    Everyone wanted to see pictures so here they are! Not like you bunch of woodenheads ain't seen a 461 and 66o about a million times!

    I bought the 461 Friday so it hasn't seen any wood yet. Still not sure it was the best choice but I got a C-note more than I was originally asking ($875)for my old saw and extra bars and chains so I went for it! Probably next week Stihl will announce a new 461 that's M-tronic equipped and has a vastly improved breather system. That's generally how my luck runs!:picard:

    I've had the 660 for about a month and it hasn't even had a full tank of fuel put through it yet, but it has eaten a large cherry tree. I will be installing the 32" bar, pictured, and a full skip chain on the 660 and moving the 25" down to the 461 and just holding the 20" bar in reserve.:saw:

    The saws are nice but the kicker is the photo shoot on the dining room table.

    Yep, mostly ash killed by the little green monsters. They are in the 40" range.
