The chainsaw of the future

Also whether something so light is more susceptible to kick back.
However sounds promising[emoji1303]

I wonder what a Spud ported one would be like?

[TIMON]

Or a 201t that cuts like a 362

First off the production line stihls dont always do well (or huskys)

This isn't new technology to Stihl, its been in operation on their cut off saws for a while now, so in theory we can hopefully expect the niggles to have been sorted out already.

If it is as pokey as a 661 and as light as a 441 they’ll fly off the shelves.

 

I will certainly get one.

It does sound good and I’m getting the itch for a new saw reading about it. I have to say though that although the direct injection engine is tried and tested I’ll be waiting a year before I fork out my hard earned cash. The early 261 problems weren’t to do with the engine so much as I understand and Stihls track record of taking responsibility for faulty equipment is rubbish

[wolt]

No talk of price anywhere yet then?

 

Im a fan of the 461 and am pretty interested in a 461 that cuts like a 661.  Hopefully it lives up to all the hype

[Rough Hewn]

Strange time to bring out the 462?

[Steve Bullman]

I expect the price difference will be enough that there’s a market for them both
