461 users and porters what do you think of this saw

[junkman]

Anyone weighed a 461? I wondered what they weigh are they close to what a 372 weighs?

The 2 brands are personal preference ,weight is not a factor if within a pound ,cut with one ,and pic the one that is going to feel more comfortable all day long ,the handlebar angle on the huskies i could just not get used to ,so i run the stihls ,even the older stihl handlebars are not comfortable to me ,it is kind of like handlebars on a motorcycle ,pick the one that fits you better and run it .

I tried a new one from my Stihl dealer, defiantly a nice saw but I liked running my 2171 & 2186 better, just my preference. I didn't notice it being any more fuel efficient than my J-reds though. It had a whole different feel to it that I didn't like

Have to find a 2171 to try, The Dolmar actually feels better than the 461 does handle bar angle wise ti me. The 461 is sturdy though which is nice for longer bars.
