Stihl ms 441-opinions please.

[jojam]

I have a 441 and a 372.The 441 is heavier than the 372.441 drinks more juice than the 372.I think the 372 has the edge on performance.But the 441 has been a reliable saw unlike the 372.I like them both and used them both often.Hope this helps:001_smile:

Thats interesting, I have always thought of the 441 as being fairly economical. Perhaps its just that its got a big tank and its gets loads done on a single fill up.

that is interesting i agree peter as when i asked the question 441 or 372xp about a year ago some people one here told me the 441 was better on the fuel than the 372 that is why i brought the 441 (the 441 last a long lime on a tank )

Gotta check all the screws, nuts and bolts on any Husky once a week imo, Its because they rev so high mate,

441 is a great saw mine has a 20 inch bar, if I was after a smaller saw I think I would get a 361 like Peter said. With an 18 inch bar the 441 would rip through wood like butter, we have a 044 at work that runs a 25 inch bar and that copes well.

no higher than any other. they just get there quicker & dismantle themselves on the way. good saws but crude and less longevity due to single piston ring & electrlux build quality

thougjht the pro mods had twin rings ??

Hi, new to this so hope this works...

 

I agree with Peter, I've had my 441 with 20 inch bar for a couple of years and think it's a great saw for logging up and felling but a touch heavy to be using all day for everything. I keep the trusty 260 old on hand for most little stuff and around the chipper. (Less chain to re sharpen too..)

[Tom@EVA]

Yeah I agree, I love my 441 with a 20" bar, it rips thru everything rapidly. great for logging up and slightly bigger stuff and good on fuel but a bit heavy for snedding/day to day.
