Stihl ms 441 or ms 461

Hi all looking at getting a good sized saw to deal with average sized trunk sections .

 

Is there much in it between the 441 or the 461 and what do you guys recommended .

 

I will be looking at running a 20 and 25 inch bar and chain on these saws.

 

Any input would be good to hear.

Spend the extra and get the 461! I have a 440 and sometimes use my mates 460 and it's got bags more grunt!

Why not 372 xp

Simple reliable and no electrics??

Had a 441 sold it as I though it was horrible, got a 576xp lovely.

 

372 if you want no frills.

I want a no frills saw

But a reliable power house that starts well and us light enough to use all day and most importantly no electrics

461 with up to 25" bar is great 👍👍👍

461 every time and they are simple and reliable, pulls anything from 16" - 32"
