Yes. The 441CM and 576AT seemed to close the cc gap with larger saws, in fact the mm but stock 441 Brad had was on par with a good running 046. Look for post 148. http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/178634-10.htm One thing I really liked about the MM 441 was the throttle response, it was ported saw fast.
all iam saying its i hate working on 441s period. design took 2 steps back in terms of serviceability and thats no opinion its fact. at least the 576 stays inline with other pro saws in the way you work on them.
also i do like the new electronic carbs, but that doesnt over ride the fact they come on the 2 least popular 70cc models.
if they tried out a 372 xtorq autotune, i be in.
+1, Throttle response does feel very quick on these saws, right out of the box.
Throttle response has been a complaint on some strato's.
I personally don't think I'd buy another new saw without some sort of M-Tronic or Autotune bologna on it, and maybe some cheese... :msp_tongue:
well i was about to get a stihl 441c-m but found out that in aus the dealers dont have any softwear to fix a problem should it arise , they would have to pack it up and ship it back to stihl aus to fix it so no saw for 2 to 4 weeks or more so that equals NO AT FOR ME.
makes you wonder why a big company like stihl lets the horse out and then shuts the gate ?? :confuse:
Ok Matt i agree but
Holden V Ford
Good luck getting your ported 390 or what evers fixed under warranty in Australia.:msp_rolleyes:
Ya mate i agree again but
Im not paying an extra 6 or 700 dollars for an Australian warrenty no way.:msp_sad:
As you know as soon as you go anywhere near a saw with a grinder and do any modds bye bye warrenty.
Jeeze new fangled crap, all them little parts, tubes and what not. LMAO!!! As bad as a new auto.
I am happy not to be subject to such.
My god Randy you have enough room in there to fit a whole desktop computer to run that thing.
I wandered through some of Mastermind's build threads, I was quite frankly appalled at the "under the hood" clutter, I saw failure written all over them. They won't age well, wear and oxidation will wreak havoc, then off you go to assume the position at the dealer.
So, what does the m-tronic do when u are cutting along and u hit a knot? Does it lean out? Richen up? Does it advance the timing or possibly ****** it?
People only have to look at some of the ported 441 M-Tronics doing the rounds to see that the technology is VERY adaptable. Personally I think the 441's are an overweight and poorly balanced turd but there is no doubt they are a good saw. The people that own them love them but the same people always seem to have a full stable of Stihl gear so can't exactly be classed as non biased oke:
Personally I have the 441C's baby brother the 241C and it is an awesome little saw. I'll take my ported Dolmar 7900's and Husky 390XP's over a 441 anyday as it's the balance and handling, not performance, that I find a shocker.
I agree that the technology is limited compared to what is on motorbikes etc but it does work. Too much money and development has gone into it for us mere mortals to think we know better than Stihl on this one and we really shoudn't underestimate the IQ of the guys who developed it. Stihl (and Husky) have a lot more up their sleeve than this.
Even less chance of a quick fix if they found out it was a 441C sourced from the US
Good luck getting that puppy fixed via Stihl Australia!
and thats what me comment was all about i don't have much money so what ever i have i try to fix me self
thats why me truck's been of the road fo so long haha so it will be a normal saw and from what i have seen of the 461 wouldn't touch one for at least 3 years and i need one a lot soona than that look at me sig i've got withdrawal
BAD CHEERS.
