461, 372 or 576???

[josharb87]

Hi,

 

My 460s being replaced after it had a little accident, if i could find a new 460 id have that, but i can't, so....

 

I've used a 372 in soft wood only, i really rated it, i liked its old school rawness and general feel.

 

Never used a 461 or 576.

 

461 isn't available here which complicates matters, so I'm leaning towards the 372 as its also lighter.

 

I know this is a big ask, but id be grateful for some non biased answers on which is the best saw regardless of manufacture, and from 1st hand knowledge.

 

It'll be running a 24" bar (I run 560's on 15"/18", 660s on 25"/30" and 880 36"+)

 

Thanks

 

 

 

Let the stihl vs husky debate commence

461, ace, feels lively and aggressive,as opposed to 576 which feels dead and lethargic

I run 25" on my 461, no probs

Also run my 461 on 25". Put an 18" on with 8 pin sprocket and it turns bonkers.

I love the 461 I also love the 576, these saws are better than 372. If you can't buy a 461 where you're at id go for the 576 just for warrenty purposes

Had a 372 ,sold it to get a 576 . Did not like that so sold it and got another 372 , Pre Xtorque and ported by spud so not lacking in any department . Not tried the Stihl .
