Default I got a new toy last night

I picked this up last night. It's a Stihl MS460 with a 32" bar. This bar is just crazy big for what i need though. I'll probably pick up a shorter one today. Can't decide if i want a 20" or a 25". Either way i figure with a muffler mod and a carb adjustment, I'm good to go next time I need to cut wood!

Let the big dog eat!

Nice! Though an MS460 seems like overkill

Yeah, I kinda Tim Taylored it a little! My old Echo CS-450 would just about do anything I needed to do. I'm sure the 460 will too. It'll just do it a little bit faster!

Sweet! I love my ms311 with a 20 in bar never a problem with it! And I love overkill! I would likethe smaller one for trimming up the small stuff I think its a ms200? Tiny saw but huge on being used for the smaller stuff and pro rated for climbing folks!

I got a neighbor that mentioned something about a titanium chain that never had to be sharpened even if it was ran into the ground said it was silly expensive but it would be the last one he had to buy for a while... Wished id got the type or manufacturer name.

I got the ms270 farm boss last year for firewood duty, almost got the 290 farm boss, but it was a cheaper built saw, the salesman said I would never notice the difference in engine size, and after comparing I could see the 270 was closer to a professional saw like he said. Wonderful saw, stihl is worth every penny.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
