It's been a few years since I checked out the new Stihl line. I have 3 Stihl saws... MS170 for limb trimming (hot knife through butter), my old reliable 026 Farm Boss (2002) with 20 inch blade (rebuilt it a couple years ago due to CONSTANT use) and newer 261 Pro. All have been exceptionally reliable. Went in for some oil and noticed that newer models do not have the anti vibration "split" design for the 261/50 cc models where the cover for the air filter detaches. Have they done something inside and just gone with one poly cover?
