How do we not have a chainsaw photo thread?

Isn't it funny. If this thread had started 5+ years ago it would have been a Stihl extravaganza.

Take note Stihl!

Yup! That could be right in my case. 5+ Years ago I started turning my back on the big S because there were better fish swimming in the chainsaw pond.

The problem Stihl has is they made some great saws a decade ago, then followed up with some mediocre saws. The 661 was promising, but we'll have to wait for them to get rid of the glitches first. The 461's greatest compliment is it didn't gain too much weight and it's better on fuel(but let's be honest, a 6.1 litre Hemi truck is better on fuel than my old 046). I would still say I prefer my old bone standard 046 mag to the 461. Meanwhile, Husky has been tearing the place up with their 555/545/560/562 combo. They had teething problems, too. However, Stihl has yet to answer any of these saws which have been out for years now. The MS261 and 362 handle like the proverbial pig in mud. My wrap-handle MS361 still weighs less than a stock MS362... And for reference, the new Husqvarna 562(which weighs slightly more than the 560xp) weighs exactly what the old MS361 weighed, and I think it's handles a touch better and has far better AV. Stihl have their work cut out for them.

All my current saws; Stihl 056AV, a 5500 Echo (I love this saw) and the brilliant 020AV....A bit like their owner, old:001_tongue:.

I did have a small 'collection' but sold them on as I changed lifestyle/jobs, being pre digital camera I only have a library picture of the awesome Danarm saw. The man hanging on the end where the oiler lived must have had some courage:thumbup1:

I'm looking for a 460 to do up and add to my current line up.

Have you brought it Adam?

 

I saw what it made on eBay and was a bit shocked, but after my 560 broke down badly for the fourth time in as many months I understand why you paid a fair wack for it!
