Here we go. [emoji90]It may have been in the late 1980s, but it surely wasn't at the time it became the MS440. The 371xp beat the 044 badly by 1996, with much better air filtation, AV and performance..

Even after all these year I still get suckered in by niko and the 044 bashing/372 praising
The 044's chain brake handle is way better than the 372. The angle, shape, size and location make the chain brake way more betterer than the 372. And let's not forget the self locking fasteners, rear handle, handle bar angle, length of trigger pull, much beefier crankshaft, and spark plug entrance angle.
It should be clear that the 044 is far superior...
I think the 009 is better than the 044, but hey, just my worthless opinion.
Now Randall, there you go againI'm not a giver of 372 praise either. I've owned about ten.........and sold them all.
Sure they seem pretty fast.......but are you sure they don't just have an exhaust note that makes them seem fast?
Put a tach on a 372.......then on an 044. You'll see what I mean.
For daily work.......give me a 044........for cutting cookies......a 372.
Now........how's that for stirrin the pot?
To me it's half of one, six t'other. For every day, all day, I prefer the AV of the 372. For forestry work and occasional days falling trees, I am perfectly happy with my Bananafied 044.
Does this thing have finger ports, Randy? I haven't checked.
