If there is any point to be made in this thread it may be that this class of saw is the choice for cuts while up in the tree. Why?

On the ground you have the ability, while stable, to keep the bar and chain IN the profile of the cut. When in the tree and making awkward cuts from awkward positions the bar and chain will often move into the side of the cut profile causing stress on the engine. Therefore naturally you want the most power and torque to power through those temporary situations.

Obviously you want the lightest saw with that power/torque so fatigue does not set in to affect completion and safety.

I bought a 361 because I heard all the firewood guys raving about it and was immensely disappointed in this saw for an aerial saw as an example. Back to the 44 then the 460 as weight reduction did not offset power deficit.

What don't you like about the 361? I'm just curious.

I've had mine for three years now and absolutely love that saw. I love it in the tree when I can get away with using it. I only have a 20 inch bar on it though and that just don't cut the mustard on most of the larger removals I do. For those trees there is no substitute for the 44 IMO.

no way man! I bought a 372xp about 3 months ago it has a 20" bar on it. It comes no where near the power that the 441 has. I am really dissatified with this saw.

Well.. if they did a challenge then we know which is best saw.. if there was any question left.

But fighting.. only gives one or both a bloody nose !

Course they could do same with a Husky.. if they could find one that would keep up with a 460. Oops..did I say that!

Yup, I experienced the same with the 361. Sold it after 10 tanks of gas and now use a 440 after the 200t. 460 and 660 after that. I really like the torque these particular models have for in tree use.
