very cool to hear and you will probably get the best gift this year.
I don't really understand why anyone is interested in the MS261 at all, as it surely is outdated before it even fully hits the market?`
Competition is good for everyone, now it's Husky's turn for something new and outstanding!
I got a chance to run my 261 today for a couple hours and all I can say is I am VERY impressed!
I can't decide if I want to run mine or just send it off right then. Is there such thing as a good problem?

I'd run it stock for a tank or two (which by the way is quite a bit of cutting) just to get a feel for it. It's a really nice saw.
Still no regular MS261's, but we will have MS362 and MS460 Arctic saws shortly.
I'm going to guess it uses quite a bit more fuel, but it's still a 50cc saw so it still cant be all that bad.
I know my 084 swallows fuel as fast as Fatguy can a beer.:hmm3grin2orange:
It's a Canadian thing.
I was just wondering how the change in fuel consumption compared to the increase with a port job on a non-strato saw.
Maybe a percentage...:hmm3grin2orange:
Matt I think he'll be happy with it, I really think Stihl did a good job with this saw, it sure has a lot of Husky in it lol.:hmm3grin2orange:
Yeah they look really good Andy. Aren't you meant to be asleep or something?
The report back from this guy is very important to me as if the 261's filter can keep Redgum dust out without oiling my 5100-S will be sold and replaced with a new 261. The brand new MS260 I received is still sitting on the loungeroom floor awaiting sale and the balance feels really nice. Very tempted to fuel it up and cut something but they are about a $1000 saw out here I think so on eBay she shall go Should get about $800+ for it. Last one on there sold for AUD$899.
