Bit of a let down to have the same power as the 880 still though! They have been doing a good job on there other saws.

Go to stihl South Africa web site you can buy 076 to 880 no problem no environmental issues posted to your door tried tested saws 

Any links to show how to buy if you can? I can only see products and specs, no options to buy? Or prices shown either ?‍♂️

I’ve spoken to a mate whom lives in SA and asked for a price on a pair of 880 power heads minus the bars. Shouldn’t have to wait too long for some info ?‍♂️. 
Other option is maybe contact a dealer or even a cooperative tree surgeon and see if they would be interested in sending them over. I’ve always found yarpies to be straight talking decent types and quite helpful.

Typical price out there is R21,000 ish, so basically £1000, put some duty and delivery coin on top and tbh i think you still have a fair priced saw [emoji106]
I know a frequent visitor to cape town so could ask him to pick one up as a favour, working around this covid shite obviously.

Could be a group buy....

Hi all!  Received an email from Stihl today saying that they had a delay in getting production in place for the MS 881 but are expecting to be told by the first week of November when dealers will be receiving them.

So glad I was lucky to get one of the last 880,s
