Stihl MS460

[5 shires]

Hi Wayne. Well spotted, it is. 25" bar and I was still having to come in from either side! I almost bought a 66 out of my own pocket for that job!

 

I'm doing good thanks. I made the APF but must have missed you. I wish I'd camped out now! Definitely going to camp at next years arb show.

 

Did you buy anything shiny?

 

Your not going to be leave this Joe, but no I didt. I went for the top handled bat /husky but was advised just to hang on another year or so. I did get a good couple of Tyne rakes though. Thought bout getting greenmech 130 on finance but changed my mind. I will sort that in 2 yrs when next time the show is on will have anough for a good chunk deposit by then. My arbor eater will last till then I hope.

 

You missed a good couple of nights camping and yes you'll have to make the effort to camp at ARB SHOW and APF next time.what day did you go on, the saterday?

461 is a worthy replacement of the 460 and I think the time it's been around for now and the positive accolades it receives is proof.

Hi Jon ya we all had a great time and for a couple of days at least could forget about all the crap and bad things happening in the world. Then Monday comes and starts again. Yep deffo be at the tuckers will sort out a B&B next week:lol:

HI JOE whats 460 like on 25" bar our 461 on a 20" it a good saw thanks jon

 

 

So long as it's kept sharp it'll pull the 25" bar fine Jon. If you're used to it on a 20" bar you'll probably hate it though. If you're doing a lot of cutting on a 25" bar a 660 is the better option, in my opinion.

Yes mate I could really do with a decent catch up.

 

The Husqy rep with the fantastic 'tache was doing his best to extoll the virtues of battery powered saws to me but the Mrs was getting impatient and tbh I wasn't convinced.

 

Besides, you can't be a real tree surgeon with a toy saw. It tells the ladies you have a small willy.

Good job I didt get one then, can't have the ladies thinking that. Ya I was a bit concerned that they were't a 100% waterproof. Need one really as am doing a bit of tree work around schools now and a bat / saw just the tool for that kind of work. Everything has its place. You should know that Joe surely ? also glad I wast the only one dragging the orther half round the show, difference was I did it fior 3 days:thumbup:

Run my 461 on a 25" mostly cutting elm and beech. Keep it sharp and its a joy to use. I also have an 18" for it and that turns it into an animal.

She must be a very patient woman! Lizzie enjoyed most of it but I doubt she'd have stuck around for another day!

 

I've never quite understood the whole noise sensitive thing, unless you're also buying a battery powered chipper!
