The Ultra Rare (in USA) MS241CM

[SawTroll]

Yeah, I couldn't find any posts about the 241cm on their fb page. I find it strange how they are so again this particular model - it is a stihl product after all...

Maybe they plan on pushing the inferior MS251 instead, and figure they will earn more that way? :msp_confused:

Possibly... they might be trying to push US made saw sales and import only the 'necessary' saws from Europe.

they responded to my two comments within a couple hours. they said when they hear a release date they will pass it along. however when i then asked if that was confirmation that the 241 was on it's way they they reiterated their original statement that they will let us know when they know. but they were nice about it.

and i just left another comment, we'll see what they say this time. also i think Scooterbum posted a comment as well.

Awesome!

I saw Brad's post as well.....this is really great. Hopefully with enough interest they will reconsider.

I have been posting on their wall for a few months now about the 241 - the only posts they removed were the video and the photos from Stihl UK's site.

Brad,

They just responded:

"Brad SnellingI'm a collector and chainsaw enthusiast. I would love to see Stihl bring the MS241 to the US. You do not have a professional grade saw of that size available to the US market. I would buy one if you'd sell it.

"STIHL USA Brad, thanks for the comment. We know a lot of folks are looking forward to the U.S. release of the MS 241. Since STIHL is sold worldwide, product release dates vary by country...however as soon as we get notification of a firm release date, we'll communicate it here. Thanks again"

I just liked their comment, and Brad's. It would take TONS of FB attention to actually make a difference in their timeline, more than AS can muster up I'm sure, but every little bit counts.

That sounds like a challenge

Do you realize how big AS is? The sphere of influence is significant. We often drive used saw prices.

Well just start a campaign then and we will see how big the AS crowd really :hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:is.

Everyone that's interested in one, go say so on their FB page. We already know they're not going to tell you when, so don't ask. Just let it be known that you're interested in that model.

Surely, and I believe a US release means that the VB factory need to tool up to make it - actually, I believe that factor have postponed US releases of new models in the US before.......

I agree, but also assumed it would be quite difficult to get that entire sphere to agree on one specific thing

But in the spirit of "Hey everyone take a sec to post this to Stihl's FB:__________" it might get some numbers behind it.

Maybe, but I can't really contribute to that - as I am in Norway, where the model has been out for a while.....:msp_biggrin:

Not sure, Of the saws I own/owned I am not sure any of them came from the US. I know the 361, 660, & 441M all came from Germany. 192T I am not sure.

I just liked their comment, and Brad's...

Ditto.

Stihl's Website

I sent Stihl an email through their website telling them I would love to buy the MS241 and got a polite email back that "currently" there are no plans to bring it to US. Maybe everyone could write them a little note there as well.

Here the 200/201 has the 3005 bar mount.

Doesn't the 241 etc as well?

 

[chopperfreak2k1]

i think the 241 is a 3005 mount.

This saw is awesome!!

I got the muff mod almost done and put some time on it today and it flat rips, for a little guy. I want ALL M-tronic saws.
Here is the almost done MM on the 241.

I dont know what to comment on Stihls fb page? "I really like my 241cm, I wish you would sell it here so parts are easier for me to get."? LOL
It was a surprise to see my pictures posted on Facebook. Greg Carnrick works for Bed Bath Beyond and graduated in 1998 needs to know it is appropriate to ask before posting someone's picture first .

 

[chopperfreak2k1]

daggon Greg!

MM looks real good

 

[tallguys]

Just got to tell you FlyLow, yours are just about the coolest muffler mods I've ever seen on a saw. ::thumbsup::

Reminds me of the Borla exhaust I had on one of my Rams.

Power and weight numbers are almost identical to an ms250... :confused2:

Sure, it's cute and all, smooth spring A/V, but it weighs as much as an 026 and has a half a hp less? What's the attraction? I'm sure it would be fun to run it for the saw-for-every-day-of-the-week guy, but... do you think this would ever be a strong seller if priced close to a 261? :confused2: And it would have to be priced close with such a quality build.

What am I missing? The intangible throttle response, balance, etc??? :msp_confused:
