bought a 441 Magnum today

[CaseyForrest]

You all like your 441's?

Get it woods ported...its even better.

 

[Just Mow]

..about the 441. Any more of this and I'm just going to have to get one.

Don't get one. You would not like it
After all it has a heavy arse and weighs as much as the 460 with less power,
oh and did I tell you about the problems to arise because it has no vibration and that it comes through the wood so smooth that you don't even know the saw is running and dammit, it just might save you a little money on fuel.
Nah, you don't need one

 

[tawilson]

Yeah, it's almost like wielding a light sabre. Just a little heavier.

Not that I will take my own advice but it's time for you to use that employee discount and get one!

 

[441_Stihl]

Get one you will not regret it

 

[PA Plumber]

Told ya a long time ago you would really like it.

Yes you did! You were my first positive rep. Thanks for that and for the good advice.

I'd "hit" ya again if I could!

 

[441_Stihl]

Shush!!!!!

I count the pennies, look for the good deals, agonize over the small stuff, then I go to my Dentist last thursday and he says - $1200 for that tooth. :censored: Warranty??? :censored:

Damn, saws (PLURAL) seem real cheap ... So does that new Nikon D200, and... and...

chains

how much difference in the Stihl RSC chain vs the RM chain

 

[Cut4fun]

Hmmmm Modded 441 for $$$ or stock 7900 for $569 and have the same results in the wood. No brainer.:hmm3grin2orange:
Then get the 7900 modded someday and your still at the cost of the stock 441.
Then you have to figure out what to do with the extra cash and time from cutting you saved getting the 7900.

how much difference in the Stihl RSC chain vs the RM chain

Clearly notisable in clean wood, but I use RM when it is dirty - perhaps 1% of my cutting.....:yoyo: :yoyo:


RSC is the best chain I have ever used, for cutting clean fresh birch, but Oregon LP is not far behind - RSC keeps the edge a bit longer imo, but never gets quite as charp as the LP, because of the thicker chrome. :rockn: :rockn:

Anyway, this is nit-picking - availiability in the right gauge is what determines which I use, on my different saws.

Hey Stan!

Glad you're back. Believe it or not, you have been missed.

Yep, you are right on the money.

Some of us cant get past the way the Dolmars look though.

Took my 441 down to my dealer so he could have a go at it, and he was very impressed with what DN did to it. Wants to see about sending some saws up his way.

 

[tawilson]

Yeah, we didn't even get to give you your birthday spanking.

 

[TooTall999]

Hey Stan!

Glad you're back. Believe it or not, you have been missed.

Maybe he was actually out running his saw

 

[livewire]

Hey Stan!

Glad you're back. Believe it or not, you have been missed.

LOL...like TooTall said...but I thought you got so excited about running the saw that it bit ya in the carotid artery

Glad you're okay....but I still think you should dream u a new thread sometime!!!

..about the 441. Any more of this and I'm just going to have to get one.

I know nobody likes to here this kind of talk..........But.
My friend just traided his MS441 in, Had it what maybe two months.
Said and I quote " The P.O.S saw is guttless in the cut, he has never split more wood with any other saw. felling".

Of corse this is a guy that cuts 160 cords a week, so why would you take his word for it.

 

[Lakeside53]

Doesn't help... I know better...
