I understand that Bryan Equipment won't be shipping 461s until November.
U sure?
I thought u only ate bologna?
Im looking forward to your build to Randy with with a very large amount of interest.
I was at a famous Washington saw shop on Saturday and they had a few 461's in and said that no more 460's would be sent out from Stihl as per last week. They had taken a 461 apart and found it only had 7 different parts from the 460. It looked like to me that all parts would be interchangeable. They said they had dyno'd a 461 and a 460 three times and the 461 had .06 more horsepower. the 461 was very slightly heavier feeling but maybe only by a couple of ounces if that. I didn't weigh them.
I was thinking about buying a 460 while I still could, but the 461 is just as good if not better from what I could gather. Stihl didn't mess much with a good thing. Funny Stihl is still sending out the 440's though.
Hmmm:
1. Cylinder
2. Muffler
3. Starter cover
4. AF cover
5. Cylinder cover
6. ?
7. ?
If it's a quad-port and it bolts up, I foresee a lot of parts sales. And stuff.
I'll take it the the KY GTG if you don't mind.

I don't think I'm any better on the computer stuff than you (actually could be worse), but in top right corner of screen you can click on settings and get review of recent rep.
Well, I picked up a new 461 this afternoon -- it arrived at the dealer this morning. It's a nice saw for sure. I walked out with a 20" bar and RS chain for general use, and ordered a 28" ES Light bar and RS chain for special occasions (that should come in later this week).
I didn't have much time to saw this afternoon, but filled the 461 up with bar oil and gas and ran it briefly. The saw fired right up. My first impression was that the idle was a bit unrefined compared to the 441-CM, but it improved within minutes. All my big wood is up on our new property, so all I had to saw was a wood pile of splits. I can confirm that the 461 can neatly divide a stack of splits :msp_tongue:. I'll give it an honest test later this week, hopefully with the 28" bar.
The 461 is a tad rougher at cutting speed than the 441-CM, which is expected given the suspension differences. But it's minor from what I could see. I'll wait until I have more time to saw to say for sure.
Here are a few pics:
