Introducing the STIHL MS 400 C-M1 Gasoline-Powered Chain Saw Designed for the most demanding tree care and forestry professionals, the STIHL MS 400 C-M has a magnesium alloy piston, a first in the chain saw industry. This magnesium alloy piston provides 13 percent greater displacement2, increased power and more torque without adding additional weight. This chain saw also includes STIHL M-Tronic™ engine technology to deliver low-emission, fuel-efficient performance under all operating conditions. Its lifetime HD2 air filter means you simply clean it instead of replacing it, while a pre-separation system removes large debris before it even gets to the air filter, thus increasing run time between cleanings.

I might have to do some rethinking about the new chainsaw i wanted, since the $600 we got and not the $2000 wanted it puts both my planned Stihl saws a little out of my reach.
I looked at the Stihl web site and didn't see it. Where did you find the info on the ms400 happysawer4741
I read about that couple months ago. Available in the Euorpean market. Dunno if id want that or the 500i? I dont have a 70cc range saw so i guess id get the 400.
That's interesting, being brand new design, but I think I would probably just opt for the 462 CM instead, just in case, there's still bugs to work out. And I always like to see some kind of track record first. Plus it's close enough to 70 cc that I would want the option for a longer then 25" guide bar, so I would question the oiler for one thing, because the 362 is a bit stingy with oil delivery, and I suspect since the bar length recommendation is the same did they throw the oiler from the 362 in there, instead of the better oiling 462. Just my thoughts as I have both. Probably a non issue for most people.
I’m going to have to hold off on getting the 261c that I’ve wanted for awhile. Looks like the 400i is almost a do it all saw! What’s it 1 lb heavier than a 261? Wonder when the 300i will come out?
Absolutely! Kind of like rifles-have one in every caliber, have a saw for every 10ccs!! Make that 3 saw plan a 4 saw plan!
Im working on the eight (or is it nine, i forget) saw plan , subject to change without notice and/or whenever i find a good deal on a saw!
Current price: $1,059.99. It would be logical to take it as soon as possible. It looks like the price will increase in the future
