The thread started very positive but then ended with a 461? Talk about a thread going into a spin.:dizzy: Quick, chop the engine… full rudder… forward pressure on controls!

I was thinking that to myself too, and why pinch pennies on a 441 when you can still get a new 440?

Honda makes a great small engine, the Amish use them from balers to pumps. I have a 13hp honda on my Dosko stump grinder, that thing is 100 percent reliable. Kawasaki makes a fine enduro bike, I got the KDX out one last time before the snow hits.

What if you got both?

I've had a Madsens XPW still new in the box for years, it's right next to a NIB 440. No plans to sell either one.

Flippy caps are over engineered yuppie gadgets. They make a great saw look silly and feel like crap.:laugh: Most people hate them, so how long is going to take Stihl to finally listen to the end users?????

Use a scope with tritium iron sites front and rear for backup.

Nice job Randy, thanks for posting your results. I ran a 261 at last years gtg and it was plenty good on power, but it just didn't feel right. I'll stick with my 346's.

I'd say the "must" of the must have saws would be the 372/2171.:hmm3grin2orange:

346 OE or NE 372xp 372xpw(75cc) or UNIVENT MS440 MS660

I was wondering how you did that. I suppose a boring bar would be too tricky.

Lathe question: Hey Randy, what's your tooling for cylinder work?

I've got Heavy 10 that was given to me, tooling and everything. Took all my Bobcat 310 could give just to get it unloaded and in the garage. Well, later I come to find out the bull gear is missing a tooth and the chuck is stuck on the spindle:cry:. Still, 200 bucks for a new bull gear isn't too...

Certain Stihl's are great saws, I'd never get rid of any of mine. However, some Husky's are just too fast, snappy throttle, good feel, good looks, just plain fun. That's why I voted orange.

660 is a good looking saw, even after a hard days work.

It would be a cold day in hell before I trade my 372xp or 372xpg's for a 441.

lmao!

congrats!. :clap: Speaking of 10, last week I acquired a 1947 South Bend Heavy 10. The bull gear had a broken tooth as the result of a stuck chuck. Ordered a used bull gear today from South Bend - $200. The spindle is out, trying to figure out how to get the chuck off.

440/372 are still king.:msp_tongue:
