New Member from Argentina present New STHIL MS-381

[Dan-Tor]

Hello guys!!!

The Stihl MS-381 is real, here in Argentina is going to be available this year. That is made in Brazil.

Theirs new features are a new cylinder with a decompression valve, a new cylinder shroud, a new gas tank (it was changed for the new handle), new fuel line (made on two pieces like MS 660), new handle (with new angle and the same thickness like MS 660), new hand guard, new chain catcher, new clutch, new collar studs (same MS-441), new chain sprocket cover (same MS-441), new muffler (the covert has four screws) and a new air filter (70 microns).

Here is the link:

Sounds interesting. Wanna send me one to test out?

Welcome to AS! looks like we are recieving breaking news, thank you!

So it weighs 14.5lbs. 6.6kg*2.2lbs per.

It is 72cc? If so, I kinda doubt we would see it here.
3.9kw should be about 5.2-3 hp.

Doesn't seem like a natural fit for here.

We'll never see it here unless it's EPA'd... Sure wish they'd put an HD filter on it..


...and... Welcome to AS

Tell us about the timber / chainsaws in Argentina!

Hmmm...

That saw looks like it was made in photoshop...

 

[fishhuntcutwood]

That's interesting. It looks like a whole separate design, and not a 361 derrivative.

Hmmm..

Welcome to AS.

1.5 cc, .2kw less than 441, weighs the same, so why bother?

 

[Dan-Tor]

I forgot to tell you that it isn’t a new design it is made from the old MS-380/038.
It is only an update.

 

[TDunk]

I wonder how much the shipping would be from Argentina to Pa. ???

 

[jhellwig]

Looks to me like it only has a fixed high jet unless they hid one of the access holes somewhere.

 

[Dan-Tor]

Can you still get the Stihl 090 in Argentina?

Thanks,

Dan

No, that never was available here.
Only the 070, but isn't available since 2004.

There is a slight power output improvement over the 380, and a larger one over the 038 Mag II, I believe - but I don't understand why they still are kicking a :deadhorse: :deadhorse:


Welcome Dan-Tor!! - Interesting info!

I once owned a Taurus .44 mag pistol made in Brazil. The quality of workmanship wasn't too impressive. Sold the gun. Hopefully the qaulity control will be better with Stihls products made there.

IIRC, those are nearly the same specs for the old 038 magnum IIs. In the US market the 044/440 and now the 441 replaced the 038 Magnum. I liked the 38s in action, but I have never owned one, just were impressed with what they could do when a tree surgeopn that let me take firewood from his worksite was using them. They pulled full chisel full comp on a 25" hardnose with no problem at all in hardwood.

 

[Lakeside53]

As Dan-tor mentioned. It's just an updated MS380, which was the 038MAG2 in the USA market.

Troll - unless you've run an 038 mag2, you'll never understand...

Brazilian Quality? I've been though a few Brazilian 038 Mag2's (the last couple of years in the USA were all Brazil made) - Perfect - just like German or USA Stihls.
