    Personal Gloat!!!

    After my old chainsaw died last fall I knew I was in need of another.

    This is what I bought today. A Stihl 460 with a 28" bar.

    As the saying goes, It cuts like butter!

    I am extremely jealous, I have the ms310 with a 24" bar, its slightly under powered with a 24" and should probably have a 20" but every now and then I am cutting up something that needs a 24".

    Hopefully one day I'll be able to get something like the 460.

    Congratz!


    btw, nice profile pic.

    Thumbs up

    Congratulations. I have the same saw only mine wears a 25" bar and chain. I love it. In fact I feel like cutting some wood right now.

    Looks like buying that saw has de-aged you by a year or two.

    Great saw!

    Hefting it around for a few hours is quite an exercise program on its own. It's amazing how heavy a few extra inches of bar length start to feel after a few hours.

    Heck of a saw. Must be getting old. Just thinking about using a 28" bar makes my back and shoulders ache!
