As anyone else herd that the 461 might not be available anymore? Just wondering as I was thinking about picking one up in the near future.
Have a friend/ kind of co worker who just bought one and took delivery this week of one. I got pictures so I know its true
I imagine that's to keep the height of the saw reasonable. I would also think that it would improve the handling of the unit like it does with the newer Huskies. Also, they might have off set the cylinder from its axis in relation to the crank to change the speed of the piston at critical times. But that's pure conjecture on my part.
I like what the stihl dealer said ( in the 442 462 thread) yesterday about the new 261 or 26? coming out.
Maybe is in laboratories but i have see theese pictures before about a year until now is still on laboratories , they try to put the mtronic on it BIG technology this mtronic For sure stihl have something TOP SECRET here like a piston , a old school carb, a bar and chain , and some plastics No one can have pictures and infos for theirs other saw ( carbon ) until the stihl give them , now a dude have pictures and infos for the 462 or what it is , see more carefully the pictures are not taken inside a factory or a laboratories but outside maybe in a house ( see grass , garden , flowers , e.t.c ) so a saw that the stihl dont have tell something official , they give it to a dude to take pictures in his house courtyard , or maybe in a park or something.
Theese pictures have a nice background , i dont know that the stihl give the new models to everyone for take pictures to his garden , even if they dont have give any officials infos - pictures . Who knows maybe they give and the carbon saw for a test to anyone if please them .
Thats how beta testing works??? Give it to real world people and let them test it in the field. They give them to loggers or tree service or special folks for firewood duty.
yes you are correct but you forget that they give to peoples after they give first to distributors then the distributors organize the big party , until now NO party
They have testers inside the factories and also they have theirs forests its like a private club until the green light is on, noone know nothing, then the distributors.
