I bet round filed chains are more a vibration problem over the rubber mounts .just an observation from the sidelines. Hullo

They are everywhere this year. I think they go for $39.99 at local STIHL dealers around here.
U can find them on Amazon in the toy and game department for $47.90.

BTW, I got the toy saw at a thrift sale way back when. I bought it as a joke but my nephew found it and thought it would be great for his daughter (she is really my grand niece). So its on permanent loan. Like any loaner saw, I expect it to come back to me broken.

I got a NIB one at a second hand store when they were going out of business. Half of retail was reasonable. I bought it as a gag, but my nephew saw it and wanted it for his daughter. So she 'borrowed it'. Like any loaner saw, I expect it to come back busted.

They surely jump around on the ground, but doesn't vibrate much in the hands.

Hater!
661 and 390 weigh almost exactly the same. 661 has more plastic I guess.
Springs can vibrate as much as rubber if you're stretched to the limiters all the time. On a mill the mill end and chain makes a way bigger difference in vines than the saw av.

The 661 full of fluids with 28" bar is 23.6 lbs and a 390 full of fluids with 28 bar is 21.9. Weighed them not too long ago so about 1.5 pound difference
Both with wrap handles? I seen 2 pictures of scale shots with full wraps.

Yes mine and Johns saws. We weighed Ronnies 660 that day also with 28" bar but im not sure on his fluid levels but it was a tad lighter than the 661

A 390 does feel heavier than it really is to me though. Actually my 390 balances better with the 28" cannon plus bar than it did with the 22" Cannon

Subscribed. Just bought an MS461R.
My dealer has no idea about 462.....
I guess one of the owners of my local shop is at some sort of Stihl dealer convention or get together. I'll ask him when he gets back.
I hope I didn't make a mistake by going with the 461 when I could wait a couple weeks and get an m tropic 462.
The 461 has such a loyal following and the model is so damn reliable I doubt I will regret this purchase

Rumor is a 441 replacement is coming through the pipeline and it will be the 442. Don't see the 461 being replaced at this point, I think having a non-Mtronic saw in the pro saw lineup is a smart decision, especially when it has such a strong following.
