anyone know of any updates or heard anything recently. Would like to pick up another saw in that range and not sure If I want to hold out or not.
Recently talked about in the 2013 stihl thread. So far theyre saying late 2013 release. And thats about it.
they are not out yet to see if they hold up
Ok, could wait till then "IF" its going to be an improvement. Anyone know how well they r holding up?
Safe bet? Compare the 460 and 461. New air filter cover, slightly better fuel eff, slightly more choked up. Not exactly what i call an "improvement". More like clogging up the 70cc market more. Now if they add spring av, mtronic option, and maybe even shave a little fat off, im on board for one. Talking about the 661 that is...
So if i was you and you were wanting a big stihl, id get a 660 now. Worst case scenario is the 661 comes out, its totally badass but has a few kinks to work out, give it 6 months and by then you coild sell your 660 and buy a new 661. So all in all your looking at 18ish months. Thats not too bad. Isnt torturing yourself with decisions fun? Mine? 576at, 441cm, or 390xp. Now you lnow why i want a 661 mtronic or even a 390xp at. Best of both worlds.
If you already have a 660, id wait then. Youll never have trouble finding parts for them
