I was looking for a similar sized saw about a year ago and it was between the 372 and 461. I had not used either before and after picking up a 372 in the shop i went for the 461. It just felt like it could stand up to more abuse and IMO felt better to handle.

I now run the 461 on a 20" bar and love it, I rarely use smaller saws than the 461 now as i like it so much! I did have it on a 25" bar and it pulled well. but i have a 660 so anything over the 20" i pick that up.

 

I think you can put a different exhaust on the 461 to give it a bit more power but haven't really felt it necessary running the 20" bar.

 

Hope this helps.

If ur 460 is being done up the go for the 372 :-) then port it once the warranty has gone :-) that's what I would do

U have a 660 and 880 if u get stuck lol

372 or 461? - 461 without a doubt! Feels and cuts better.

Opinion is divided on that one ....

The pre-xtorq 372 was an animal, but I never liked it with anything bigger than a 20" on. Top notch felling saw IMO. I'd go for the 461 for climbing - better anti-vibes & smoother. Will pull a 25" with authority.

My choice would be dependant on work it had to do.

576 on a 24 and 20" bar. Just put an 8 pin on it so will let you know how that goes but one thing about the 576 is that is simply the smoothest saw I have. Its a pre autotune, does feel heavy after using the 550 though. Hope this helps
