I would not hesitate on an efco 956 or 962 saw. When my dad (retired) goes to thin the woodlot or cut firewood he takes the CS 56 or CS 62 John Deere and the MS 361 and Husky 359 are sitting in the garage all shined up photo op ready. They are all stock saws and when asked he'll tell you "they...

I couldn't say when they were most common to show up on ebay. Alot of the saws I see on ebay look beat and have quite a bit of cosmetic damage. I believe the one I bought was some loggers extra saw that was new in the box. I went specifically looking for the west coast version and got lucky. I...

West Coast MS 460 HO oiler is the bomb Have both 1/2 wrap standard oiler and 3/4 wrap west coast version big dawgs ext cover and HO oiler no comparison in the two. Bought the WC version off Ebay new because my Stihl dealer advised that they only ship HO oiler versions to the western states...

I have a CS 62 and a CS 56 Bought the 62 new and the 56 very slightly used. In my opinion there is not much difference between the saws especially in a firewood capacity. I run a 20" 3/8 full chisel on the 62 and a 18" 325 semi chisel on the 56. I have run the 56 with a 20" 3/8 and it does just...

Permethrine 0.5% spray on clothing only defense against the tick attack. You can buy it at Outdoors shops or most hunting stores.

Nothing but good to say. Easiest starting saw I ever owned. I have a Redmax GZ4000 40 cc saw and I also have the Ryobi 10532 (the redmax GZ400 chinese clone) Both are excellent saws and a blast to run for their size and weight they are little screamers. I haven't talked to anyone that actually...

I bought one just to have a saw to lend out so I could save my more expensive equipment from the typical saw borrowing friend. I really got attached and hated to lend it out. The 1st time I lent it to a friend it was wearing a 16 in Carlton Pro bar with VX 91 real chain, I sent two new chains...

Sorry can't provide photos Amish landowner no pictures on his property. I probably would nuts it up anyway. But I appreciate the input. I'm not scared just cautious been logging hardwoods for my father for > 20yrs most saw logs. I do not routinely deal with dead topped trees especially with my...

Maybe I'm just paranoid but I cannot seem to bring myself to fell with less than a MS460. I was doing a woodlot neighbor a favor by felling his dead ash trees for him to cut into firewood once landed. Most 20-28" diameter most with dead tops. I was trying to get some more time on a lesser saw JD...

Stihl should have a 361 sale. I can't figure the wait till we get rid of all the 361's before we will let you buy a 362. A chainsaw is a consumer item imagine if this mentality or company tactic was placed on other items Autos, TV's, Computers etc. Stihl MS 361 "leftover" sale coming to a dealer...

I would snag that deal. I have a John Deere CS 56 it is the same as an Efco 156 saw. I love the 56 and the 62 cc Efco's. I would grab that saw at that price that is a great bargin. I have an 18 in bar on the 56 and a 20 on the 62 and they both rip.

Thanks for taking the time to educate and entertain the chainsaw crowd!

Congrats on your new saw, nice pics. Man that is STIHL loyalty to have alot of problems with your first Stihl and keep loyal to the brand and give them a second shot with another new Stihl. I would have gotten mad and bought a Husqvarna. Man I wish my wife would let me keep a saw or two in the...

You already have the fuel line issue figured out. My advice would be. #1 open muffler up, mine was set rich so I did not have to retune the carb after muffler mod. Put a 16 in bar on it and get some Oregon 91 VX (non-safety)chain and run it. The more I ran mine the better it got. I know alot...

MS 460 Stihl

I wish I could find a box that fit my MS460 wrap and big dawgs. Nothing seems to work. I keep it sitting on a clean freshly washed blanket in my garage and when I take it out I put in in the rear seat of my truck and seatbelt it in just to be safe.

I wish they would have left well enough alone. But then again I like manual hand crank windows on a pickup truck too, maybe I'm too resistant to change.

Thanks for the photos now I wish I would have bought a Husky instead of the new Stihl 460.

Just ruined a brand new pair of jeans yesterday filling the oil tank on my 460 for my brother to borrow the saw. What a mess. I Hate those flip caps makes it almost worth while to buy a 660 to get the real caps. I describe those caps in my daily routine as CONSTANT ADVERSITY!

Factory OEM Stihl stamped direct from the local Stihl dealer in a Stihl parts bag for $39 USD. The new one just has holes drilled through the sheet metal with nothing behind it, I wish I knew how to post photos you would immediately see the design flaw of the new cover it was obvious to me...
