Ms460 old! It's my most reliable and favourite saw, admittedly spud has worked his magic on it. Just gutted I have a 661 as I delayed my purchase until the last 660s had gone! You don't need to buy an old saw to spend time working on them just buy a new husky!

 

That's a bit harsh, both of the two big saw manufacturers have had their foibles:sneaky2:

Just to clarify

 

I wasn't saying the 260, 460 or 660 were old, but older meaning not current models & not referring to reliability although a 260 is better than your average 261 & Id have a 460/660 over the new ones.

 

just like I am older than most of you here, but not old

:biggrin:I new what you meant ..

It just struck me as funny that a saw (ms 260) that was still current in2009- 2010 ish could now be classed as old . The Ms 260 and 361 have now become favorites of mine after always having Husq and Dollmar out of choice.

I don't think of Stihl as old unless they start with 0 like my 036 or a 2 if they are Husqvarna like the 266xp and they are still good saws.

Been away for a bit , so surpised at all the responses to the post, after an initial slow start. Plenty options now to consider. Thanks you all.
