What Year Did Stihl . . . ?

[Vernon Tull]

What year did Stihl go to the MSxxx naming/numbering system for chainsaws and quit the old 0xx system? Wasn't it about two years ago, or has it been that long? Thanks for the info.

no biggee but i did like the old way better. you know ,when odd numbers were pro saws and even were consumer models. again jmo
this from a person who always prefer the kiss way of doing things.
if anyone doesnt know . it means keep it simple stupid,.i think.

Did you mean to get that backwards?

We know what you meant.

At least over here some models kept their old name a bit longer than that.
Could be that they were offering old stock for models with little sale (088 didn't become 880 until last year).......
