Stihl MS881! The rumors begin

[lehman live edge slab]

I’d say that’s pretty good bet what it will be around price wise since the 880’s go for 19-2100
Depending on bar length

Is red gum the wood that has huge amounts of reddish sap in it, red/brown stringy bark and hard as nails???

Most of our hardwoods have sap from a honey yellow to a blood red depending on the species.
You can get big sap pockets in the timber makes it hard when trying to cut clean boards.



This is a pic of a big old River Red Gum.
They still log Forest Red Gum in AU it grows tall and straight compered to River Red Gum.



Here's a pic of a very sappy hardwood it's called Bloodwood you can see how it got it's name. I've still got a couple of nice slabs of Bloodwood I cut years ago its hard to get clean timber with no sap pockets out of it.

Doesn’t seem to idle like an 084/088/880 either, different sound to it.

Definitely looks stronger and has a different sound vs the 088 and 880

It looks like it still has the 3002 style mounts.

Same muffler as the new edition ms880, might not be an actual strato, more of a pseudo-strato like a 461.

I’ve heard the 881 is a strato. But the 461 is just a front fed quad port.
