I'll have one with me. I'm not too interested in the racing though.

Getting out of this shop is what I'm looking forward to.

Working the way Jon and I have been for the last few months is tough on a guy. I probably put in over 80 hours a week counting emails and shipping.

We'll take good care of your baby.

least it is until we get our hands on the elusive 540xp:bang:

 

[cowroy]

At Terry's GTG I wanted to run more saws instead of getting a lot of video, but this go around it will be business as usual. VIDEO! :msp_thumbup:

 

[Officer's Match]

Randy, that 461 looks amazing. I still wish it had my 441's spring av, but I gotta' say I'm MIGHTY tempted. Heck, that even has my 390XPW nervous.

 

[Andyshine77]

In that wood with that chain, it sure looks like Stihl finally got one right, well except for maybe the AV. Honestly it reminds me of a 361+P.

Well since ya'll took the time and effort to write it I guess I better go read it all. From a Fallers p.o.v. I have about 5 questions tho.
1. What's the powerhead weight with the powerhead that was in the first video?
2. Are the handles stretched out like the 441 s were ie further apart than the 460 s
3. Does iit have a good old fashion single barrel Carb?
4. Does it hold more gas and oil then the 460 .
5. Can it be adjusted so it screams but still have GOOD torque.
6. Will it out stump a 460 ?

No spring mounts is a bummer.
I LIKE the rear mounted ignition! !!!!!!!!!!!
I like the handle bar, more room than the 460 . It would be sweet if the Weber 460 hb would bolt right on tho.

Sorry, 6 questions.

 

[blsnelling]

Will you're just a Stihl hater.........like Brad is gonna be if he don't quit fooling with them Swedish babes.

Never! A great saw is a great saw reguardless of color.

#1. I don't know......it's wearing a bar and chain and I don't have time to remove it right now. After we return from KY I can weigh the powerhead for you.

#2. It feels just like a 460.

#3. Yep.

#4. Same.

#5. I'm not following. I never lean a saw way out. The 461 is rev limited at 13,500.

#6. Yes, It has more torque than any Stihl in this class that I've ever ran.

Vs 576AT ??

I don't have an 576AT here at the moment, I'm trying to finish up a 576XP though....

 

[o8f150]

Here it is in the butt of the poplar I've been using for the last few weeks.

Final numbers for the gearheads.....

Squish .024
Compression 200psi
Ex 100°
Tr 125°
Intake 78.5°
Removed from base .040

25 " Bar 3/8 8 pin

In the second cut I pulled the rpm way down to show just how broad the powerband is on this saw. I've not been this impressed with a saw in quite awhile. If a real worksaw is what you want this is it.......nothing is peaky about this one at all!

I realized that I had the aspect ratio set wrong on my camera when Niko kept talking about the square cants being out of square........you guys have no idea how big my belly really is.

I'll have to save all of my spare pennies for this new model; I've been waiting for the MS461 for at least a couple of years now. I don't have the brains to do any mods myself, so am very interested in the results from the resident modders here on the site. Note to self: save even more $ to have someone competent mod it for me...

My current piggy bank is busted open and completely empty (just purchased a Supersplit).
