Anyone here got experience with one?

Ive got a cheap 35cc but those bigger logs keep calling my name.

The 461 these are a very good saw I just not long bought one for my son and was very surprised how it pulled a 24" b&c in .404 .
Just the ticket when you come across a 3' tree across the track .
Congrats .
And they are even stepping on the heels of a 660 with a muff mod and a 10* timing advance and a carb reset .

I'm hearing ya D, I'd much rather stick with stuff I can fix myself than this m tronic and all that auto tune s**t which usually requires a computer to tune it - which usually means being raped in the arse to get it sorted.
f*** em I say stick with the stuff that's tuff and works and is easy to tune and rebuild if need be.

Scott I am not the one to ask because I will not own a auto tune or mtronic saw if I can't fix a problem I won't own it the 462 is more the opposition saw to the 576 .
The saw builder that builds my saws only does new saw saws and because of husky qc issues he will no longer work on a 5 series saw .......
