New saw, which one?

[swinny]

exactly why get a 70cc saw when you have a 660?

 

sell the 260 and get a 60cc saw

 

or keep the 260 and still get a 60cc saw.....

[RobRainford]

The 460 is an awasome saw agreed, but IMO is a bit close power wise to the 660 if looking for a saw midway.

 

My thoughts exactly. I want something with good power but not too big.

[18 stoner]

362 or 361 it is then.

 

The 441, is a very similar weight to the 460 so the next real drop in weight is 60cc as swinny says.

[18 stoner]

If you got a 60cc saw with 18 or 20" bar, you will be amazed how little you end up using either the 260 or 660. Very good all round size IMO for arb work.

i love my 361, initially it had a 18" bar on and i was doing a job felling dangerous tree's at schools it was brilliant for that work! its now got a 15" bar on as i have a 441 with a 20" on and it was too close a match for me as the 441 hardly got used..... still sadly doesn't get used much as go straight to the 064 for bigger stuff....... just my tuppence

Going by Jonesies prices (w/o vat) the 441 comes in at £474. With the 362 and 341 coming in a bit less. At 451 and 386

 

Kev: 460 did cross my mind but is just a bit too big for the gap it will fill. Plus it's a little out of the budget. One day! Maybe the apf?

 

I'm set on a stihl, I prefer them to huskies. Plus everything will match then!

 

the 441 is heavy than the 460 with less power and brittle plastics, if you can get hold of a 460 do it now they are a peach of a saw with durable plastics and good track record of reliability, i'll never touch a 441 again.

 

The 660 is big heavy and slow (unless its got a 18 bar) so a 460 is a great fill the gap saw between a 260 and 660.

 

I doubt you'd ever regret getting a 460 or a 361!

[Samuel]

well i have a 346, and a 460, and a 066, my 346 very, very rarely gets used, go for my 46 all the time, you going to buy brand new rob?

[RobRainford]

I'm looking at buying new. I'm tempted for for the 441 as I do like them. But now I am tempted for the 361/2.

 

Going through the company to save VAT.

 

I'll see if my local has any 361s. I think I'll set for one of those.

 

If the 460 is a good price at the apf, I may get one.

Its the same weight as a 441 but with more power.

 

I would go for the 460 even if it means waiting until the APF.
