opinions for next saw?

[breymeyerfam]

have a 076 for big wood and 361 for smaller stuff, but would like an in the middle saw. cut mostly for firewood, live on 500 acres of standing timber. I will be modding this saw(mildly for work and play). I was thinking 460??

 

[nilzlofgren]

460

 

[Roy M]

The 076 has lots of torque but is a heavy old beast. The MS460 is a popular saw and lighter than it's bigger brothers.
Are you set on Stihl? The Dolmar 7900 is becoming very popular, fast and good power to weight.

 

[Nailsbeats]

I think you are right on with your thinking, 460 is great, you won't regret it. Get that muffler opened up, it will really rip.

 

[breymeyerfam]

yup. stihls 4 me
wouldnt mind buildin a used saw... many to be had? if so, what kind of $ ?

 

[lovetheoutdoors]

if you want to try something besides a stihl try a dolmar 7900 or maybe the 7300.

I want to try the Stihl 066/660's ......I hear there great saws...

The 066/MS660 is a lot of saw for firewood unless he needs the long bar.

depends on how much of a man he is...i like it if i only had one

460's are nice, but I think you need the big brother to your 028s, the 038 magnum. It gaps the age of the 076 and 361 nicely too. My second choice would be a 066 or 064. Lightweight saws that cut like nobody's business.

[breymeyerfam]

I have a need for at least a 36" bar, not very often, but the need is still there.
