Thank you Jeff. Hopefully he likes it. He kinda has it in his head if it's not Echo or Stihl its junk. I've told him more than once you can't throw a blanket over an entire manufacturers product line base on your limited experience with plastic case home owner junk that he gets in his shop to repair.
This filthy animal is next. Last of my Pusqvarna endeavors. Time to go back on the saw reduction plan.
Good luck with the reduction plan. I tell myself that too while I'm on the lookout for cheap saws to fix. I think we need to start a therapy thread.
I've pretty much used up my toy budget for a couple months too considering I brought the new 543 and 4350 plus the used 241.
It's been a great saw the 2 years I've had it. I've got some bigger dead-standing trees and some big blow downs. Looking to get an ms462 or used 461 here soon.
Nice, I’ve got bigger, better saws but if I have to make just a few cuts I reach for the 251. 462 has the self adjusting carb which I like and the 461 is old school muscle. To be on the safe side you should probably get both.
