Husky 460?

comgreserv · 8th March 2011, 01:29 AM

Hi all. Am looking at a couple of 460's for my lads on the ground. Does anyone have one in their kit or are they not suitable for professional use?
Cheers

My neighbor and another guy both have the Husky 460 saws. They are running the 24" bar on them and have had them for about 1 year. They haven't had any troubles yet as I am the one that would look at them. I have used the saws on occation and they seem light and run pretty good out of the box. I would say they seem like stihl mid grade saws. If I get to play with one, I might open the exhaust a little and richen the carb jet slightly.

It depends on how well the ground guys treat equipment. If they know that abusing a piece of equipment will make it fail faster then the 460 is fine. If your s guys are tough on equipment then look at something more disposalable.

More disposable? I'm looking at buying saws from o/s and they are less than 500 wood chips! Am only looking at running a 20inch bar on them. Cheers for responses so far!
