good suggestion. i don't have a problem with used. i have made offers on a jred2171 and a 460 on the net. unfortunately ebay and the like can be rather inflated in regards to saw prices. (price tags again)
i check in with my local dealers from time to time and ask if they have any used saws in the 70+ cc catagory. as i stated before. i have never seen a used 046/460.
as for my local guy... he never sees me unless i want something. in friendship that is bad. in buisness i thought that was good!
Make a few phone calls. Hell if you cut firewood, you most likely already know a few of the tree guys in your area (if you don't you damn well should...firewood is debris to these guys). 
Whats the HP? 6 speed?
The 150 i have has the best econ figures of all the TDIs apart from the 90 hp.
Yep at 80 it still does 47MPG the speedo is 2 mph out so thats 80 on the sat nav
Huh? Weak? Martians are cool. How many have you met that are flakes?
I know whatcha mean Joat. This past summer I had a man walk in the door covered in concrete dust. Construction worker. He asks do you work on Mikita saws, I said nope, sure don't. He goes your Stihl only, I go yup. He goes dayummm. I go whats the problem. He says I'm doing a sidewalk job down the street and the f-cking saw just quit. I go bring it in here.
Sure enuff no compression at all. I said she's done. He goes where can I take it to get it fixed. I said your guess is as good as mine for I don't know of any shops around Leesburg that work on those. I asked where'd ya buy it at, online. I said well you may be able to go online and find a place somewhere that will work on it. He goes screw that, I gotta get this job done this week. He thought for a minute and solved his own problem.
He goes you got concrete saws in stock. I go sure do. $1029.95, 10 minutes, he's out the door with a new TS400 and a promise that if it ever needs anything just bring it back where he bought it.
I'd lay money he never got that other saw fixed. He probably pitched it after finding out the hard way everything that glitters (cheap) is not gold.
I seen where someone said they have cut around 200 cord with there 7900 so far, so if he cuts an avg. of 5 cord a year that saw should last him 40 years if it were to last only for 200 cord. I think were fine
admittedly i know very little about logging and cutting in general :help: . but, ax-men as a learning tool? even I know better!
