I know:lol:

Willie, it is Scandinavia where I live, not southern California or Florida! I go through 30 cubic meters of wood a year. 10" dia is what I like for firewood, makes it less of a hassle to lift onto the splitter if I don't use the maul. Actually these were more like 15" DBH. Felling 60 cubic...

The new C-types are way different from the early ones. That computer makes a big difference IMO. We've just got the new 661C and that has the same low end grunt. I'm currently on my 3rd 441, as they only last about two seasons for me. Then I sell them under the table to firewood cutters of which...

Nope, conventional carb. I figure that what Willard is hinting at would be injection. Like I said, this saw seems like a step back. I'm sure our next apprentice will love it, though.

You don't want to end up with fingers like mine, after running saws your whole life, Chris. Better to go for a good anti-vibe saw, sacrifice a bit of power, maybe, but still be able to hunt in the cold when you are old. Raynaud's syndrome is no fun to live with in a cold climate.

I took the new 461 out for the first time today and felled the next two years worth of firewood. 50 year old oak trees, just right for an 18" bar. It is a good saw, but in a lot of ways it is a throw back to earlier times. It it a conventional engine, not a scavenge engine and it has rubber...

I thought of importing one, but there would be a problem of getting parts plus I have a seriously good working relationship with my dealer. Have been using him for 25+years, and don't want to risk pissing him off by importing stuff.

That is about the weirdest thing relating to chainsaws, I've ever heard!

I just bought a new 441 last week. Not out of choice, burt for some weird reason Stihl won't market the 461 in Denmark. I REALLY wanted to try one of those. Fi, I don't know if you need double dogs for the kind of work you'll be doing with it, but I wouldn't consider felling with a saw that...

That would be my advise.

This is where I just have to pipe up and say that a 32" bar is overkill for that tree. Sure, if you have one, go ahead and use it, but if you don't, no need to invest in one just to save a few minutes on one tree. 24" will do it nicely and matches the 461 better.

I was told by Stihl in Denmark that it wouldn't be marketed here. And as for importing it, I'd be screwed first time it needed a spare part.

Be even more fun if they would market the saw here! Now that I know they do in France, I think I'll go yell at them.:X

I had my dealer call Stihl last week. The 461 will not be released in Denmark/maybe not in Europe at all:cry:
