We both run 460's and I have an original 066 that still honks that mainly runs a 36" bar but will push the 42 not to bad.
As I said in another thread the last decent reliable grunty husky was the 266xp.that was a great saw.
I have run shindaiwas for my small saws for 12 years using them everyday and wouldnt consider anything else for small pro saws.
Its a shame husky dropped the reliability ball as stihl need some competition to keep them honest

I love 460's! they are sex with 2 handles and a 2 stroke

Now Im out of the bush if I was to buy another saw (which I wont need to) but if I did it would be a 460, just perfect size and grunt for any job.
