MS461 or MS461R ?

[clemsonfor]

You mean someone is going to install two dancing bananas into my MS461R ? Not sure where they will go, but I am willing to try it....

You even get a fancy oval sticker for that new shiney saw as well!!

Well I understand my MS461R has been delivered. Time to get home and check it out.

It's a good saw,I'm sure you will enjoy using it.

 

[Glockem45]

So I probably know the answer, but is there a Stihl Clamshell case that fits the MS461R model since it has a Wrap Handle ?

 

[dave1974]

Not that I know of....the stihl woodsman case that most dealers carry won't work with that saw.

So, I want to buy a new MS461 with the Large Wrap handle and the Large Dogs with a 25" bar. I thought this is a common saw. On the Stihl website, they call it the MS461R. So I have contacted 4 different dealers locally to order this for me, and they all want to know why I want the MS461R "Rescue Saw". None of them seem to know about the regular R version. Am I calling this model/version the wrong thing? What should expect to pay for this here in Virginia?

Yes I know, probably a NEWB question, but I had to do it since my local dealers can't tell me.

You must live in The SouthEastern United States like I do.
The rep said,
"He can just buy the Regular 461 and then buy all those extra items, can't he?"

I **** You Knot.

My Dealer was as aggravated as me.

I've got to call them back tomorrow.

And I'm here using them for footstools here in the northeast...

I want to first thank mcobb2. So, today was the day. I am off all week and instead of hunting bucks, I was starting a new past time, NOODLING. I am not sure how wide my smile was supposed to be, but I popped my Cherry on this saw. I will post pics shortly, but I was cutting 25" Red Oak rounds today for about 3 hours, and stacked 3 full pallets of quarters to get them off the ground and airing out, plus have them ready when I want to run the log splitter. I have two 85' tall Red Oak rounds on the ground, and I Noodled about a 3rd of them today in no time.

Two things to get used to. A Yellow chain, and oh yea, a 70cc Saw that pulls you into the round. I am going to call my new saw the "Butter Knife", as it just cuts through these hard Red Oak rounds like nothing. What a superior improvement to Noodling with my MS290 Farm Boss....

 

[Locust Cutter]

That would be akin to being surprised how mush more a single wheel one-tone will drag/pull/haul over a S10 or Ford Rangeer... LMAO.

I had the same awakening when I bought my now departed MS660. I went from an 039 Stihl being my "big" saw to it and Dad and I used the hellout of it until the day it burned up in my ld truck (along with my 346xp, Husky 55 and Stihl 039)... When you go from a good saw to a GREAT saw (or any tool for that matter) it is amazing the difference. It makes one tend to wonder how you got along previous to acquiring it. Congrats again and a whole-hearted YOU SUCK is in order!

 

[Hero]

It is amazing. I went from 281 to 461, Wow what a saw. Twice as fast

 

[Adirondackstihl]

That is true. Truth is that 362R was just because it seems obnoxious. Annnnd figured I'd get a "What the" by Adirondackstihl and everyone else. Winning...

Who me? "What the"?

 

[hseII]

Who me? "What the"?

We.
