Stihl MS881! The rumors begin

[Magnumsaw]

German wouldn‘t help - That language sounds Dutch to me

Yeah this it not German.

I guessed. Lol

Interesting that they list a MS400 as an alternative … but no 462!!! Hope they do not go the way of the 241 … both are real nice saws!

Why would the 462’s go anywhere, new designed saw that’s only been around couple years. Only reason that 241 went is nobody seemed to buy them, dealer up here had one and it sat forever. All the customers seemed to just buy the 261 instead

I agree with everything you say, but my concern was why the 400 was listed but not the 462??? Also, almost everyone I know who has a 241 loves it, so I'm surprised it was discontinued. It was also fairly new.

Stihl seems to be developing more saws than they can keep in the line up (362, 400, 462, 500). I presumed the 362 would be the one to go, but it is listed and the 462 is not!!!

This is a no brainer. 362 getting the boot. New saws taking over are 400, 462, 500i.
They will keep 362 on the books as long as they have the parts to make those saws in inventory.
Once they have sold, 362 will be gone...

I’m sure they will keep the 362’s and 400’s. All the same parts minus the top end and maybe coil ect. They will just separate them by a 100$ or so and the 462 is still around. Did the 241 go all together or just in the usa

 

[ayoungtexan]

Is the 400 replacing the 362? Is stihl starting to go by cubic inch for the model numbers? 400=4 cube and 500=5 cube?

 

[lehman live edge slab]

I doubt it and the 362 is going anywhere and the 400 will just fill in an area for the people that want more power but want to save the money over a 462

MS241 is still available in Germany:

No 400=4kw
500=5kw

 

[ayoungtexan]

No 400=4kw
500=5kw

Makes sense

 

[lehman live edge slab]

I thought

https://www.stihl.de/de/p/kettensaegen-motorsaegen-ms-241-1902

I thought it was just USA market because of lack of sales

 

[popopboat]

So, official specs?

 

[ferris]

Maybe, on some pages I read something about an updated AV sYstem. And the numbers in your pic are the vibration numbers from the 880.
So I’m not sure

 

[Thumper88]

This is gonna be a wait and see type thing. But looking at the horsepower and weight I’m not seeing huge improvements in either category. Looks to be more of a aesthetic makeover. I am disappointed it’s not gonna be offered as an Mtronic option.
