Chainsaw Repair

Gen 3 coming out in 261. Anyone compared to Gen 2? Least big improvement IMO of Gen 2 over Gen 1.

The third generation of the STIHL MS 261 C-M gasoline chainsaw will be available at the beginning of 2020.

The saw offers 20 percent more cutting capacity at a reduced weight. STIHL achieved this by shaving weight from the cylinder and slimming down the sprocket cover and bumper spikes.

The 261 received a comprehensive makeover with an optimized engine as well as a new cutting attachment.

According to STIHL the saw has an extra 0.1 kW engine performance making it the best power to weight ratio in its displacement class.

Third generation Stihl MS 261 C-M available in Q1 of 2020
