Ive decided its time to buy a new saw, and lessen the work load on my older stihl 026. Ive got my mind set on the ms460 mag. But while i was looking around, i noticed the 660 is only about 150-200 dollars more.. and that got me thinking.. should i jus pay the few extra bucks for the infamous 660? I don't mind paying the $$ for a quality product.
It all comes down to what i can handle and use in the woods. Going from the 026, to a 460 or 660 i know will be a huge difference. The new saw will be the "go to" saw and il be using it most of the time, il use the 026 for smaller stuff, or tight situations.
I guess my question is.. should i jus get the 660, will that be much of a difference? I dont cut that much big wood, but occasionally i do, so im wondering if the 660 would be over kill. But i want at least the 460 for the 25-35inch wood. Im leaning towards the 460, i think it will be a little easier to handle and i know i will get tired easier, but how much of a diff would the 660 be? i think the 660 might be overkill for limbing and bucking up logs that are not giant.
I dont work in a tree business, i cut 8-10 cord a year for firewood.
Their both badass saw's haha.. I just wanted to hear some opinions
But then again.. who wouldnt want to own a 660 if they had the chance!.. that is my dilemma!
