MS461 discontinued, MS400 cm listed with prices

6.8 kg = 14.9 lbs = 1.8 lbs heavier than a 462?

That can't be right?

Sheesh...hope I didn’t start all this bashing. Was just trying to learn something from the Stihl bros.

66cc
4hp
6,8 kg

Think it was posted 4KW so around 5.3hp and 5.8kg not 6.8kg.

If that's true it's an absolute turd and not a pro saw! 600g heavier than the 500i with 66cc and less power than a 261? Can't imagine that

Husky try to sell with rumors

Stihl selling with an Armagedon of new models all high tech!!!

Huge difference

At new even higher prices.

4KW, 5.8kg according to @Evansaw .

 

[BonScott46]

Might not be a great candidate for porting with a agressively limited coil but stihl looks like great specs to me especially if built extra tough.

 

[BonScott46]

Maybe the same bottom end as the 462? Smaller piston?

Correct Sir

Mistake here my friend correct weight is 5.8kg just 200grams above current 362.

 

[BonScott46]

Same bottom end, smaller piston, different coil and not so aggressive porting numbers and presto ms 400.

Not yet sure about that...your thought however it would lead to a less crazy revving more torque oriented saw which is not bad. Actually is good for 90% of chainsaw users. Sounds good for it’s category.

 

[MustangMike]

That sounds like it may give the 562s some trouble!

Don’t you think Husqvarna 5 series has enough trouble from theirselves!!! Lmao!!!

The almighty God Randy has a signature NOT ACCEPTING any of them for work!!! Hahaha

So long as the price differential is wide enough between the 400 & 462, should be a good seller.

I don't know what your missing, the "new Huskies " have been around for 10 years first at Sweden dealers as a 560 and 562.

Husqvarna has a good base now to put a larger displacement P/C on their flagship saws. Then weights would be a non issue.

A 550XP can be a 60cc
562XP a 70cc
572XP can be 80, 90, 100cc.
Just my two cents.....

Sorry my friend I should have been more clear. If Husky could build what you say on those platforms why not just do it to begin with? For example Dolmar didn't release the 6400 and then release the 7900 10 years later... I get the theory but it seems like if it was feasible they would have just released them that way to begin with.

 

[StephK87]

I don't see a gap for Husqvarna. They have a 572, 372, 576AT all in the 70cc class for the professional market of endusers who can work with a saw 8 hours a day 5 days a week without noticing a difference of a few ounces.
Husqvarna still has a 390XP that has a cc displacement niche right after the 576XP.

But not here in europe anymore... 372, 576, 390,395 and 3120 are out of production, if the last saw is sold it's over. The 572xp is now their biggest saw in production for the european market. We can hardly hope for a bigger saw before 2020, if I can trust my information.

Having different bars and chains can cause problems. One of our guys has started swapping out the 1/4 pitch, 14" bars on our HT133s to match those on our HT131s.

Did you notice the twist lock jams when you extend the pole out? Its a *b-word to get the pole retracted!
