Nice chain saw. Looks like it will live up to its 460 heritage

Hope so.  They sure run like a factory hotrod.

Just wondering. Any one have a actual PHO weight? 

Are they 76cc?

Sweet lookers and cutters it seems.

Stihl states 77cc.  If I remember to stop at the PO......I tend to get busy and forget.

Cut with a well broke in 460 and the 461 today.  Honestly the 460 felt faster while sounding like it held higher rpm's.  After reviewing the vids, I was surprised to see the 461 turn in faster cut times in every different chunk of wood I threw at it.  The gap at its greatest was 4 seconds and the best comparison video I got the gap was 1 second.  That makes these saws very close but one must keep in mind, the 461 has 2.5 tanks consumed and this 460 is run in proper.  Take that for what its worth.

That is one sweet looking saw! I wanna run one of them. I love the way my tired, old, and newer to me 460 runs so that's got to be great. Enjoy  ;D
