ms 460

Turns out it was a brand new ex stock 460 indeed. Got it with a 25'' bar. Its the biggest saw Ive ever used, having upgraded from a 261. Cant believe the speed and guts it has for its weight. Granted I wouldn't like to cross cut all day with it, but what a saw. Very happy cutting this season.

Thanks, first real outing its had. Cross-cut about 8m3 of billets with it during that weekend session. Should look a little rougher as time goes by. Its been dry and warm here this autumn so far, thus the surroundings still don't look to muddy and grimy yet.

Nice one! Get the dual port muffler if it doesn't have it - makes a huge difference. I spent a good part of a summer in Oregon on a landing cross cutting logs with an 046mag. After a few days, I could barely feel my fingers for the vibration and the cold.

 

 

Nice 046R there wyk, looks rather clean though

I sorta miss that saw. But I ended up going with modded 372's since due to the far better AV, and slightly less weight. I said summer in the post previous. I meant winter! It was 0 for a high some days.

 

Not too long ago I was bucking a few logs that a storm had brought on to a buds bayou. They were both saw logs - 4' X 50' that must have been submerged from a logging operation decades earlier. There was no way to get them out of where they lodged by using machinery or even horses. And the river was going to swell again and risk taking those logs away. So, I went in and bucked them as large as we could handle, and quartered a few while standing in freezing water in the sleet, and then moving the chunks by hand up to a landing. After an entire day of that, I decided to go with a 372 for the AV. I could barely open my hands. The spalting of the douglas fir from sitting under water for whoever knows how long was literally awesome. Lots of dark purples and reds and neon pinks. Much of it turned into furniture and exposed rafters and joists, decking and benches, etc.

 

Good lookin saw though"
