    So... 4 years ago my wive and I started planning to build our new house and we thought it would be a great Idea to put in an efficient wood burning fireplace.

    I knew I had to start stock pileing wood so I read some reviews (unfortunately not in this site) and baught a big box store 50cc saw thinking it would meet all my needs. Well long story short the saw didn't make it's 2 year warranty, luckily I got my money back.

    After looking for awhile on CL I lost patience and baught a new Stihl 391 thinking it would work for a 1 saw plan. Well it didn't take long to figure out it is to big/heavy for trim/limb. I found a 025 on cl for $125. Pretty good 2 saw plan. Then I find a real nice 460 for $750 and get that. Then good 441 for $500 can't pass that up. Well how about a like new 461 for $700 pulled the trigger! Now my 025 blows and I got a Bunch of big saws and no limb/trim saw!

    My cad is sorta under control i passed on the chance to buy a nice jred 670 west coast the other day, mostly cause money is a little tight and i already have two 70cc saws. I want a 461 but not gona buy new i think a deal will come along this summer.
