A very well regarded saw, by all accounts. I know a couple of chaps that run them that love them. I have the Makita DCS7901, which is very similar in size, weight and power. Also an excellent saw.

 

For general forestry work is a 460 not a bit big though? Too heavy and cumbersome to sned with. I wouldn't go beyond 60cc personally, but that is just me. You might well be felling some very large trees.

So if you were to go along the stihl lines what model would you recommend? MS362?

 

Cheers

 

If it has to be stihl then yes, personally I don't like the 362, it's ok and it cuts wood the way it should but I just don't like them. not as good as a 361 but you can't get them new anymore

 

If your into full time forestry, I'd highly recommend having a go on a 560xp, if you could get hold of one/borrow one, it really is the new small saw to beat.

Loved the MS361 and heard nothing good about the 362.

 

Heard a lot of good things about the 560xp, including from people I've worked with who've had them. The newer generation of Husky's small saws seem to be excellent (once the teething problems are ironed out).
