[grack]

i stopped by my stihl dealer today to check on a ms270 he said they are bringing
out the 271 but he didnt know when anyone here have any info.
he was running a special on chains buy one get one half price i know its not a great deal but it might help somebody save a few bucks.
i also have a 270 that has a fried pc are there any larger topends that will interchange with it.
thanks guys.

The 271 is basically the same as the 291, and too heavy for the power.

I guess a 280 top end will fit on a 270, but don't know how well it will work - there may be other differences, that affect how it works?
