what model that one is but I know it came with a pull start. :red:
 
That model definitely has black handles.
