My 461 sports a 28 es light and is a beast but damn she's heavy.

Run an 880/88 or 090 on the ground for an hour or so and you will be thrilled to have it sent up I bet.
And a suspender saddle helps.

 

[JMcC]

Haha I get more thrill sending it down.

Hey brother, my go to saw most days which makes a ms 200/201 feel like a 65lb dumbell is the one on the top...again modded by Mr. Brad.

 

[JMcC]

Plan on picking one of those up in the fall. Look forward to pruning with it.

you will be surprised...td's are do able and even chunking...just gotta watch for slightly underpowered (even modded) for some one handed cut and tosses. But, hell, you can notch and blow out leaders with it.

Is that the 150?

[JMcC]

That is a 150.

 

[treevet]

yes, my 2nd one, the first one was stolen.

Got my 461 R, also has extra cap. oiler. It is beautiful and barks big time. Can you imagine letting an employee that thought he knew what he was doing (most of em), have your 461 sent up to make a big cut on a giant semi parallel, long heavy limb, make a step cut like he always does, and have the saw torn right out of his hands? No thanks. Nobody likely gonna touch this saw for long while.

The pointy bar is the give away.

 

[treevet]

you try one yet MB?

 

[JMcC]

Enjoy your new saw. It looked good in the videos. Mine is getting ported by the monkey September 3rd.

 

[treevet]

is he that backed up? I wanted to send him a 200. I am not that patient.

 

[treevet]

btw...Brad is not doing anymore porting...just the 201 mods. He did me a favor. I didn't know that but I really appreciate it.

 

[JMcC]

Sounds like he is. I'm patient and just glad to have a date.

You will be pleased !! I've got 6 saws he ported for me. Guys can say what they want, they are much more pleasant to run for sure.

 

[treevet]

how long did you wait luckydad?

how long did you wait luckydad?

Oh I waited for a a pretty good while on some, not so long on the others. The last 2 were 200Ts and the are great.

 

[treevet]

ah hell, they will just be sitting on my shelf. I am gonna send em anyway.
