Yeah true that about the computer. My logging saws 5/6000 ft want to explode at my sub 1000' house. That IS the number one reason the 661 is lucky enough to stay around. I also like it on the landing cus it may need a trigger start but doing that it fires first pull. It randomly dies at Wot and sometimes swinging it around lopping like a madman or tossing it wading in brush. The falling carb saws fire first pull warm but don't the on off sit for fifteen min sometimes needing the choke. But never stall no matter how crazy I swing um or brush toss em.
462 with a 20 would be pretty ripper. Does it spin 8 pin that way?

I don't have an 034S, but I have a MOFO ported 360, I also have 2 ported Hybrids, and my CFB hybrid won the NYS GTG 77 cc competition against other ported Hybrids and 460s, and I have numerous ported 660s that I like for milling and noodling big wood.
But for best all around with a 20" bar, I'll take the 462. That said, all of the above, and my 044 are all real darn nice saws and they all get used. My MMWS 261 Ver II also sees a lot of run time with a 18" B+C. It is a great limbing/light bucking saw and is refreshingly lighter than the other saws listed.
When you change elevations, temp, etc. and you just want to pull out a saw and use it, you start to appreciate the computer controlled saws.
