Just got mine yesterday (4/18).

Ran it about 5 minutes last night. It really needs more power to pull a 20" in hardwood. Not the torque monster that my 460 is.

Already got a piece of 5/8" stainless tube for a muffler mod and a spark arrestor screen and clip ordered from the dealer. (Thanks for the great post about that Lakeside) I've already got spare limiter caps and the removal tool from doing the 460.

I'll take it out this afternoon and run a few tank-fulls through it and get a feel for it before I do the muffler. Nice anti-vibe though.

Got mine about a year and a half ago. I don't know how many hours I've put on it but it's been a lot. It's been completely trouble free and is without doubt the handiest ranch saw I'ver ever had. I cut a lot of oak and madrone and with a 20" bar it just floats through the wood. I made a bigger dawg for it and put on a DP muffler that Thall made...other than that it's stock.
