The Rancher is the only saw under 59cc that we put the full size 3/8 on. It has the torque.  The .325 allows the rest to rev and is a lot smoother on the smaller saws.

Back to the original question:
should I go up to perhaps model 250 ( $290)?
I suggest that you take a look at the Husky 345 og preferably 350 instead. Those are Husky's top end homeowner saws, and much nicer saws to use than the Stihl 250.

Firewood saws: Jonsereds Raket 621 (1970), Husky 353G, Stihl MS361W, Husky 372xpg, New Edition Husky 339xp, Dolmar PS5100SH, New Edition Husky 346xpg, Jonsered 2153WH, Husky 560xpg.

I agree, except we can't get the 350. I have been running a 345 for four years with no problems at all.
