the actual weight of a 359 is an ounce or so shy of 13lbs.
Powerhead only? You weighed it?

With thee 5,4kg the ms261 now has, you could get a 254xp with 4,1hp back in 1992... Then you also got a metal front handle
So that means Stihl is only 10 years behind.
Pretty much.
But then the 362 is still behind the 262, so they are consistently heavier and slower than a 10yr old Husky at certain points.
But toss in the EPA mandates and it's a new ballgame to be fair about it.
Stay safe!

254 was the #1 selling saw in Canada for a few years. Great saw, if the 261 can equal it, it will be a winner.
Only trouble with the new Huskys will be the price in Canada. $800 won't get you a 346 where I am.

10 years?????
- more like 20 years!
You got me there. I guess Stihl isn't the only one living in the past.
26 years if you count the 154

I believe the "Revboost" is about fast accelleration/trigger responce only, and has nothing to do with max power?
I have heard that "revboost" has nothing to do with accelleration/trigger responce! The "husky guy's" i've talked to say that "revboost" is quick temporary top rpm's! but time will tell....
the new husky's sure looks like interesting machines!! ..... IF the spec is right!:msp_rolleyes:
