from the husky website, manual section, tech specs:
261- 2.9kw which converts to 3.8889hp
257- 2.7kw which converts to 3.6207hp
254- 2.9kw which converts to 3.8889hp
262- 3.4kw which converts to 4.5594hp
i have always seen the 262 listed as 4.8, which is what acres has it as, and i think i remember niko saying it tested slightly higher. maybe there was a change that reduced the power. the manual on the husky site is for a 1998. i think the first 262's were made in 1990. the 261 manual was for a 1999 model.
