I like my 357 light enough up a tree and happily runs the 18" bar but i do love the 576 too, hmm bit of a dilema i feel i probably have not helped

slightly made it harder, but yeah the 576xp is my favoured choice but the 460 seems good aswell and also i looked at the 357 and the ms362 and liked both, but just trying to find reveiws on all and summarise on which is the best

460 is a cracking saw.

ok thanks

i prefer the stihl 460 up a tree to the husky equivelant. The balance with a 25" bar on is perfect and easy to use, also the bottom end power makes ringing down a breeze

As a slight digression, what's the opinion on the 372XP? It's a good bit cheaper than the 576XP/MS441/MS460 and a bit lighter too (at the expense of power admittedly). There are a lot of good saws in the 70-80cc class.....

MS 460 the 357 is junk

 

372 is a good saw j.
