[ldamtower]

Thanks I think I might now i just needed a little advice

One of the best saws ever made. If you sell it you will regret one day.

When you get older, you might be glad you have it. What are you doing with a saw that big if you're only 14??
I'm 68 and my little 50 cc Husky is just the right size for me, of course I like my 044 with 28" light bar also!

 

[veljko]

I started with 15 and my first saw was 070.

 

[ldamtower]

Well I don't really need it I bought a 261 last year and I love it but I caught the saw fever I just like the looks and power of it haha

Well, if you are only 14, the 046 may be a little big for you now. Wait until you are 16 and then make your decision. I suspect that you will be glad you held on to it, because that saw is worth well over $350 if it runs well. I've seen them sell on e-bay this year for $600 plus $30 shipping. A new MS460 would set you back a grand.

A Grand???..lol..look at New Zealand prices.. http://www.stihl.co.nz/STIHL-Products/Chainsaws/01573/Professional-Chainsaws.aspx

$2800 New Zealand at todays rate.. if I ever need a new Stihl might be worth considering buying from the States, but I guess freight would ruin it.

 

[tlandrum]

shipping would still have you saving a lot of money. I ship all over the world and everyone says they can buy a new ported saw from me and still save money after shipping and taxes.

Have you considered buying a good used Stihl saw using e-bay? About all you would run into is some extra shipping and maybe import duties. Just a thought.

Yeah, like the day after you sold it!

Cant believe we are this deep into a thread and nobody has mentioned porting.... Keep the 046 send it to a builder and have it ported for $250-300 bucks and you will have all the saw you will ever need. My first pro saw was a 044. Had it for 12 years before I found AS or added a second saw.

 

[bryanr2]

welcome to AS by the way.... Men are visual and we are all Enthusiast here..... post up some pics of your saws.
