I knew this was gonna get good.

MS 300
MS 461/462 & 500 (attached)

Ah fu(k, I read the chart wrong, in Freedom Units it's:
MS 300 C-M: 4.5 HP, 10.6 lbs
MS 462 C-M: 6.0 HP, 13.2 lbs and up
MS 500i: 6.7 HP, 13.9 lbs and up
The lightbulb units got me again. I was wondering how that little creamsickle made so much power.

I go back and read the page in German and the units don't make sense, it says 3kW, and that's not 4.5HP. Google Translate must be using that new A.I. crap (see attached photos), and the weight converted wrong too. WTF

So now it's:
MS 300 C-M: 4.0 HP, 11.5 lbs
MS 462 C-M: 6.0 HP, 13.2 lbs and up
MS 500i: 6.7 HP, 13.9 lbs and up

I got excited for nothin'. I coulda hit on the hot chick at the bar if I wanted that much disappointment.

You might be right, but it's not looking good for the MS 461/462.

STIHL to phase out gas products and increase battery products to 80% of range

The STIHL Group plans to dramatically reduce sales of gas products and replace them with battery-powered alternatives. In their Sustainability Report 2022, Stihl announced: By ... Read more

***Correction, I read the STIHL chart wrong, it's:
MS 300 C-M: 4.5 HP, 10.6 lbs
MS 462 C-M: 6.0 HP, 13.2 lbs and up
MS 500i: 6.7 HP, 13.9 lbs and up

I do not doubt they will keep pushing their battery products but as for total phase out there is no way they will do that. It is similar to a few years ago when the automakers said they would phase out gas/diesel.

I like the way they get bent over by the EPA and the ch!nks just do as they damn well please... How TF does that work?

I remember about 12-15 years ago when Central Boiler was saying that they were discontinuing the conventional boiler due to the EPA. I was on the phone with them this winter and they are still building them.

That's why it's a good idea to use your own head and common sense instead of letting a mechanism do it for you.

Across the board....

My first 261 was a mutt the day I got it. Got a little better each tank. Eventually had Randy port it then it went down the road when my 346 infatuation started. The point being, 346 noticeably better in the hands.

Amazing the amount of work you can accomplish with one.

Are we still bidding up the US price? I feel like more months of inflation plus tarrifs will land this around $899 in my hood.

SCOTUS says no.
