Mid range saws

[Brushcutter]

What would you say if I wanted a 24 inch bar ?

 

I've had a 24" on the 576xp bit tip heavy. but it pulls well in hardwood its as big as you'd want to go though.

The 461 is epic, run mine with a 25" and oversized dogs, it's being used daily coppicing over stood alder at the mo and flys through full bar length stuff without bogging down at all. I now alders soft but still a very satisfying saw to use. Not used it in the tree yet, but used a 441 plenty which are a similar weight with no problems, nicely balanced.

Jon, the problem with having an 880 as your mid-range saw is that it limits your options a bit when choosing your big saw.

 

Easy, stihl 10-cube as the big saw, just a tad expensive, but runs an 88" fine
