Update: Kinell! What a saw.
-
So you know Aspen is far lighter than water?! 5L can should never weigh 5kg plus can. Assuming you know this, what actually does Aspen weigh per ml?!
-
Well that clears that up then! 🤣

Hi. I was running Aspen for a while but recently have decided I can't afford it. So back to stinking car / shed / cab / whatever. A quick search confirms my assumption that Fuel Duty Applies to Aspen - how wrong?! 57 pence per litre vs 52.95* on petrol. Doesn't fuel duty apply to road use? Ignoring the recent change in red diesel usage class. Oh yeah officer, I just loove running my RS6 on Aspen innit. £3.87/litre ex. WTF.

20% is only a recent figure. For years, HETAS specification was 25%.

He'll be celebrating. Obviously. Privately or not, depends on which building he's in or company of I guess.

Reason for sale?! -
Sorry yes, to confirm I plumped for the 500 despite the price extra. Unbelievably light and lively. 461 felt relaxed but better made. Mint 500 won me over but irrespective of official specs feels way lighter. As light as some 60cc class saws.

Euroforest 100%. Tilhill after that Absolute scum.

Tried both. Decision made - very quickly. 😉

Still shouldn't be day rate. Tonnage or volume rate. Only fair. And appropriate.

Them boat anchors I'd need to be a silverback

Absolutely not cost effective unless you're talking oversize hardwood or less than 200 ton in the job. Mechanise the job. Bollocks to hand felling. Even bigger bollocks to tree surgeons doing it. There aren't any snedding knives on a harvester. Snedding 🤮

If I was considering a 362 I'd have said so in my original post. A 400 will be my next new saw. Personally have already had a 362 and it was gutless shite. Don't tell me, I'm about to turn the page and someone is going to suggest a Husqvarna 🙄. Y'all missing the point. A friend is selling the 461 and 500 at the stated prices. This thread is exclusively about them and them only. It's not difficult to understand! Surely I don't have to put in capital shouting letters in the op that other recommendations are NOT what I'm after. I had an Echo 620 which trounced the 362 but was heavy.
-
That's a 362. No thanks. 🙄

Can't make my mind up 🙄. Been offered used but both in very good condition a Stihl MS461 vs Stihl MS500i. Will be used with 25" bar the majority of the time. 20" very occasionally. Already got a MS660 running a 28/30/36 if needs must but doesn't relish it. Superb on 28/30. But want to help my elbow heal so above choice is before me I've heard the 500 is perfect on a 25". Light, fast, snappy. Likes a drink. Also heard it won't gear down on her like a 46 series saw. Used to own a 460 and fine on 25". Is a 461 about the same as the old 460 or what? Is a 46# really torquier than a 500? Struggling to find exact weight of 461. I'm not confusing this with a 462. The latter isn't on the table. 461 is £450. 500i is £975. Decisions decisions. Any wisdom gratefully rx.

Most definitely not an arb waste machine tho. You can barely squeeze a ring bigger than 9" down into the splitting chamber. Then the splitter ram power is pretty low, max 5.6 tonne ish. Dalen 2054 is the kiddy.

That stump looks classic farmer cut to me. Back cut coming from above and tilted down to hinge.
-
When the kid gets to court for this he is apparently going to identify as a beaver.

Evidently not a forester.

Overuse of the word "vile". Fashionable word I know but..

Summary. About right.
