    372 is usually $800ish at most dealers. A 461 is $1049 sticker with a 20 or 24".

    They don't carry them at my local dealer. The 441cm I believe is $950. And i think the 461 is $100 more but don't quote me on that.

    This is oak wood if you could tell. This saw is a beast. I need to find a bar adapter and strap a bigger bar on. The 24" is no match for this saw.

    Looks like good gains. Seems to be able to push harder on it also. I think you're pretty close on a good work saw recipe.

    I like the old 372's, but not a fan of the XT's..
    I'd take a 7910 all day over the XT. Even if it was a little more expensive..

    I wonder what would happen if you tossed a normal piston in the XT and gutted the divider?

    372XT PHO= $850 plus porting and other interior work......................= $1200
    7910 ported PHO = $ 935 plus shipping................................................ = $980
    661 PHO =................................................................................................= $1100

    I would take the 661 over all, especially since I know I can run a 48" no problems ................. heck, my 066 with a muffler mod has shown it has the bowls to run a 50" while noodling ................................... and my 661 is stronger than the 066.

    For the money, I don't think a 661 can be beat, and the muffler modded 661 hangs with my ported 044 when bucking normal sized dropped trees.

    You guys need to run a muffler modded 661 to see what I mean !!! :saw: :saw: :saw: :saw:

    The only flaw I see your theory is the weight. The 461 , 7910 , 372 xt all weight a lot less and are much easier to handle all day cutting wood. I have an 066 know that never sees the light of day cause it's just as pleasant not to run. But I'm a wiener. Lol. The 70cc class is hard to beat as a firewood saw. Imho. But than again I probably use my 50cc just as much.

    That's all fine and dandy, but you can buy a ported 2188 for $1100 plus shipping... Does a muffler modded 661 beat a ported 2188? image.jpg

    The 1.5 pound difference can be a dealbreaker, good point.
    That's a good question Clint.
    I don't want to take away from the intent of this thread, and see the danger ahead. The debate over which saw is best could go on and on.

    Millermodsaws did a great job on this 7910, and I should not have started comparing the other saws ............ my mistake millermod, and I apologize.
