MS 441 better than MS 440?

[iain_chestnut]

I have a 441 running a 25" bar. Awsome cutting performance and reasonably thrifty on the fuel. 2007 model and starts / runs with no issue.

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

 

now that would be cool

[Steve Bullman]

Neither of em... 460 any day!!

 

thats my saw of choice. i'll be interested to see what its replacement is like

amen brother

[liamjordan]

yeah i would rather the 460, only used one a few times but it did seem great! better start saving!

 

the havs on the old 440 ent that bad we run two of them, i can use it all day fine

[WoodED]

i doubt it, never used one, but i dont think i would ever get a 441, looks way to technical and too much to go wrong on it

 

you can beat the grunt of an old 044

 

well thats what i think anyway

 

exactly what all for of my tutors said at collage last week

Neither of em... 460 any day!!

 

 

Yeah well said, i love my 460.

First I've heard of it. Excited to see it myself though. Hard to improve on I'd say. I wouldn't be without one.

[Heads up]

Used both alot, 441 has far better anti vibes which is a big plus for me. Seems about the same cutting wise. Noticably heavier than the 440. Air filter is better but still ain't all that, tank of fuel seems to go further too.

It's a digression, but I'm starting to feel the need for a mid sized saw and looking at the specs, there is nothing to choose between the MS441 and the 576XP. Not wanting to turn this into another Stihl versus Husqvarna debate, is there a clear choice?

 

Additionally, does anyone have a good 70cc ish used saw they want to flog?
