Filled, a 361 is nearly 2lbs lighter than a 462. I did the weigh in muhself, just for Ryan
.
The 462 has quickly become my 1 saw plan. I used to
hate autotune, but I quickly woke up. Always starts, idles, no screwdriver needed.... Also on strato saws, less time stopping to fill the tank. 462 shares the same oiler as the 500i, so in a pinch, it can be used to slowly pull a bar that’s bigger than it was intended for.
I am a Stihlhead, but my current setup is (all ported) a 261CM, 462, 395 for anything large and a 3120 for milling. Pretty much covers everything well.
Used to be a 60cc lover, but the 462 has quickly made the 60cc category a “tweener” saw for me.
Back to the OP, a 462 vs a 661 is apples to oranges. The answer of which to get is
both.
