Medium to powerful saws

And thats coming from the biggest Echo fan on Arbtalk

 

They say the CS-620 is a mini 461 anyway.

 

460/461 is one saw that Stihl got nigh on perfect.

I can't comment on the 461 as I haven't used one but the echo 620sx is a good solid saw

Im open to any saws, but I have to say in that power band im a Stihl man through and through. Ditch the 440 though and get a 461. I have been subbying now for over 10 years and the only saw I use other than my topping saw is the 461...they are flawless.

Agree 100% I think there's a pretty clear consensus on this one!

well its very rare I do chipping! But I can see you're trying to catch me out here.....yes I use the 201t. Very occassionally i might use a company 357 or similar.

 

 

Me? Never

 

As a subby climber those two saws tick pretty much all the boxes.

 

I'm employed and still usually use my own saws through choice, as I know they'll be running and cutting well.

 

My mid range climbing saw is a 441 on 20"

 

I also have a 357 on 15" for ground work/small felling.

If I was climbing and wanted saws to cover all bases 201 with a 12" -461 or 441 on 20-25" and maybe if I had a good year and had to spend some money a 661 or 66 with a 36"

The 461 handles a 25" no bother though and would fill all the gaps if just one saw was needed.

Personally I would chose the 576xp on a 24" though

I got a husky 372xp and cant fault it,great to use, plenty of power:thumbup:

 

Same here although mine is the XP ( pre Xtorque ) but Spud ported .

I went for a 441 recently. I really feel the vibrations over night in winter, and the 441 was far gentler than the 461 for a pretty marginal power reduction.
