Stihl 044/440.....Best saw ever made???

[wigglesworth]

Is it or is it....and discuss.

 

[madman39]

Idk, I just got my 044. Parts are on there way!:hmm3grin2orange:

 

[Zombiechopper]

372

 

[little possum]

Depends on the application. It does have a great reputation or following.

Good power for weight.

 

[blsnelling]

How is it I voted yes on two of these threads now? Basically I'm voting as "best in class".

 

[Zombiechopper]

I always vote for the prettiest, so have to vote no. Lots of 70cc saws are prettier.

 

[Zombiechopper]

Si means no in Gaelic right? Or is it Armenian....

Acually I have never run a 440. Never even picke done up....can't buy one or handle in stores....

I can buy a new 460 or 372 though. If I were so inclined. Can't buy a new 440. People always seem to want what they can't have

 

[Andyshine77]

NO not even close IMHO. Very good, reliable and extremely well built, but not the best. I'd pick the 441 before the 440, but this stuff is very subjective and.:deadhorse: :notrolls2:

I wanted, I bought:hmm3grin2orange: They're still out there, believe it or not.

 

[WoodChuck'r]

I think the 009 is better than the 044, but hey, just my worthless opinion.

 

[rxe]

460

 

[blsnelling]

460

440 with 460 topend is better IMHO. That possibility is part of what makes the 440 the best.

Hmmm, this must be one of those "Obama" polls I've been hearing about!!!

Besides, wouldn't the MS441 be in this same catagory?

Nope...

Hey Wiggs in our hood if you talk to real loggers they'll tell you the truth. The 044 is, always has been, and always will be the best in it's class saw Stihl ever built and I for one :agree2:.

But you know me old Stihl heads are hard to get to change. If it ain't a Stihl it ain't a saw. I opened a can of worms with that statement didn't I. I run um and I like um. This old junk of mine will work circles around all them Husky saws that LP has. That being because I'm man enough to run um and he ain't. Enough said by me best go for I get in trouble.

I would say NO if it was a choice....:hmm3grin2orange:

Yeah, maybe someone will call you on it, but if ya gotta pick a fight, at least you're on the right team.
