Mastermind Meets The MS461

[danimal]

Ok, just called around stihl ms 461 is $1007.00 with bar and chain, Husqvarna 390 is $880.00 with bar and chain. Opinions please?

Tree90. For sure..

Tree90. For sure..

This might not be a popular thing to say out loud........but.

The MS461 will be still killing timber when that 390XP has been in the scrap heap for a decade.

There is is.......I said it !!!!!!!

Looks like 461 got the mastermind nod of approval

So true Mr banana stuffer.
I just work on me own chit, and a few peeps I know.
Me ol buddy , retired husky wrencher is my go to guy for splitting cases and the occasional wall I run into.
What you work on in a couple months is what I have dun in 20 yrs..

Sthils,, great saws. Huskys,, GREAT saws.. Dolkitas R great saws..

I luv me sum Swedish 2 series muscle meself..my tree90 is my go to big saw. Just feels rite. Never ran a 460 much, 660 feels like a big turd to me.

I had to use one off a poly flywheel saw ,460/660

So if I've been following along right any of these coils will work. 1309, 1312, 1314.
Would the 1309 be the best to pick due to it possibly having a better timing curve?

 

[mdavlee]

I've replaced cranks in 460s and 660s more than anything. 390 and 372 aren't far behind.

 

[Mastermind]

I've just used the 1122 1314, and the 1128 1314.

 

[Canadian farm boy]

I'll have to look through my box of coils and see what I have. Im pretty sure I have a 1314 squirreled away somewhere

Those 2 series Huskys are tough as nails. I'm not sure what happened.........but for Husqvarna, those were the glory days.

Maybe my tree90 might stay out of da scrap pile awhile,eh?

Got sum logger buds up by fifelaker,
Got a logger buddy down here. They laugh when I mention stihl to them.... Just saying.

I cut for me and 3 other people, if I have the time..CUT FOR FUN!
Bout 35 cord since nov. Mostly cut when cool or cold out.
And you know what mix I run, plus clean filters n always sharp chains.
Hope to make me saws last w/out hiccups...

They seem to be standerd issue in Oz too from my limited experience
