That doesn’t make any sense.There are mtronic saws available with dealer support. Just not ms 261. ms261 mentioned is non mtronic.

Those were never sold here right? I know the 381 isn’t sold here.
I understood you, it still doesn’t make sense.I.e. ms 462 c-m is availabe and you get warranty and dealer support.
Ms 261 c-m is not availabe, so when you get it from another country (market), you have no effective warranty.
They were sold here.
I don't think the 381 was because it won't meet emissions?
Who knows why big corporations decide to sell an item in one place and not some other. Emissions...maybe? Some sort of market analysis?
I don't think Echo has ever sold the CS-1201 in the US. I would guess that's due to marketing decision.
But, the 038M was followed, I think, by the 044. Stihl wouldn't want to be selling two 70 cc pro saws at the same time, in the same market. I don't think of the 044 as some marvel of low-emissions.
It is not like the 038 was followed by some strato cat saw.

$610 for a CS590 is pricey. That being said. CS590=5-year homeowner warranty.For these prices which one would you choose ( converted prices in Us$) ?
Echo cs 590 $610
Stihl ms 361 $800 (made in Germany)
Stihl ms 362 $890 (China or Brasil forgot which one)
All brand new and available.
I cut a lot of hardwood in the 10"-18" range, some a little larger, not much that's smaller. I have an 026, but I do most of my bucking with an 036 wearing a 18" bar running .325 chain with a 9 pin rim sprocket, and I knock the drag links down just a little bit. My 026 wears the same bar and chain, but I keep the drag links stock and use it mostly for limbing. I do some bucking with it also, but normally that means the 036 is out of fuel or needs sharpened. As far as 361 vs 362, I've not been able to afford anything newer than an 036 so no advice thereMs261c.
Iron City, 361 here. I've been toying with modding my exhaust. Which way did you lean...Replacement with aftermarket unit or modifying OEM?
I know Bark Box is popular on this site. I haven't dug very deep, yet. I imagine there are other manufacturers. I suppose my reluctance is from it's from blowing up too many Arctic Cat's back in the day.
I certainly have the skill set, then I also thought of an aftermarket can, keeping the OEM stock in case I'd decide to reinstall the original.
Thanks for the correction. I'm all for added power, but not at the expense of what's left of my hearing
