First time I have cleaned my chimney by myself. Bought the brush and rods and just finished, not bad. Lot cheaper than having a professional do it every year. I have about 120.00 invested in brush and rods. They just paid for themselves. About 175.00 for a chimney sweeper to do it here. Here's...

The first saw that I ever bought was a 335 pro. The year was 1989. In my opinion very good saw. Mind does not have a chain brake, did not come with one then. I used this saw hard til about two years ago. Never any problems. This year had new gas lines put on because old ones started cracking and...

441 Our company has begun to make the switch over from 460's to 441's. Very good saw just alot of negatives on the board about the 441. People don't like change seems like.

441 I have had one for about 1 month now. Very nice saw. Smooth in the cut. Lot's of power. I also have a 361. Love them both. I run rsc chains. I can only compare the 441 against my Husky 385xp, it is not as powerful but then it is not in the 80cc range neither. I use a 460 at work at times...

pole saw Stihl all the way. I work for a County Highway Department in Maryland. We use Polesaws daily during winter months doing roadside maintenance trimming trees and one crew works year round using them,That would be the tree crew. We have nine crews that are using Stihl Polesaws, most of...

361 club Count me in. We run them at work, Highway Crew, Roadside Maintenance Work. Run the same at home for firewood. They sure take a beating at work from the guys there but mine at home is my baby. ONE TOUGH STIHL!!!

I might try a change from the stock to 8 pin sprocket. I run a 18" bar on the 361. Will my drive links still be the same as on the 7 tooth? And will I see a difference in the speed of the cut in hard wood. Thanks Rick

Thanks for all the reply's so far. I am still undecided but maybe a 440 would be better than a 460. I really like what Burvol had to say, the next size saw down from the 385 I have run is the 361. Wish it had more power so maybe a 440 might be the way to go. It has to be a CAD THING!!! Thanks...

Thinking seriously on buying the 460. I have been reading on here that Stihl won't be selling this in the future because of EPA Regulations. That is why I might pull the trigger NOW. Is there any reason that I should wait to see what comes out maybe soon in the future. I have a saw in this power...

Just picked up my new 346xp from my dealer this morning. NICE LITTLE SAW! It is the e-tech with the cat muffler, You gentlemen that have these saws say to change muffler over to non-cat. What difference will I notice if I change over. Really wondering if I need to do that and if I do, do I need...

Is there any difference in this new oil and the xp premium oil? I know that the old xp premium was better oil than the low smoke 2 cycle. Now is the newest synthectic oil better than the old xp premium oil. I know that the new oil is synthectic and don't know if my old xp premium is or not. I...

ne346xp I will go with the 16" bar for sure, just undecided on changing over to 3/8". I like the bigger chain because of those big chips flying, just seems faster. But because of limbing and small bucking maybe I will just stay with the 325 chain. STILL UNDECIDED. I can't see where it would be...

I have decided on the ne346xp Husky. I am going against my cousin's good deal on a 5100s Dolmar. Mostly because I have two Husky's already and all of your feedback on the 346. Now the question is: I want to run a 3/8 chain, what size sprocket to replace the 325 sprocket,how many teeth on it...

I want to purchase a new 50cc Husky but which one old edition or new? I have read alot of information on both here on the forum. I think I want the old model. A little confused to which to try to get. Please let me know. I want to get one next week. One other problem my cousin sells Dolmars...

Hello, this is my first post here. Great forum. I have a 24" bar that I am using and want to know what size the 385 can handle. The owners manuel says 28" max I think. I have heard this saw can go bigger than that. What are you gentlemen using? How does this saw match up with Stihl 460 and the...
