Stihl MS500i

[Cut4fun]

Some people see "special edition" of some kind and jack the price to exorbitant levels.

On resell down the road you can bet on that,

I had a 500i.

Sold it.

Chainsaws are just a way to make a living to me.

That said.....I'd sell both of those. Unfueled of course.

Any word on USA arrival? The winter of 2019 is coming to an end quickly. Unless Stihl has changed the date on Stihl USA site.

looks like we’ll see them in 6-7 weeks

Yes gas is way to expensive to give away.

here released them early summer

but mid winter not bad season to just go buy them and run them like you stole them

I guess their marketing people would have something in their minds you are huge market and never buying saws cause you really need to work so...

Um lol I'll pass on that one that's how you get the cheap gas.

Waste 3 to 4 months of your warranty sitting in your shop.
Should have been a spring release to maximize the sales.
Bad business marketing if you ask me...

I bet there’s twice the amount of logging going on in Michigan in the winter time. They do it in areas that are wet and will freeze the roads in to have better access when it’s colder

How is Stihl keeping the saws in a warehouse going to make them more money than releasing them now will?

They do more logging here during spring winter and Fall so if the price is right and not godly outrageous they'll sell a lot of them here.

Actually the production can't catch up demand. Here the next batch coming in January no saws available. So the first US batch delays Europe...everything is back ordered for this model. Huge demand
