    There isn't going to be a tree in Ohio that's safe now. :tree:

    There is a plan in motion for my next saw. And I'm always looking for a rebuild project.:thumbs:

    I look for reason to keep running the 460 I don't see a reason for anything else. I would add however that the lightest saw you got would be the limbing saw.

    I hear 460's are addictive and/or contagious. I avoid them at all costs.

    Must be in the ground water around here ................. Dex has been drinking the same stuff too. Now me, I have a true excuse for mine. It was CL advertised as a 440 and was missing the tag. I traded old ammo for it figuring it would give me a future parts machine for my "other" 440. Turned out to be a 460.

    I swear that in the heat of CAD I would never have bought a 460 knowingly ..............:whistle:

    Guess what made it here today! Worst part was my wife texted me it was here around 11 today and I had to wait until I got home a few minutes ago to see it. Wow that made for a long day at work lol.
    I gotta brag on Mastermech for a sec, the saw was packaged beautifully and it arrived safe and sound. It was also exactly as he described (not that I expected any different)!!

    I can't wait to run this thing tomorrow especially since it's the first Stihl I have ever owned. I have a couple of small logs sitting out back to try it on but they aren't going to be much of a workout I'm afraid.
    Yes, in the pictures it's sitting on the counter and no my wife was not impressed but in her defense she just rolled her eyes and kept walking lol

    I guess I would just need to run some Canola oil through the bar lube tank during the carving so it would be edible. Lol
