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.

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. :D

I want to thank everyone for noticing my change in appearance. I have been eating better and exercising and it is starting to show:)

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!

Pete,

Congratulations on the new saw. I worked my way through college as a lawn mower and chain saw mechanic and you can't beat a Stihl IMO. Be careful with that beast!

Nice saw ...

I have an older Stihl (031?) from the 70's that still works just dandy.
