bought a 441 Magnum today

[SawTroll]

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.

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

This tread is getting nasty - reminds me of the first part of the "Prince..." tread...... :rockn:

A German I know just sold his 441, and replaced it with a 7900 - said the 7900 is by far the better saw.....

...and he is a die-hard Stihl fan....:jawdrop: :jawdrop:

You are right stock for stock. The 7900 better be a better saw, its bigger.

Yep, but still lighter - and it wasn't really my statement, I never used any of them.......

and both are alot wider then the husky brands.:biggrinbounce2:

BTW: I used both of them. I'm sure you noticed how the 7900 dips down with a 20" bar when you are holding it.

Wider? in most instances girth is a good thing!!

Not always, Try hiking around with it in the woods. "Logging"
then try a slimmer package.

Huh? The carb is a Walbro HD model (440's use the HD) with the air intake bolted on. The carb is only a single barrel. The other is for the strat air.

I told him about the two ports. but did not know the mixture side was the same as a 440. thanks.

Really? Dan was complaing about 12 ounces.

My 372 balances close to perfect with a 20" laminated bar - slightly front heavy with a Power-Match 24" one.......:greenchainsaw:

...haven't tried it yet with 16" and 3/8x8......

Not talking about weight, talking about width..
But now that you mentioned it, in most cases, wider and heavier go together.
I'm not complaining, just stating the facts.

 

[manual]

funny how it turns into complaining or belly aching when people don't like to hear other peoples opinion.

 

[SawTroll]

Hey, this is the other thread about nothing, what are you guys doing here? And why didn't you bring SawWitch?

Guess she will be here pretty soon....... :rockn:

 

[SawWitch]

Hey, this is the other thread about nothing, what are you guys doing here? And why didn't you bring SawWitch?

Well, here I am....

 

[tawilson]

Well hey there. Is this your first visit to the "other" thread? It's sure looking like the other "other" thread lately.

 

[SawWitch]

Well hey there. Is this your first visit to the "other" thread? It's sure looking like the other "other" thread lately.

Btw, I think it's my first visit here..... :computer:

I know the difference between weight and width. I was merely pointing out everyone has something to complain about with the 441. Maybe complain is the wrong word. Maybe I should have said everyone states facts that make the 441 look like a bad saw, rather than talk up their own brand?

Show me someone who uses saws in the woods and cant handle how much ever wider the 441 is to its Husky counter part, Ive got a pair of panties for them.

I dont think it turns into complaining or bellyaching...it starts out that way. If 12 ounces or a couple fractions of an inch are your concerns, maybe being around saws isnt your cup of tea. I, for one, find hand placement, time spent in the wood, and fuel and oil consumption more important than 12 ounces or a couple fractions of an inch.

 

[tawilson]

Ok sounds great,
I will now leave this "How great my 441 is thread"
Until Tuesday Gentle men.

Hah! Just couldn't stay away, could you? Any thread with 441 in the title just draws you like a moth to flame. You're gonna end up owning one yet.

NOt my cup of Tea, Maybe you should take your Designer saws and go out in the woods and make a living with them. LOL

Oh BTW just wanted to show you what all that Belly aching about the 441 my friend did.

Yep traded it in. to get what. And guess who reccomended that new saw to him, oh my its bigger then a 441, as you know.

futher more I use my saws to make money. I work on them myself. and I earn every bit of the money I make with them. So just maybe I just might know something.
