Thought this animation was pretty interesting.

If some folks dislike the complexity of the M Tronics they sure as heck won't like this saw
Would be interested in hearing some experiences from fallers. I've seen a couple vids on YT.
Priced in the $1,400-$1,500 range? Can't see it selling fast. Stihl would be interested in trying one

I am a technology fool. I love my saws with the M-tronics and am already saving money for this saw. Despite its complex appearance it’s actually very simple in fact slightly simpler than the M Tronics. That said it simply has more computer controls but less moving fuel parts. All the new O-rings and rubber parts are supposed to be ethanol resistant. The injector assembly itself is a very very simple set up. As soon as it’s available in the US my MS441C and MS660 will be for sale.

Judging by this, looks like a good 80cc saw. But honestly this makes the 462c very attractive in my opinion.

Notice that if you try to drop start it, the saw recognizes it and won't start. You have to start it in the approved manner, IE between your legs.
When my saw is smart enough to tell me how to start it, I’m out.
I’ll keep my 462

all the car injectors that last for 10s' of years and 100 thousands of miles while running E10 (or E85) tell me that it's pretty well figured out now.

Yah, so are the fuel lines.
So, it that an electric fuel pump in the tank?

You can't put a price on being a RockStar, on Arboristsite.

We have been running injected cutoff saws at work for years, still don’t want the first run in a chainsaw.

I am interested in it though.

They need to make a 60cc one in the $600 range. Then I might have to buy a saw that I have no need for... or maybe wait till the porters have a couple dozen ported, shaved, squished and otherwise molested for the betterment of sawkind.

Yep just hard to see the value from a practical perspective. But have yet to see it run hardwood with a long bar.
I have no need for any of my saws really, except one for occasional storm cleanup. But here I sit reading about them. What makes them so addictive? I guess it's because it's a loud, powerful gasoline powered engine that you hold in your hands and can cut **** up with it. Reckon?

Yep, a 60cc FI that weighs in the 10lb range. Make my CAD for a 261 completely obsolete! I’ll keep waiting and dreaming for the 400i or 300i. Figure about 5-10 years? My 260 and 026 should be good to go tell then!

I’m embarrassed that I took the time out of my life to watch that video! Yes, all 3 saws are are great, but the moron that is comparing them is... well a moron! I’m surprised he has 2 functional legs! Good thing he has chaps on! Why compair saws with different B&C? No idea which saw is actually faster????

Yea, was odd that he started them from the ground like he was racing then revved them over the log for 10 seconds and waved the bar in front like he was trying to intimidate it or something. I will applaud him for trying the english even though he had trouble with some of the words.
