I cant get into 044, 440 saws,  I would rather have my 460 or 461 any day.noticeably more torque in my opinion, and I haven't ever seen a stock 044 out cut a 460 New or old.... but I don't get out much

An old 10mm 044 will out cut a new EPA choked out 460.
I guess you've never ran one? Maybe you should get out more ;)

I had a 10mm 044 last year but  sent it packing,  so what is choked up on the 460?  I believe that my 460 had  the same deflector in the muffler as my 046.  I just thought they changed the combustion chambers a little over time....

I've found the only thing the 460 gained was weight.....A 10mm 044 will keep right up and feel better doing it!

That's speaking stock vs stock.

Exactly!!! Hard to beat a 10mm. Those who knock em must drink the orange Kool-Aid regularly or are just here to argue for the sake of arguing.......gnome sayin :)

I'm by no means saying its a bad saw, I am saying a 460 has more torque than  044/440 and I have not seen one out cut a 460 especially in 20 inch plus wood.
