Ok, so there are newer, more powerful, more fuel efficient saws out there. But is there a better all around saw than the 440? It is relatively light, nimble, powerful, and reliable. So newer saws may be smoother, use less gas, and may be more powerful. The 440 is such a great combination of features.
I picked this up recently. Completely dry the wrap version weighs 14.5 lbs on my scale. The flatlander version is under 14 lbs.
Stock hp is 5.4, add a few tenths with the factory DP and you're probably around 5.7-5.8hp or so, bone stock. This one will get the new Weber Custom full wrap bar installed too.
The old 372 is still my favorite saw in this class, but the 440 is a legend as well. They have both served me well over the years.
Let's see those 044/440's!
