Just picked up the 2016 Stihl catalogue (UK), and it looks like the 261 and the 362 has had an update. I was wondering if they are coming to the uk and if they are, when will they be coming??

 

Would that up grade include a clutch bearing that is not by Cadburys ?

They made them out of the same stuff that husky made the 540

From I think - only just robust enough for crisp packets!

They are underrated work horses - I am looking forward to the updated models

I use a 2014 ms261 for ground work and chunking/logging trunks on the ground it's a real work horse, the only problem is that it's a real screamer from the exhaust. It's painful even with hearing protection.

I'd much rather use my old 250 or 391 which have a more mellow exhaust note, if I were to update my saw to a new 261 I'd have to try a test run
