Stihl 460M

well i decided to put money down on a new 460 8) instead of the used 660. nice saw cant wait till i pay it off. then it let the games begin  ;D

My 460 is the one I grab for 90% of my cutting. Great saw. Tip.....use the compression relief to shut it off. one less step to start and your rope will last alot longer.

How much is that new 460? If you are interested in looking at other brands, the Dolmar 7900 will outcut the 460, weighs less, vibrates less, and in most cases costs less. Dolmar is a quality brand, the only shortcoming being that some areas have few dealers.

BTW, I have a 460 Mag(among many other saws). The next bigger saw will be a 7900.

thanks for the tip saw. so what do you do press the decomp vavle and it shuts it off, or press then shut off?

[David_c]

hey russ try no dealers in this area heck never even seen one. thanks though. oh yeh 695 with 24" bar.

 Thats more than I paid for my 385XP with a 24" b/c ..but whatever floats your boat I agree with Russ the Dolmars are a great saw I have heard nothing but good about them..There are a few dealers out my way David if your interested?

you bought your 385 online did'nt you Rob. i could've probably got it for a few dollars less but i got it from the dealer 10 min from the house.

David,
I just press the decomp and it shuts off. 1 pull and it starts up. I only hit the swithc first thing in the day or if it gets col enough to need the choke.

[David_c]

thanks saw so what other saws you have.

My 066 is awesum but then again so are my two from three 028's.  Did i mention that my 038 really chunks up the larger firewood pieces? And I paid $50 for my one hander 009. still or wait a minute Stihl, listen its the chain and how sharp it is that really matters. Although there seems to be no substitute for HP. :D :D

[David_c]

hey woodmills1 your right about a sharp chain. but horsepower is more fun. it is also my intention to do a little comparison i have a husky 372 & 350 all ready i wanted to try a stihl becuase i have never had one and i want to know which i like better if any.
