interesting ms460 review

[Steve Bullman]

this made me smile....apparently you only need to run saws on half revs....oh the fuel ive been wasting all these years!!!!

 

I have recently purchased a Stihl MS-460 Magnum with a 28" bar. I must say the saw is extremely powerful. It will cut through an 18" tree that is dead and seasoned in seconds. I have noticed that it has very good fuel economy and has very low emissions. The only down fall it that it is extremely heavy, but then I did buy an extremely large saw to cut very large trees. If you want a light saw, purchase something smaller. If you want a saw that will cut through anything and keep going, buy this saw. It has more power than you will ever need. The saw is extremely easy to maintain. Chains can be swapped in just a few minutes. The chain tensioner is extremely easy to use. The saw has excellent mid range and high rpm torque. Most trees only require half throttle and no more than three quarters throttle. I have yet to require full throttle and I have bucked trees 24" in diameter.

Wheres that from?? I'm interested in purchasing a 460 especially if I don;t have to use it full tilt ever - much quieter and better for the environment!

Woah, the guy has bucked trees nearly 2ft across. Is he a pro logger? Must be.

You lot are all backward not knowing that.

 

If you make a sawing motion during cutting you can drop the revs even more.
