Opinions on the new Stihl 441

Yup... cause balance is sooooooooooooooooo friggin' important.:bang:

Throw a 28" or 32" on it and be done with it!

But it mite add 1/2 a pound to. And we don't have brush like devils club black berries vine maple salmon berries scub alder we just cut in the open meadow around each tree nice and flat.:chainsawguy: Here is some of our brush to get to 40+ DBH Doug fir. Note pic of Devils club a venomes type plant the thorns will give you puss filled sores. I am still taking 044 28" or 32" 066due to brush leave the 41" in the truck'typical around here.

If you stand below the tree the stump enters the ground around your knees on down hill side and at your chest on the uphill side.

That looks like the SH#%!! I have been cutting in for two weeks now. I call it BRUSH WARS.... Patients with a steady rythm is key to survival in that stuff. Especially when you cut a few loads with the limbs pilling up with it. That's when you need the skidder to come down the hill and girnd that SH#% into the earth so you can get out.

Easterners keep using their thick brush as reason for short bars we drag ours thru this stuff about as thick as it gets.
