Stihl 400 predictions?

[Catfishclark89]

Wait a dern minit!!!! If this new saw is so blamed fast, why’s it taking so long to get over here?!?!

 

[sawmikaze]

I can't wait to find out...

I wonder what schedule it falls under if the cops catch you huffing your chainthaw.

 

[sawmikaze]

I had one for a moment, it sounded really strong stock. I looked at how it was put together and i was like nope.

I'm married I have enough hchainsaw.

Did it smell good ?

Ha! That seems to be normal, whether intended or not. I think it would be safe to say 90% of their North American dealer network today has no clue this new saw even exists.

Yesp

Be fun to throw a MS363 in the mix. Just as sexy but we'll never see them here. If I did the currency conversion right price is just under $700
62.6 cc
4.8 HP
12.3 lbs
Pretty sure this is where the aluminum piston comes from.

Okay did a different currency app more realistic $1,039.51

They are available, like other chainsaws (e.g. MS 382) designed for markets with less stringent emissions requirements, south of the US.

I heard the ms 400.1 is gonna cost 10 thousand dollars.

Listening to the knuckleheads in that video is like taking chainsaw advice from Bob Villa. In spite of those idiot posers doing their best to make both saws look bad, I think the neo 400 will be a more than adequate replacement of the 362 and probably the current 400 as well.

The new 400.1 -

It's junk.

It doesn't have a magnesium pithton.

It will cost 10 grand.

It probably won't even smell good.

It has a plathtic handle.

The ms 170 will probably torch it.

How long will you even be able to even buy parts for it ?

I'm thoroughly convinced 75% of the people on the internet who obsess over chainsaws are Vrigins.

Actually the lighter piston should increase hp and torque. Remember the piston actually stops and starts again at the bottom and top of each cycle. Now a wheel that just keeps rotating would be a different story.
Looks like the connecting rod has been lightened though. I’d be curious to know the weights in comparison to each 400 model.

I hadn't thought of it that way. That is an interesting explanation!

Sad but true. My dealer, who is very large & well stocked, did not know about it & even said, "You probably know more about it than I do."
