MS 461 release soon

[Tilio-acerion]

The MS 461 has been out in the rest of Europe for a few months now and just out in USA & Canada - Stihl say UK release before the end of the year!

 

Looks like it'll run a 32" bar!

 

Can't wait

Hopefully this should work now.

 

MS 461 - Introducing the NEW STIHL MS 461 Chain Saw

[Gnarlyoak]

If its been out in rest of Europe for several months how come the release in the UK is delayed for so long?

 

I know the majority of Britain would be quite happy to NOT be in Europe, but last time I lokked we were still mired in the pan European experiment that is akin to an arranged marriage from hell.

 

I've always thought that the UK has a much more advanced; professional and pro active tree care industry than many other countries in Europe, even the more advanced countries like France, Austria, germany to some extent. So why does takle so long for new tree care products to get here. I would of thought if anything it would be worth getting the new stuff here first so that it could be put through its paces.

I agree. It must me down to Stihl's strange UK marketing policy - the same one that meant the MS192t has never been released here!

 

I reckon it'll be worth waiting for though, same power to weight ratio as 460, bigger bar capacity, lower vibrations .. . ..

Gnarlyoak if you find that frustrating then you'll probably not like the fact that the MS150 TC-E and rear handled version have been out in Germany and most of europe for a year now!

How much are the rear handled 150's?

Look like they'd be a good carving saw.
