If it ever fails me, I will let you know, but for now I'm just happy to keep my rear brakes for longer!But I am also 100% positive that the F150 could benefit by using the brakes to improve traction on the road to your cabin.

Front too! Except that pulsing the brakes at relatively low speed and load is <<< stopping with a trailer or hard stops from high speed. Insignificant amount of heat or wear comparatively.
Because I go up to my property a lot with the truck, and it is mostly uphill with some sharp switchbacks (unpaved 2 mi), I wore out rear pads in 20,000 miles when I was not turning off the traction control. Now, I always turn it off before I go up.
Even if you went up there every weekend for a year, there is no way that 100 miles of traction control use was the cause of brake pads wearing out prematurely. Sorry.
Pretty much puts and end to which one is best..
No joke Steve.
Saw this the other day, atheist they let you know up front these days.
I have a 461R, seems vibey. Any have soft mounts or know how to tell the diff? Not much stihl exp. Thanks
I'd sell it and buy a 462. May not be as durable, but it's a lot lighter, better ergonomics, better on fuel, and has great power(maybe a little less torque). Best choice in a modern 70cc saw for a guy not cutting everyday in my opinion, and that from a husky guy.
Also I've owned quite a few 461s as well as 461r's, great saws too.
I have run a 462 a little. I prefer my torque tank. I had Kevin port it even torquier. I have 2175s if I want lighter faster smoother. The 461 is good for felling with long bars or chewing up dry hard nasty Euc with shorter ones.
I have one and have had a few other 372xpw/375's, the 462 is lighter and has every bit as much torque, but yes, they are way smoother than a 461. Keep a square chain on the 460/461, and they run a lot smoother.
Funny thing, right after I made the previous post on the 462 over the 461, I made this go from 461
to 462

70cc??
372xp and 044!
But hey, why stop at 72cc when they make bigger…..

Cooked down perfectly. Takes a bit of practice to get the peppers and onions the right consistency

So @GrizG and @Sawyer Rob what’s the story with these Brownings? Is the lefty no6 worth all these pennies?
What’s the backstory and history on this specific rifle??

I'll let griz answer that... but I thought you'd like to see another Belgium Browning I have,
It's another great Browning 22.

Aside from needing to finish putting some screws in, wall# 4 in the little room is done. I still have a laundry list of things to finish in there, lighting kinda hit the top, with finishing that wall. Gets dark awful quick when the sun sets in there.
The rubber mounts are not as smooth as spring but should not be bad. Check to make sure none of your dampers are bad, and that your piston pin or rod bearing is not giving up the ghost. 461s run lean in stock form, so it is worth checking things out. They will definitely add to the vibration.
