We run 20" bars on our 441's at work and theyre alright.

I wasnt aware people didnt like the 441.

Still prefer the 044 though.

I mistakenly bought one had it for a couple of months wondered why I thought it was a good idea to buy the saw all the time I owned it sold it to some crazed stihl fan on eBay got my money nearly so wasn't to bad I learnt my lesson never again the saw was heavy low on power and sluggish

Handles like a banana i.e too mushy.

Nowt wrong with a 441. Mine screams with a 20" bar. I think I have blown the air filter out about 5 times in 6 years.

 

Never do anything to it and it runs like a ported machine.

 

Same as with most things, you get good and bad examples. Maybe I was just lucky or other people are unlucky.

 

Who knows..?

I have to say that I have never used a 461 , but my 441 is much stronger than my 560 , and that's been Spud ported.

And ur 441 is heavier and not a saw to compare with a 560 576 would be a saw to compare it with

Don't really know the husky range but I would have thought the 560 was closer to the 361/2 saw.

The main problem with the 441 is that it's right next door to the 461 in the stable. 441's a capabale saw, 46 family are more so.

 

Husky 576 is in the same league as a 461.
