Makita 7901

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Just been to MST (thanks TimberCutterDartmoor)

Sadly no MS460 in stock to look at but had a chance to see an MS441 . I have to say this felt beautifully balanced but does an MS460 feel the same? Would the MS441 be OK? I realize it is less power but Stihl list it with a 25" bar or are they being optimistic? Also doing a good deal on the 7901, decisions decisions!

 

Sorry for more questions:blushing:

 

Tiv or Lee Mill? 460 weighs no more than 441 and I couldn't live with the lower power/weight ratio. The 441 is deffo smoother, I found it too rubbery as it were. 460 stiffer and takes a long time to run in.

Just an update. I have gone and bought the MS 460. The Makita would have done all I needed for less money but I just took a liking to the Stihl.

Here’s a blast from the past, since this thread our 7901  got ported by spud and did a lot of work before eventually breaking and being left in the corner of the shed. We got it running again and treated it to a new bar. She’s still a great saw.

As Tom has brought this thread back to life happy to report the MS460 is still going strong
