Some new saws incoming next week! (Echo 7310sx, MS400 plus a big secret)

[cuinrearview]

What oil and ratio do you plan to run in it?

 

[TreeLife]

590xp........it's been said that the 572 crankcase was overbuilt, possibly for a 90cc option.
Would the Swedes really send one of their prototypes to their biggest competitor's backyard?

I think they would, if they got a big enough set swingin

[Nutball]

I just hope it's not really a 587.9XP. It's always a bummer when they short you 2-5cc's

 

[Lightning Performance]

Fuel injection?

 

[ferris]

Stihl 090 replacement?

 

[Czed]

Have ya placed that power head on a scale yet to see the weight?

From my understanding he gets the echo and stihl next week

 

[Locust Cutter]

590XP will be interesting. Then again, if the new 881 is almost the cc's of an 090, with more power than it, the 880 and 084, in a lighter, better handling package...

 

[StephK87]

Fuel injection?

No, it has a carb like on most autotune saws

Stihl 090 replacement?

090? That would be tremendous! We should be happy with the fact Stihl gives us an 880 successor, that's a happy thing, as Husqvarna is definitely out of the game in this displacement class over 100cc. It has some kind of prestige for Stihl to still have the biggest saw on the market.

From my understanding he gets the echo and stihl next week

yes

Who knows by the way the 881 is official now in this dealer newsletter, Stihl says that the 880 is sold out and that the successor will appear in autumn. 881 is mostly an evolution of the 880. Just like they did with the 460 to 461. Same bore and stroke like the 880 but with front fed transfers, added stratos (like a beefed up 462) and updated filter.

You got him. LMAO

 

[StephK87]

You got him. LMAO

maybe it was planned... but stay quiet about it

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. Sure thing...[emoji1787]

 

[kneedeepinsaws]

Unfortunately not

You said it had big shoes to fill, to me that means a saw manufacturer that currently does not have a 90cc option for sale... I really want it to be a 590xp but im thinking its a different manufacturer to compete?

There are just 3 manufacturers left who are developing OPE 2-strokes compliant to present and future exhaust emissions. And only 2 of them are in the big chainsaw market...

So what exactly are you saying?

 

[Woodpecker]

I echo, echo, echo what @Piston Skirt is sayin...

Well, if it's a big engined chainsaw it can only be Swedish or German.

Smart move on there part to do it that way imo. Will it offer a standard adjustable carb or will it be mtronic? That’ll be interesting to see how that pans out. Also a factory foam oiled filter option would be nice to see if they still don’t have air pre-cleaning.

 

[StephK87]

From what i know so far, it's a standard carb without MT on the 881. And yes, because of the traditional Stihl construction (carb on the tank not on the crankcase) there is no pre filtration like on the 261 or 462. It should have a bigger HD2 Filter.
