A Couple "New" Toys

Well ive been saving for an MS400. Recently learned of an MS462 powerhead being only slightly heavier than a 400. (thanks Yawner for this tidbit )
Happened to find this BARELY used Mtronic one for less than the out the door price of a new 400. 28" bar with a full skip chain included. Wasnt looking for it, but why not get more saw for less price?
By coincidence this MS261c was for sale in the same town so i made an hour trek (one way) and bought two "new" saws today. Been casually looking for a good used one to replace my carb version one. Only a few tanks through it. I had wanted Mtronic when i bought mine in 2019 on ebay. Too good of a deal at the time to send back, so kept it. My 460 & 261 now for sale. $950 for the 462 & $500 for the 261. Thought i did okay for the money.

My birthday is in April. Time to start saving AGAIN for my 400...unless another saw happens to come along! Hoard on and cut safe my friends!

 

Sweet 2fer! That’s the way to splash out buddy.
I love the 462
Get the outer dogs for both.

 

SWEEET!

 

You only have to sell a few loads of BL to replace your pocket $.

 

I like the 462 better than the 500i. Which is why I sold the 500 for a ridiculous amount of money (2400.00), and now have two 462'. You done good.

 

Nice saws!!!
I really like my ms400, you gotta try one... but the 462 is bigger and meaner!!
Enjoy.

 

Best of luck with your news toys, Brad!

 

Pm'd you on the 460

 

Nicely done Brad! You'll love that 462 I think.

 

Sweet saw get Brad!! I can see many years of service from ‘em.

 

Was your 500 made of gold?

 

lol. Had to be made of air, gold would be too heavy. Just a weird deal. I STILL after 14 months or so of buying the 500, am the only guy in the valley to have bought one. I know the owners, and the manager of the stihl dealer, and she says that they have almost two dozen sold whenever they may come in. So at the hardware store I was talking about the five hundred, and a californian invader heard. Said he wanted one bad, and to throw out a crazy number. Well I did. Little did I know I should have said three grand. Anything is worth what someone will pay for it. I went and got another 462, some new bars, an fs56 weed eater, and still had enough lettuce to take the wife out for a king cut prime rib.

 

Your gonna live that 462!! I have one and it's my go to saw now . Lots of COOL aftermarket stuff for them also

 

Good deal Brad. Pretty much my 2 saw plan. The 400 is a great saw but really to close to the 462. As you know the only reason I have mine is because I wasn't sure about getting my 462 back after the theft. Like Chud said get the outer dawgs for both. I'll try and post the p/n's for you.

 

Nice buy..Let's see them put to work. You have same problem now which one to grab...haha

 

Nice job buddy , they look great.
Hope we can get together soon for a cut-a-thon to put them through the paces.

 

Nice toy acquisition. Look good together. Put them to work...

 

Welcome to the club. Lots of great folks here sharing knowledge and humor.

 

CAD strikes again

 

Correct me if I am wrong but another member recalls when BRAD made a statement about " Never getting CAD"
Now I don't know how to do a search here to look at old posts so I can't confirm this but assuming this is true I have to ask....

" Hey BRAD , did you get the CAD vaccine? "
I'm guessing that is a big ole' NO.
