I'm going to order a ms 460R power head tomorrow if the dealer will cooperate . Hopefully the better half has a sense of humor about it .
I love my 372XP, but I'd be partial to an MS460. Even more-so to an MS660........
I got caught with mine brand new on the dinning room table torn apart. She was suppose to be out of town til Sunday eve. ( Cant go wrong with a 460) Even if the better half is gone!
You have no idea of how bad it gets ! After getting a fairly decent sized saw, you make the error of getting it woods ported ......after that , you are doomed !i hope i never get to run a saw that big, cause i know i will have to have it.
I'm not surprised he won't order the powerhead only, but why is he raping you on the cost?
I don't disagree about the ability to do the powerhead only, but am still not surprised to hear a dealer doesn't want to make the effort (mine would, I bet). I have never ever heard of a dealer gouging like that pricewise. I'd seriously be considering calling Stihl Headquarters, however one might do that.Unless things have drastically changed with Stihl's ordering system, ordering a saw less bar should be no biggie. Could order it with a common bar size and just stock the bar, they don't ship it on the saw, it's even in regular parts packaging. Pricing would be up to the dealer going that route, if he wanted to refund you his cost on the bar, that would be a good deal.
My guess the "premium" pricing is code for "go away". Shame.
They pretty much have the attitude of " If its not on the display rack , we can't be bothered to get you one ." They are primarily interested in big ticket things like tractors and such . Heck , they didn't even have an oil filter in stock for my tractor. Had to order it. Although I do understand that it's a very rarely call for part .My guess the "premium" pricing is code for "go away". Shame.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure she didn't . We were out cutting ,and she asked which saw gets ported next , the 346 ,the 562,or her 550 . I'm a lucky man indeed !Are you sure the wife didn't call and sabotage the deal.

Also, got a lead on a new ms 460 for a decent price . If it works out , it'll be ported before I even see it . I'll know more about it in a day ,or so . If it works out ,I'll be getting a Sugihara bar for it . Hopefully there's a cure for CAD that will be discovered before I get it really bad.
"Sugihara bar" Ok, Ok enough enough! Bet you want a set of those Big Dawgs on there to?
Dont forget the full wrap handlebar & high performance air filter/velocity stack!!
