Make things simple.
300i
400i
500i
600i
I'm waiting on that 600i. A fuel injected 90cc saw would be the bees knees. But stihl hasn't really cared much about timber fallers since the 90's. So even if they did, expect it to be geared toward city oriented arborist

That sounds about right. 661 are right at $2,000 msrp in a lot of places here.
Just less than a year ago when I was pricing/selling new 661 powerheads at $2850 for a pair or $1475 for one (no tax) folks told me I was overpriced.

There isn't a chance in hell stihl won't continue on with a 70cc model.
Looking at the power-to-weight ratio of the MS 300, 400, & 500...it would be a reasonable way to cut another model (reducing manufacturing costs) while maintaining consistent coverage across the product line.

Im.nit sure what you mean by that? Plenty of fillers are running the 500i. Seems to be Stihls most popular model with timber fallers.

That's 1,440.67. That's a decent jump over the 261c

Lol..

A 53cc saw isn't going to be almost 1500 bucks when it's for sale in the US. I know you're new to this forum, but every single time a new saw model is on the way the nerd rodeo gets their calculators out and ends up not even close by the time it's for sale here. They had the 500i in the thousands...lol...when they came out here I could buy one for around 1400 bucks if I remember correctly.

a little more with the inflation and tariffs...yes.
