Very nice, I have been there, done that. 041 is a workhorse.
lo-vib is for sissies, and little girls with pig tails.

Worked with one for 20 years, but not frequently.

You should get a 'yoohoo' or something for your willingness to work that steep of a slope seen in pic1. How do you keep from toppling over?

Yeah it is diffacult to hold your coffee cup the next morning after giving her all day with one of those, but they sure do cut. My father bought one new on 2-12-79 according to the warranty slip. It's been partialy crushed and I sold it once to a guy who tore off into some frozen green white oak with a blunt chain& 50:1 mix and scuffed the cyl. braught it back after he screwed it up and left it. Found a used cyl. and I brink it out on special ocassions. I, the Stihl basher have nothing bad to say about this model, their continued operation I think allows Stihl to sell some of the iffy stuff they do today.
029 Farmboss? yeah right bring it on.

Nice to have all that torque, eh? Did a bunch of railroad ties with an 041 last summer. My wife, who usually just scoffs at the noise, became a true believer.
