The Ultra Rare (in USA) MS241CM

[HEAVY FUEL]

Just looking at that web site.
They have the Husky 560xp for sale! the cost is only 742.16, what's with that EX VAT?

Some other cool things too; like the Stihl Forestry Worker Key Ring and the Stihl Childs Weedwacker!



.

I would guess Excluding Value Added Tax.

I didn't have much time to spend with the new saw, but I did a couple of heat cycles and that's about it. It starts first pull and purrs like a kitten.

almost all the gas and oil drained

Full of gas and oil with 16" B&C

Me likey!

That is a nice saw, first impressions from the pics is that it is well built. I like seeing the mag crankcase, appears to be more like the Stilhs I would rather work on. I am going to be interested in seeing how the new M-tronic system works and how the lifespan of it will be. Personally I like my little screwdriver but change is hard for a lot of us to get used to. Is the HD filter standard or was that an extra?

It doesn't come with a separate clutch drum/rim? Is it a size or European thing?

Oddly enough, the IPL shows no rim drive setup for it. Two spurs are available: 3/8 picco 6-tooth, and .325 7-tooth. Another odd thing is that they require different brake bands. I'd be surprised though if there isn't a rim drum that would work on it. That's the only air filter available for them.

The exchange rate for the Euro right now is much more favorable than pounds. You may want to see if you can get something VAT free from a Euro site.

There is a rim sprocket kit for them, it is on the ipl
1143 007 1002 3/8P 7tooth
1143 007 1003 .325 7tooth

Edit:
The CMQ model only has the spurs

It looks like a great little saw. Seems to me, to be a better option than the 543 that was posted about recently, and I'm a serious husky fan. :smile2:

Hmmmm - didn't I once point you to the UK, for a better price than here? :msp_biggrin:

I believe EX VAT means "without sales tax", but not 100% sure.....

Why do you say that?

 

[tallguys]

Seems like a really nice little saw. But at more than twice the money of a Dolmar PS-421, I don't know...

 

[K&L Landscaping]

Bad.... 37% of the saw price.

Dang! $650 sounds pretty stout for a 42cc saw. I do wish STIHL would offer them to the US market.

It looks like the 543xp is considerably lighter, and the power rating is the same.....:smile2:

 

[woodworkorange]

Why do you say that?

Well the 241 appears to be a modern saw, and has electronic tuning, top notch filter etc, the 543 looks like an old husky saw (not 560/562) and as far as I know it does not have autotune.

I agree, looks like a GREAT little saw and would fit some of my applications really well.

Let's not get too excited though. SawTroll will be along soon to tell us all how the 543XP is going to cure all diseases known to man, even the ones that have yet to be discovered. It will also re-establish the world economy and unemployment will be at record .005%. :msp_biggrin:

Well there is only 0.2Kg difference in the published weights, thats only 7 ounces.

Hmmm. Guess I'd better look again. I was looking on Stihl's eService.

I will be VERY surprised if it doesn't have AutoTune. I don't see anything old about it.
