461R only comes with wrap handle no HO oiler

[treeslayer2003]

my 660 is load now but yea that 461 sure sounds good. I don't think it loader but different.

How come the standard 461 doesn't come with the HO oiler? How big of a difference is a guy notice between the two oilers when I wouldn't go above a 25" bar? I've been looking at them pretty hard but don't like the wrap handle on the R model. Surely a guy can swap them out??

Mine has the front of the guts cut out with the existing port opened up along with a dual port..it is probably my loudest saw

I think they prefer a new saw ,but they most builders do used saws also ,not sure of any in new york area ,there used to be a list of site sponsors ,most of the builders are signature sponsors

Been trying to search but not finding a lot i will ship not a big deal

Dozer Dan is probably the closest

Keep it, the 441 is my baby, I am thinking about sending the muffler off to be gutted.

The 461 nearly completes our Stihl pro line collection

Just need an 880 now to round it out, but I really have no legitimate use for one.

So are you enjoying the 461 or the 441 more now?

I've sent questions and concerns to Stihl, and each and every reply I received, they answered my question(s).......kind of.

Replies were always kind of vague and left room for interpretation.

Too bad they can't be more informative and helpful.

Mike and I ran them side by side for a few hours Saturday trading them back and forth and honestly I could do without the 461. It cuts a little stronger but since I opened the 441 muffler there is not a huge difference.

However, the 441 is MUCH smoother and is much more comfortable to run. Running the two side by side really makes me appreciate the 441. The 461 even has the stiffer R version AV springs, but just doesn't compare as far as comfort to run.

That said, I think we'll still keep the 461
