same reason i run a 20 on my 441. I like more power less bar. I will just use it for small trims, i stihl have a 16" for it too. I like to have options. Not to mention it cuts so fast its pure fun to use...

Put a brand new 18" Sugi on my 460, just for fun. It's for another saw but I wanted to have a killer firewood saw for a week or 2.
Now that's what I'm talkin about, YESS! You are going to bury ur foot in sawdust in approx. 2seconds.....lol

Where did u get that sugi bar, and how does it compare to a regular stihl. Bar?
I bought it off eBay from the us distributor, HEV inc in California.
I bought my stihl PH only. So I don't have any personal experience with stihl bars o a saw this size. That said, the reason I got the Sugi was because of the things I'd heard about them. I actually saved money that way. My dealer knocked off the price of the stihl bar which was about $90 and I got the Sugi for less than that. Plus it looks BA.

Yeah!, quit painting over the orange, it's like sacrilegious or sumtin! Saw gods may make that saw bight you, paint it orange again, and see, may have to buy a new one too please them.

what are those things that look like knee pads, but are below the knees?

Im assuming velcro straps. I think you may be more comfortable closer to the tree (shorten up lanyard) and that will make it easier to cut. good to see all PPE and safety line.
