[climber96]

Don't know, but from what I've read here the 440 is the one to get.

Don't know, but from what I've read here the 440 is the one to get.

I have a 440 and a 046. i run the 440 with a 20'' B/C and the 046 with a 24'' B/C. i cut primarily hardwoods. i like the 440 better for firewood and the 046 better for felling.

The 440 and 441 are totally different saws. The only thing they basically share is their place in the line-up displacement wise. The 460 gets the edge power-wise but it is not a crazy difference. You will be able to get a 441 or year to come but the 460's days are numbered apparently. I have and love a 460. Any 70cc saw is going to be heavy if you are hanging it from your saddle IMO. I would run them bothe and see which one feels the best in your hands. I really don't think you can go wrong with either.

Get outa here.046 without question. Awesome saw.

For what it is worth, they both weigh the same and the MS460 has more power. I have a MS460 and it is awesome. But it comes down to what you prefer, a little more power or better AV's... You can't go wrong with either.

Yeah, but it can be frustratingly ineffective.

Langford is a nice area. Have a good friend with an incredible machine shop there, including a 10000 lb horizontal boring mill. Oops, I digressed. MS460. No question. They mod well too. Cheers, Simon.

Just went through the same decision, bought the 460 and couldn't be happier with it's performance. Bought mine with a 25" run a 8 pin in hardwoods with no issue.
