Today is the day I'm finally running my Stihl MS 261 CM vs my Husqvarna 550 xp Mark 2. Let me preface by saying, I really like both of these chainsaws. You may have seen my reviews on them (linked below). Actually, I love the 261 and the 550xp so much, that I couldn't decide between them! That's why I have both. I had no preconceived notions or agenda in running these saws against each other. I coughed up my own money for both of these chainsaws, and actually, when I watched the footage and actually timed them, I was surprised at the result.
Today I'll give you my overall comparison of the MS 261 vs 550xp Mark 2 based on my own experience, and run both of these saws side-by-side so you can see the difference for yourself.
