...You make the sawin' loops go round!
OK, so I was talking about The Masterminded 441 for sale on this site with a friend of mine, and not being able to buy it because of dental work that I am getting done (me, broke). He mentioned that his cousin had a 441R that he was not using after moving to the burbs, and that cousin owed him some cash. He was interested in my DP 044R (AKA, the Ken saw), which I wanted to replace with a 441 because of the vibe. So I suggested a 3-way trade as a joke, but he said he would call his cousin. Well, push come to shove, we did the trade this evening. I got a 4 year old 441R in really great shape in trade for my 044R that is also in great shape. And their debt is now settled.
I like the saw because it is so smooth. It is a big ass saw though. The Troll does not like them for the weight and width, but I have tendonitis and its either this or a Husky 365/72, and I have all these Stihl saws and bars. So, I am happy. No out of pocket cost for me. It is like cutting with a watermelon, but it cuts nicely slung with a 28. Its not the M (M-tronic) or the C (Comfort) model, or the Q model (Quickstop). Just a plain Jane 441R with an easy start grip. No computer to mess with. The R on this is the same as on the 044: dual dawgs, roller, PNW side cover, & 3/4 wrap. Not quite the power that my 044 had with a dual port (CDN 460 Magnum) muffler cover though.
