    Saw a teaser video from Stihl on the internet today... What new thing are they coming out with on March 1, 2017 (they didn't say in the video, of course) ?

    I saw that too. I wonder if it is the MS462?

    I truly have no idea, but they've got us talking, don't they. I'm hoping that they finally are coming out with a line of log splitters.

    Can't wait to see what they offer for pressure washers!

    Looks like they have been selling the washers in the Canadian market for at least a while now. Why does it seem like the US market never gets the full Stihl line-up?

    They've had a battery line of tools for years. Now they have a new battery system.

    Or, maybe they are coming out with a new rifle so I can upgrade my Husqvarna?

    I know, I made that about 3 years ago just using "paint"! Been waiting ever since! Actually, the 4 is "original", it was made from a 241 photo.

    Lol, that is hilarious. You had some guys wound up about it on the OPE forum. The 462 was in the Stihl calendar this year.

    It's the Stihl lightning system that is rolling out. It's a competitively priced battery powered lineup to compete with lowes and Home Depot in the battery powered market. I guess my local distributor has over a million units and is worried they wouldn't have enough. Stihl is going to roll out their biggest advertisement campaign in company history to promote this. You will see ads on tv and other kinds of media. Should be interesting.

    A fuel injected chainsaw doesn't seem to be too far off, there are demos floating around from what I hear.

    That is what I heard on another forum IDK if it is true.
