MS 441 better than MS 440?

[ms660isthebest]

Used the saw today cutting up a spruce trunk with a 16 inch bar. LOVE IT! But it seem heavier than the 440. i need to spend more time with her!

good saw the 441 revs higher than the old 440 making these new saws 261 362 ect from Stihl cut like Huskys, however their not as robust as the old 440 work horses, id pick the 440

Used both, have a 440 in the arsenal but think I would chose any new gen saw from any stable over old models, who wants havs???and the anti vibes on a 044 are utter crap...New saws are more economical and I'm told in the future with these new fangled auto tune carb style things you will be able to plug saws in a lap top and chose your power bands... Torque for felling or high revs and pick up for limbing sounds great to me

Was just reading this old thread.

 

Shame the auto tune revolution didn't deliver on this...

Just googled so if you spent £1000 you can buy the unit but I don't think id you could then custom  tune saws like with a car ecu?

I saw that farmers hack John Deeres a few years back

 

Why hasn't this developed alongside the auto tune revolution?

 

It seems a shame

 

MS400 a step backwards but at least it is 356 better that the 044
