MS400.1

So, Stihl are discontinuing the 400 and the 462 to replace with the 400.1...

 

Anyone else not that excited?

Why would you buy a Stihl in the first place?

 

Definitely  not   excitable information

Is that right? I thought the 362 was being dropped, but then there has been no reason to buy one since the 400 came out anyway.

 

If the 462 is dropped that would be a shame, if I won the lottery I'd buy one but I don't think I'll ever wear out my 461 so don't really need to.

Think so, could well have miss heard tbh.

Interesting.  I've heard rave reviews about the MS400.  Personally I've always been a fan of 50cc saws for light work, so 65-ish cc saws never felt enough of a step up.

66.8 cc ( to be pedantic ) and a light weight mag piston . This from a Husqvarna man but I also have heard good reports .

Before my time really, but I can't forget the 200 201 fiasco.  Mind u, I do really like the 462, and from what I've seen it runs m-tronic 3.0 which it's the same as the current 400

That would be an update on the original A/T that Husqvarna sold to Stihl ?

Not 100% sure

400.1 is supposed to be 400g lighter and doing away with the magnesium piston 🤷
