which saw is the best one to buy? I was looking at 460, but felt it heavy and with primer button on a prosaw

You will get far more of a response if you put this in the Chainsaw section.

The MS362 may not be the lightest, but it sure is the most easiest on the body saw I've ever ran. Smooth, smoother than a 372 or a 441. Well worth the investment for the long term.

But....will be the most expensive also unless you catch an as new saw as used. Just a nice saw when tuned and broken in correctly. I can see myself with one when I'm 80......M-Tronic, IF it ever comes to this model would be just perfect.

460 not a pro model

I' rather have a ms361 than a Husky 460 and I'm a Husky guy. :msp_smile:

In the Husky pro saws, in that size, look at the 359, 357xp, 365 and the new 560xp.

Had a 361 for a couple years, great saw, fairly light, decent power and good AV. Switched to the 362 when it came on the scene a couple years ago, never looked back, no regrets. The 362 is everything the 361 is plus better AV, dust filtration, and seems to have more bottom end grunt than the 361. 362 gets a bad rap for adding weight, 13 lbs compared to 12.3 for the 361 but it also, if I am remembering the specs correctly, has a touch more hp. The 362 powerhead weighs the same as the ms290/310/390 powerheads but is a much better saw. The new 311 and the 391 both are listed at just over 14lbs, now thats a poor weight to power ratio IMHO.
