461 or 441 with heated handles??

[mendiplogs]

The MS 461 (or MS 460) has about 5% more power than the MS 441, so I would agree with "tiny bit more" rather than "far more" power.

 

To compare chainsaw power/weight (manufacturers specs) for various brands and models, refer to this list that I compiled some time back http://bit.ly/chainsaw-data

 

HI MOR the 461 on your paper work may only have 5%power but it pulls the 20" bar far better thanks jon

Cheers for your thoughts guys its either that or i go with something like a 390xp?? or 372/576xp which are a bit smaller.

..But i don't have much experience with the new husqvarnas, so don't know about thier reliability etc/ what problems they have!

I run huskys, the 390 is the same cc as an ms660, 372 is same as 441 and a 576 same as a 461, so it's up to you, 372 is very highly rated, simple to work with, and faster!

461 is a peach of a saw and the choice over the 441. More power and only tad more weight and you can pull a bigger range of bar sizes 16" -32" I think from memory. Shares many parts with tried and tested 460 and is basically an updated revision of that saw. Have had one since Feb and it's been faultless.

The thing i liked about the 441 was it had the choice of heated handles, i know its a bit fussy but would have liked to of had that option with the 461. In an ideal world i would have brought the 461 with heatedhandles.

Does the 441 have a few problems with it then?

Most husky pro saws have the heated option

Not used one myself, but have been with someone using one, looked and sounded good, it's about the same weight as a 362/365 (which I have used), as I run a 385 I've never had need for the 70cc range
