    image.jpg Well, after wanting one for years, my local dealer advertised a special deal on Craiglist (need to stop checking that everyday.) A 461 with a 20" bar for $849. Guess what came home with me today!

    Probably won't run it for a while-too darn hot! My brother has a 460 and a 461-so I've ran them. Heck, I grew up using a Pro Mac 850-this is a lightweight compared to that.
    Gatorade-that box is a leftover from my football coaching days! Didn't realize it was in the picture!

    I bought one new 2 years ago and love it. I'm running a 20" bar and chain as well. I added big dogs and a roller catcher. Great setup but sometimes the big dog bite too hard. They took some getting use to!

    Yeah, I have a bunch of trees that need to come down but they're gonna have to wait until this heat wave is over. I ain't cuttin' nuffin at 94°!

    Thanks for all the compliments. It is probably a bit much for someone that doesn't even burn wood-but I cut 35-40 cords with my brother every year. He has a OWB and heats a 2500 sq ft house and a 2100 sq ct shop. He also sells wood.
    Cutting wood is one of my hobbies-heck, I've got friends that spend 3-400 dollars on a single golf club. I know I'll have a big grin on my face in October or November when we start cutting.

    That's great you are helping your brother, will be a lot more fun to help him now!!!

    That's another reason I got my ms461....I don't really buy anything, and I heat my house and water strictly with wood, so I figure it a wash!!!!
