stihl ms461

[Hotrod81]

Bit the bullet today and ordered a 461 25" bar for £780. This will join my husky 365 and stihl 064. Was a toss up between this and 576 husqvarna. Did I make the right choice and is that a good price considering I live in the middle of nowhere.

Great saw on a 25" never tried it on anything bigger but would think itll start to struggle a little. 👍

Won't need to put bigger than 25" on it. Thinking about getting an 18" for it also. I will be running the 365 on a 15" cos it's mad and have a 30" on the 064. This is my first proper new saw ( had an efco 147 but not counting that as a saw) so nervous that I made the right choice.

For me it would be the right choice, use it for logging (8hr days cutting) and felling etc. great saw i my eyes. Its meant to be crazy on a 18/20" bar👍. Have you thought of getting a sugiharra bar for it.

You get a free naked woman with every one ......No actually they are very well made and hard wearing it seems . I have the pro light weight ones and they make the saw a little less nose heavy which is good if you are using longer bars .

You chauvinistic pig.

 

I'd wait till you've worn the original bar out first, then upgrade to Sugi.

 

No point relegating a perfectly good stihl bar the the shed!

Is that like a Tamworth ?
