Stihl 460

[flashhole]

Congrats on the purchase. I bought one a year ago. Amazing saw, I hope your smile muscles are in shape because you will do that a lot when using it. Like others have said, run it with a sharp chain and don't overheat it. I was out with mine today using a fresh grind chain on a 20" bar. Those logs didn't have a chance. Post a pic if you get a chance.

Fantastic buy! Use Ultra in it and use 91 octane non ethanol if you can find it and don't let mix set in it longer than 3 months or keep your mix longer than 3 months and keep your air filter clean and use quality bar oil and it will last you a lifetime. MS460's are outstanding saws. Congratulations, rep sent

Just thought i'd share in the joy without starting a new thread. I just got a new 460 as well. 20" bar.

I think I'm gonna go ahead and pick up a 28" light bar for it with a semi-skip chain, and then if a few beginning jobs go well these next couple months, I might be able to justify a 201 and 660

Addiction hit. Long ago started with my 250, but now it's hitting hard!

460's

:msp_wink:

Damn! Thanks for letting me know that the 460's have been discontinued. I had my eye on one at a dealer and I hope it isn't gone. I see that the 460R is still being made though. I'm afraid that the 461 will turn out like the 201T and be a dog compared to its predecessor.

I just bought one in November from Wood's Logging in Sedro Woolley, WA. They still had about 20 left and I am not sure they are really dicontinued. The 440 production never stopped, as I understand it they stopped bringing them in due to the EPA regs. And when they got enough green points they could bring in a limited amount, which they did.
In case you get a 460 and want the OEM dual port muffler the part # is 1128-140-0616. This is the whole muffler with hugh rear port. Limiter caps removed tabs cut off and reinstalled. Tuned it and it made a very big difference in performance.
