He lied to you my friend.

I would say youre right. All of the specs I've read have said it was Strato.

Found this link a few months ago, it's a strato or as they call it 2-mix. http://www.stihl.de/2-mix-technik-starke-leistung-bei-zukunftsweisender-umweltfreundlichkeit.aspx

i call dibs. hahahaha

Lets make it interesting though. No calling dibs on first, make it the first one thats dropped off the truck. That'll have the fellows bitin their nails.

The first person that says "I'm sending it now". :cool2:

Even Sawtroll would agree with that decision.

Yeah; ST will see pictures (just a picture mind you) of the saw and say "it has a plastic crank cases" and walk away :jester:

Man I hope Ur right....

Man I hope Ur right....

If you check the link I posted it says it's a 2-mix {2-mix = strato} and uses 20% less fuel and produces 50% emissions reduction. Sorry, it's a strato.

IMO if your a stihl fan its a good time to stock up on 440s. I really never cared for the 460 or even other bigger other saws like 7900's, but it is all personal preference. The 460's imo use prolly 25% more gas than the 440's, but for the wood i cut the 440 is about perfect. If I did want a saw bigger than a low 70 cc saw like a 372/440 I'd go with a 064 or a 660.

i was also told no more 440's after the first of the year
661 changeover around then as well
