Heck, and here is me just about to email them to see if they could ship me out a 60" .404 bar for my new to me MS200 rear handle!

That's not the point of my post at all. The point of my post is to prove that you can run a 28 inch bar on the 455. It's a big bar but it's is just fine for general cutting. Not hard to find and reasonably priced.

I would say a modded 455 would do this as described. I watched my cousin run a 28 inch full skip on his eager beaver 3.4. Speed demon no, but it did get it done. The other stuff needs video for sure.

Firewood so not concerned with splintering and if the tree split while cutting it might make splitting easier.

I feel the same way, but you can expect more potential for dangerous barberchairs also.

An old video, but you get the point. He's a hoot!

That’s saw abuse…there has to be a government agency we can report this to…lol

That was entertaining. I needed that, I’m still grinning at all those feelings and all caps yelling and stuff.

Just wow I want a parts list so I know how to build one. I've got an 880 old outdated model think if I put a 455 sticker on it it will be good for at least 3 or 4 more hp.

 

[Hickahollar]

It only took the 880 a minute to get through 48 inches. Would love a 455 that could do it in 48 seconds or less.

To be honest it probably took me a couple minutes to cut through it

I am hoping to get him to build one for me and save the hassle of doing it myself.

As the owner of a 455 Rancher, I'm a little embarrassed by this thread.

Well ****, guess I wasted money on that 500i. Heard it on the internet, so it must be true!

Na. I have one too, but I bet ours are honest.
