The MS461.........A Peek Inside

[mtrees]

You surely get a preferred customer discount since you buy a saw every two weeks. :msp_tongue:

I believe I do . Have them all now.

Sounds good so far. I wonder if the flywheel or the crank is heavier than the 460 ??
More torque is always nice. Especially as the bars get longer.
I want to say that I really appreciate you guys doing all this testing and reporting back. It is great seeing the results come in. !
Did you guys do powerhead swaps with 1 bar and chain? Or did each saw have its own b+ c . ?

Same B&C on all three saws.

Where are all the photos and videos? Come on now. :hmm3grin2orange:

I was on a getaway from the shop.......I never took any pics or videos. Cowroy did do a #### load of video though....and had some of this saw, Scott's build, and Brad's one as well. It will probably be awhile before he processes it all though......

I have lots of video, just not a lot of time. I won't be albe to start uploading till tonight about 7:45et so stay tuned. Her is a link to my youtube channel cowroytube

Yo Anthony, In KY we'll do a MS441CRM VS MS461 VS MS660 VS XPW

We'll test that in KY today.

Not the best choice of words Randy...

Looking back I would have to agree. :cool2:

I see what you did there. :msp_wink:

 

[MCW]

Looking back I would have to agree. :cool2:

I was really hoping to see more videos but the second I saw KY and chainsaws in the same sentence I thought it's probably best that we just stick to pictures. Even then I'm not so sure...

Videos? Of a 461? I got this Matt. :msp_sneaky:

Here's Young's doing the noodle thing. I love to pull on a saw in the cut.......it easier for me to use the spikes than to try and hold em away from the wood all day......that's were the 461 shines.....when you are just working with it.

I'll take the worksaw over the cookie cutter every time, worksaws make me money, unless you are a proffessional saw racer a cookie cutter will wind up costing you money, running on the ragged edge, things break when put into working conditions day after day. The 461 will only get better as the platform evolves eventually into a CM, they really built this to replace not only the 460 but the 650 as well as a solid hard working worksaw, those noodling vids makes it very evident it has the tourque to get the job done, as well as I like my 460, the 461 is an improved platform for those who make money with their saws. A good vid would be a run of the mill 460, not a hand picked one and a broke in 461 stock running either a 25 or 28" bar buried in red oak or hickory.
