Gen 3 261

[ayoungtexan]

I’ve heard a little bit about the Gen 3 261. I’m interested how it’ll compare to the Gen 2 and it’s US realease date. Knowing how Stihl release dates in the US usually are, I’ve got a feeling it’s gonna be a long before we see it. But in meantime, I’m wondering what others have seen and/or heard about it.

Has it got different parts or just the V3 Mtronics? I presumed it would be the same as the updated facelift V2 but with 3rd gen MT. Hope I'm wrong and a ground up new model is on its way... but I doubt it.
