    Yeah I was going to buy a 24" but MM convinced me to buy the 28" ES Lite. Been waiting for a while for a saw like this and throwing some money aside. I was looking at the 372xp but this came along and I have always heard great things about the 460. Hoping this saw becomes my main saw hence the 28" and 20" bar. Here's to hoping I get off early enought to run it tomorrow.

    It had a steady diet of BioPlus bar oil so you should be good to go for turkey carving. :thumbs:

    That 28" ES light is a perfect match on those saws. Those two bars will make it your go- to machine in all but the smallest wood.

    That's one helluva kit you got there Certified! I'm looking forward to seeing the pics of the mountains of wood that thing produces.

    Maybe I will see that one again one day this spring. :)

    Only had about 45 minutes of sunlight when I got home so I gassed it up, filled it with bar oil, and slapped the 20" bar on it since the Logs laying in the yard weren't that big. It fired on the second pull and let's just say it sounds awesome. Got one log bucked and it started raining, go figure. Anyhow it has tons of power and I can't wait to sink it in some large stuff this weekend! Yes I had a huge smile on my face that thing is definitely the nicest saw I have ever owned! :D You could definitely tell there is all kinds of power and torque. That 20" bar isn't even going to slow it down. Can't wait for the weekend.
