Attach a nose gear to it!
I used to go to this bar with him when i was a kid ..well i would call it an institution not a bar..his one buddy used to bite glass ash trays in half .. him and his friends were savages , i saw more guys get their ass beat by the age of 12 than most ever will..most of those guys are dead..in the bang..in a wheelchair..or a shadow of what they were , life caught up.
That job in that picture they had beer and dog biscuits for breakfast..true story..they built a privacy fence too that has 52 cases of crushed iron city cans in it..the guy that lives there now said he can hear them in the wind.

Not now..ill smash his old ass
before his cancer operation he would have broke my wrist no problem , him and his boys worked HARD , 40 years of beer..hard work..and a lifestyle you would see on TV caught up with him , im tryin to make better decisions.
That's like me and my dad, only I did smash his old ass. Prick used to encourage fighting in school and ****. Fought with me all the time. I **** kicked a few of his friends who were also alky's. Was at his house last year and it got a little out of hand. Smoked him in the forehead and split his head open. Sobered him right up LOL he was more concerned about the blood staining the grout in between the tiles of his kitchen though. LOL he ended up with 5 stitches but it wasn't til after the grout was cleaned up spotless.
we're on good terms. Weirdly enough, I think he liked it.

lets test your smarts right now. would you rather have a 346 or a 357?
If you are climbing it matters.
Beware of people who say the weight of the saw does not matter, then spend lots of extra money on light weight bars!!!!
And, for better or worse, I now have a better understanding of where some of you guys are coming from.

CTYank said 441's are junk so I removed them from consideration.
Seriously though I know very little about 440/441/460's. Open to hearing more from those who own(ed) any of these saws.

nope, i knew you'd say that because you've said it before. yer a smart man. 357 is literally and inch longer and an ounce or so heavier but alot more power. why anyone would choose a 346 over a 357 is beyond me.
Those bars are for balance big guy.

They are close in size, but weight difference is a pound or more. 11.1 for the 346 and 12.8 for the 357. I'll just keep and use both.
Steve, basically the 12 mm 044 became the MS440 and the 046 became the MS460. About the only real difference is the flippy caps.

sure doesn't feel like a pound difference but i never weighed them. i'll take a 357 anyday.

I notice the weight difference, but remember, I'm old.
You are right about the power, 357 has a LOT more!
Watch what you call yourself there youngster!

I've owned all of them. The 441 is the best of all those. Smooth as buttah and gobs of power, and the M-Tronic carb is great too if you're not using it in air depleted of oxygen. But that's only on fires, and that's probably not your intended use.
The 440 is the second best, and is the lightest. It's nicely balanced but doesn't have the guts of a 441 or 460.
The 460 is only better than the other two when bars above 28" come out... And it's only marginally better, and pro. And it vibrates more than the 440 or 441.
The 461 is better than all of those three. But if you don't get a 461 buy a 441 if you want a Stihl.
But you're a Husky guy. So go buy a 372 and forget it. That's what I would do.
