    Ya I did some noodling with it. The 404 chain in it is grabby. I ended up doing more with my 044 with 3/8s. But it is super cool , really loud too.

    Great pics, Redfin! Of course saw pics are awesome, but I really enjoy that Lawn-Boy mower pic. I grew up running a fully green colored one at my grandparents- loved it- made mowing fun:thumbs:
    Never seen one with an orange deck, tho... Painted to match...????

    The lawnboy was the first mower I owned. It broke many years ago before I had any clue how to repair 2strokes. Wifey said if its not running before we move to our new place she was tossing it. The boy and I rehabbed it and he just had to paint it.

    You could probably get an equally representative picture on the Husky site but I just got this one delivered on Tuesday late in the day. It has yet to be lubricated or gassed.

    These aren't saws. But they are all of the Creamsicle variety. The KM 130 R I got last year about this time. The HS 46 (hedge trimmer) and BG 86 (blower) I got within the last month. Great yard tools.

    Dang, that 661c looks SWEEEEEEEET!!

    How are those Stihl blowers? I have a cheap electric blower (sears or something?) that is just TERRIBLE. It has a hard time blowing a single leave out of it's own way besides saw dust stuck in the grass. I want to replace it with a real blower, without breaking the bank. I mainly use it to blow saw dust out of the grass after bucking in the yard.

    Any advice?

    Machria, Try laying down plastic or a tarp under your bucking site. Makes clean up a breeze!

    Dgeesman, from your pic it's look like the stihl is a 461 but the double felling marks throw me off...is that how the 2015 461's are now? I'm curious because I saw a ebay 461 like this...

    Thats a 461 new from this year. I don't know if all 2015s look like that or not.

    Thanks, I have an old carpet I roll out sometimes, but I often have to move and it's a pita to move it and the splitter, and the bucking jig... so lately I gave up on that. ;)

    I had a cheap "weed eater" brand leaf blower (20 some cc) and it wasn't terrible, but it wouldn't push little rocks off my driveway.

    I also had a Kawasaki back pack blower (60 some cc). It was a great unit, but old and needed work. A buddy offered me a few bucks for it, and I let him take it off my hands.

    This BG 86 lists around $230, but is a well built blower that has good power and good A/V.

    The BG 56 is the $140-$150 unit and is probably every bit as good. The 86 had slightly better wind speed. Having talked the dealer down a few bucks? I went with the 86 and took a free hat. :)
