New chainsaw 362 or 441??

[Steve Bullman]

get the 460! ive used a 441, and for all its new features, emmisions, less vibes etc, the 460 still is more than worth the extra £50!

iv used the 460 for a day great saw loads of power mate run it with a 25inch bar all day it will take it but i would say the anti vibration ent all that good.

if ur looking for a 20inch saw where u can use a 25inch bar everynow and again the 441 would be my choice mine love the 20inch bar anyway hope u enjoy the saw u end up buying

362 is great with an 18" bar but a 20" is stretching it,,,, from a 362 owner,,

441 with a 20 inch bar is a good saw with plenty of bite. Ran the old 440 on a 20inch bar for years,that was my work horse until they released the 441.

got a shop full of used saws i always pick up the ms650 with a 20 inch bar it just feels right and runs sweet and you can pick them up cheap. i am a big lad so the weight ain,t a problem. you can then run bars from 16 to 36inch and the 660 top end is a straight fit. you see what ever makes you happy is right for you.

Same dilemma here.

 

Love my old 440 for everyday (ab)use, but it's not going to last forever.

 

Going for the 441, but unsure about the new self-tuning model. (CM?)

 

Has anyone used one yet?
