MS441 R C-M M-Tronic Review and Mods

[albert]

My understanding is the 576 should be ran under heavy load for the first five minutes or it wouldn't reset the system, and this would cause the system to not run properly. http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/117653.htm

Thanks for the link, don't rememberb seeing it.

is the 046 still in the mix? or is that back with brad?

7900 vs 441cm vs 576at vs 046. DO IT!

The 046 is Brad's dad's saw so that is out for now. I know some get a little bent out of shape when I compare the 7900 to other 70cc saw, but it fits in as far as weight goes. To be honest we already know the 7900 will come out on top, but hay this is for fun and I think everyone likes looking forward to a new video everyday.

Has the 576 been muff modded?

No, and it won't be. How much would it gain I don't know.

 

[Philbert]

Actually the 576AT was out two years ago.

I stand corrected - thanks. I thought that they were just in the conceptual/development stage until recently.

The 576 might end up muffler modded but I want to run it bone stock first. I was thinking it might be nice to have one saw that's not super loud.

a fat cookie cutters musings....

I had the pleasure of running both the 441 and the 576 tonight. Well all I can say is Holy ####, these saws rock!!!! I want you all to understand that I lean towards Stihl BUT that only goes so far. The 576 is smoother by a long shot. I was a little dismayed as the 441 did not feel like the other 441's I ran. Now, IMHO, the 441 has more ass and has a more "interactive" engine managment system. You can feel it trying to please you. The Husky's getting there. It was nice to hear it finally 4 stroke. I'd like to see the 441 with the normal handle and springs and the 576 with a few more hours on her. Either way Gentlemen, you won't be let down.

I forgot to add that I LOVE the Husky's O-ring air filter and rubber oil delivery. I could do with out the top cover that looks like a hard-on though....

Coming from a guy that like the dolmak hd filters.:msp_wink:

I do think it looks a little funny but I do like the one piece top.

Myself and and Nik agreed that having a one piece cover is a plus..

I have the video from today processing right now, it's a long video so it's going to take about 30 minutes.

Come on Andy, ya gotta run the Dolmar w/these bad boys!

Not really fair to, we could've run my Dolkita but left it at the shop. The 7900 is no more a 70cc saw than my 361 is a 50cc saw. However, this may not be the case for long. This technology is here to stay.... These saws are on the ground floor.

Holy crap Andre, hurry up with the vids, my ####en knee is killing me and I wanna get to bed!:msp_angry::msp_angry:

 

[Andyshine77]

OK here is the video, I messed up the editing a little in my haste, they're a few clips that are too dark, I'll clean the video up later.

Doesn't the 441 have the heavier av springs? It might be closer to the 576 with the standard ones.

I think there is, but function is more important IMHO.

MORE AIR!!!!!! hahaha

no way would a novice cookie cutter like me buy it with the heavier springs. Now, it has been brought to my attention by a VERY reputabile source, that once modded, the 441 would benifit from the stiffer springs....
