So 2000ssm6, if you like the 441 so much, are you going to be parting with your NIB 440? I'd like it!

I used to live in VA, and I hated it! My idea of hell on earth.

I thought about selling it, for a split second, then said no, LOL.

If my 460 dies, it will be replaced with a 441.

Va is fine, the area I was in had too many arabs.......it needed more rednecks like down here.

Thanks Ich I was wondering how many would get it.
 
How do like that throttle linkage on those new little saws. :dizzy:

Finally got to give one the once over yesterday for like 1 minute (to busy at the time to really look at it) at first glance it looks pretty solid..... but that linkage...... haven't had one on the bench yet to really check it out for sure but I gotta figure those things are gonna rank right up there with the 200T for cussing the linkage. :laugh: :cheers:
 
You must have been in the 'burbs of DC, certainly not in the mountains.

Yup. Nobody speaks English, its like 100 and humid or raining every day, everything is really expensive and the people in general just sucked. Fairfax is about as close into DC as I would ever want to go, any more and its too much city.

As a rider, I thought Skyline Drive too close to the metro areas because of the traffic. At the southern end, the Blue Ridge Parkway begins (Rockfish Gap between Waynesboro and Charlottesville) and then its 469 miles of glorious, winding pavement to Cherokee, NC.

We're having a house built in the foothills of the Blue Ridge in what may be the most sparsely populated county in the state. Folks are really friendly, and much like where I grew up in rural western Pa more than 40 years ago.

I can't down load the vid, what is it?
 
It sounds like the 211 is working well for you. The weight is right there with the Dolmar 401. Is it another clamshell design?

Yeah, I have been through that area a long time ago, on a family trip when I was about 10. Pretty country. The biggest thing I hated about there was the hot summers in the city. I just couldn't function. I am used to the cold and can take the cold all day, the heat is inescapable.

I was in Sterling.

I have not been past taking the air filter cover off but looking in the handle, that rod takes a bunch of turns.
 
The 211 has a little more power and has the common 3/8" picco, 5/32 b&c. The 181 has the smallest chain I have ever seen, it is called 3/8" picco micro mini, very tiny.

Do you have a close up pic of this chain? I can't imagine anything smaller than the 3/8" LP chain.
 
Here's the good stuff, 1/4 pitch, makes the 3/8LP feel clunky and coarse, goes well on a 12" 021, 020/200, 64 links
