No ported saws yet ….. been wanting to send an 044 and 066 out but funds have been tighter than I’d like

Dear blunt, I am just like you on the
Dinero. I am having more month than money. Buck

Do you have that many big trees in Hawaii?

Do you have that many big trees in Hawaii?

We do have some good sized trees out here but I can’t really justify having this many saws. I mill the wood I use for my wood work & use chainsaws for pretty much everything. Here’s some monkey pod, which gets huge.

That's gorgeous. Reminds me of Aussie wood.

Thank you. It’s one of my favorite woods to use.
Further derail. Carved koa bowl on a carved coffee stump base. That grain surprised me.

4 stock
1 with a DP muffler cover
2 ported, 1 of the stockers in waiting to be sent to CFB.

It’s time to thin the herd some, but I really don’t want to let them go. They all have their pluses and minuses, and honestly I have two really clean MS 461s that are almost too nice for me to start to run the snot out of, but I also don’t want to let go because they’re so nice.

Oh well.

I’d keep the 461s. I just acquired two. One NOS and the other is like new MMWS. I wish I had jumped on the 461 bandwagon years ago. Can’t even come up with a good reason why I didn’t, somehow I just overlooked the model until now. I’d put it in my top 3 of what Im running now.

I find 461’s/460’s to be the best do-all saw for what I do, stock they’re torquey but lazy (in my opinion), ported they’re perfect.
I do a lot of maintenance and am very particular about my saws but 120+ cord later and the only non maintenance thing I’ve had to replace is a chain adjuster.

I’ve been a fan of them since they first came out. I don’t know why, but they feel more refined in my hands than a 460 or 046 does. And I really like the early 046 with D-jug and bigger fuel tanks.

I own 5 of the bigger 1128s (046/460/461s.) The 046 and 460 would be the first two to go. The 460 has been worked over by Randy, if that says anything. Which is odd, I find the 046/460 to accelerate better than the 461s I’ve run, but that rear handle vibration just destroys my right hand at the end of the day.

Who knows? All I know for sure is that I don’t need 7 chainsaws.

That’s such a great size saw for cutting timber. I love my 460 as well. Lately been using it more for bucking, but if I get into larger timber, it’s the first saw I reach for.

5 stock 1 ported. The ported one (Echo CS-500P) wouldn't have gotten done except that Echo left so much on the table power wise with that model. That done, she will outrun my newer CS-501P no problem.

 

[rburg]

2 ported, one with muffler mod, 8 stock. When I actually cut wood by myself, the stock saws do just fine for me, but the ported ones are fun to run!

 

[farminkarman]

All my running ones I use are ported

Same

 

[Hoser]

My 460 doesn’t seem to bother me that much but I came from running Mac’s and homelites so they all seem pretty smooth to me

 

[Dustin4185]

5 ported, 2 stock. If/when my stock 462 gives up or moves on, I may have Randy build me a V2!

Not in front of my saws at the moment but they just popped in my head. I’d got away from saws for a bit as my life was taking me in another direction, but over the last few months, I’ve started dabbling my toes in saws again adding quite a few. I realized as I was calling the models off in my head by size that for the first time in the 15 years since I got really into saws, I have more stock saws than ported. The ratio is 2:1 not including those in my nos collection.

What’s your current ratio?

You forgot to add closet saws to your list.

 

[bryanr2]

only saws I had that really bothered my hands was a stihl 041 I had and then a ported 064. By the time I added the 064 I was well acquainted with Husq and so the vibes were noticeable to me.
