Yes, there will be increases almost all the way across the board for saws. My dealer just got his new hang tags the other day, so the increases will be here soon, if not already in effect.
Any idea how much higher ther price on those hang tags is for the 661R?
 
Anyone seen a price hike on the Stihl pro saws yet? The rumor was for Jan 1st 2015. Maybe it takes some time to trickle down the distribution channels to the dealers?

yep.. walked into the store monday morning and they were busy changing all the price tags. because the aussie dollar has dropped to the US they said.. and 95% of the product comes from germany:crazy: work that one out. would have thought they paid in euro.

Any ideas as to how much they gone up.
The Aussie dollar is high to the New Zealand dollar makes it good for us kiwi's to buy stuff in aussie
 
I called the Stihl dealer in Texas to check if my 661R came in today and was told not yet, but maybe tomorrow. I'm thinking of telling them I want my money back. It was paid for on Dec 27th and estimated to arrive on the 29th, but do to oversights on their part because of the holidays, it still has not arrived yet. I got it for $1190 with 25" bar once shipping is added in, tax is additional. I'm beginning to question if dealing with these people is worth the potential savings or not?

Mr paylesspizzaman oh the saw is worth the wait...I can tell you that
lol the dollars are the minor details
 
I understand the saw is worth the wait, but I'm just not sure dealing with these people at "that" dealer is worth the $10-$90 savings and maybe a couple weeks off the wait......


Yeah I know what you mean these people at "that" dealer. $100 bucks is a $100 it can almost be two thirds the way towards a tusmura light weight bar or a another chain or 2.just sucks waiting still reckon it should have been 3 days. A sale is a sale and they should have bent over backwards for you to source that saw A.S.A.P for you I could have sent one from here quicker just no "R" models in nz

Your going to like this saw hope it's there for you tomorrow fingers crossed for you...!!!!!!!!

My dealer in Dallas ordered mine yesterday and picked it up. I bet yours will be here today. The distributor was closed for two weeks for the holidays. They opened up yesterday.

Man I hope you're right! Assuming it comes in today, I'll still have to wait till Monday to lay my hands on it, due to shipping to Indiana.
 
not saying how I have these...or for which distributor they are for.

661 R dealer/List
36" 1033 1309.95
32" 1025 1299.95
28" 1009 1289.95
25" 1001 1279.95
20" 993 1269.95


661 non R - subtract apporx 40 off those prices.

dealer prices don't include freight. So don't beat em up to bad guys.
