Hi,

Just trying to decide which is a better bet? Seen lots of grumbling about the new electronicly controlled saws.I'm not generally a fan of over complicated electronics and would enjoy the price difference but does anybody have any real reason to avoid the new saws as I'm in need of a saw asap and might not have time to wait for the right 440?

Cheers

Im a stihl man!

 

The new saws have gone to m tronic now! i regrettably sold a good 044 a while back.

 

If i was considering a new 70cc saw my money would be on the husq 365 x torq. 530.00 inc vat. 70 cc then with a small modification after warrenty up, it can be made to a 372. Cheap and no electronics.

 

Something in the mix for you there buddy! and im a stihl man.

Personally I would get a 461 but don't have a bad word to say about the 441 either, it's just with the weight I would get the extra power of the 461.

Never a fan of the 440 I sold mine and don't like using are 460's great power but terrible anti vibes.

Ms461

6.7kg

4.4kw

76.5cc

£739.20 with 20" although this will handle a 25" no problem.

 

Ms441cm

6.6kg

4.1kw

70.7cc

£726 with 20" bar and it looks like only the cm version is available,I'd be drawn to the 461 definitely.

 

It makes you wonder why the 461 is not Mtronic and 441 phased out.

Seems a bit pointless teally
