60cc Awesomeness, who is king?

[dustinwilt68]

You have to take price into account as well, the only knock on the 462 is will it hold up? So far in Europe several loggers have traded them.in less then 6 months old for 572s, durability may be it's Achilles heel, time will tell. Too early to judge them yet for me, will I pay 1200.00 for a 72cc saw? Never

I likey ported 461 !!!

 

[holeycow]

I like my cinder block of an oe ms362. Many do. It is a smooooth Cadillac of a saw. A worthy adversary of the mighty 562xp.

There’s no current saws in the same room.

Imo

I like a ported 2171, or 372, but a 7910 is still the king of that class to me

Ported 461 will stomp either “husky” ... the 7910 won’t hold up to professional use

 

[dustinwilt68]

Still to much for me, I like fixing broken stuff, but there price is getting better.

7910 and 372 have put a lot of wood on the ground, there great saws, I would take either over a 461 and I have. I have sold 3 461s kept the 7910s, I would alsay most who have ran booth would agree

 

[holeycow]

I don’t believe that is correct. These likes and dislikes are regional. Lots of guys run 372’s, lots of guys run 461’s

Potatoe potato

You couldn’t GIVE me a 372xtra turd ! 7910 is a thoroughbred saw ... won’t hack it day in day out ... ported 461R is where it’s at in my book but to each his own !

 

[holeycow]

There are others that would agree on the 7900..

Hey!! You guys tricked me. This is a 60cc thread.

Out.

Your just a Stihl fanboy. I am objective, I have ran all the saws listed. I try and be fair and give the goods and bads of booth, 461 stock lacks power to me for the weight.

There fixed it for ya !

 

[dustinwilt68]

Poor filtration, awful oiler output, I could go on

 

[dustinwilt68]

I wonder where Stihl got the idea from for air injection from for there new 462????

ported
Max - Flow ; unlimited coil ; H.O. Oiler/Dogs / big boy clutch cover !!! That’s what I run - 25+ tanks before a filter swap and NO fines in carb throat .... nothing !!! Cut up face-cord 5 mins

 

[dustinwilt68]

So you have to spend another 200.00+ to make it a functional saw, while I just take a husky or Dolmar off the shelf and fuel it.

Filter is 59.99 ; coil is 179.99 ; HO Oiler ; dogs and big boy cover and wrap handle is additional + porting (less if you have knowledge to do yourself) what you end up with is a saw that’ll produce prodigious amounts of wood ! If you doing it to make $ the mods are paid for in a few days anyway
