HI MATTY my 461 is good on a 20" bar mate im very happy loads of power on that 20"bar thanks jon

Yep use a 461 on a 25" bar brilliant saw👍

Same. Run a 460 on 25" and it is great. Never put a 20" on it but I can imagine it makes your marbles tingle!

Make sure it has good compression, generally looks tidy, (not tarted up), should fire from cold in a couple of pulls, & run from cold ticking over, no rattles.

good reliable saw, check the anti vibes as the saw isnt the most friendly on the hands, check the tank for holes and dents and generaly look over make sure you use it cutting something

They are a strong saw, even better with a dual port (magnum) muffler, some have a nasty kick on the starter (older machines)
