On and off the shelves - ms 440

[BKrusher]

Anyone have any insight in why Stihl keeps this great saw in limbo...I see its back again in the wrap handle version.

Not NJ. Our dealers only have 441's.

Ok, well I see it's back up on stihl's website....so i'm assuming its out there in some areas. But then again I don't see a 241cm on the website and we all know it has been released in some places.

 

[z71mike]

Strange.

I've yet to see a 241. They do have the 150 though, which is a surprise.

 

[LowVolt]

Yeah seems strange.....

There's a dealer at home that has one on the shelf.

I've had 3 new ones since they discontinued them and sold all 3 without fueling them.

my dealer had 2 460's tuesday and sold both next day if i had not just bought a 461 i would have got one.

My dealer said that they were allowed to produce so many saws that didn't meet current emissions specifications. Stihl can sell so many and then they/we are out of luck.

Uh...never mind.

 

[z71mike]

Oh boy.

About the only time I didn't like running the 440 we had at work was when we were clear cutting a fenceline that went on for ever. Took about a week and a half with 4 guys going at it with. Everyone grabbed the 361's we had and since I was low man I got the 440. Most of the bush was less than 6". A little overpowered...lol.

My 362 C-M cuts very well, but it is smooth as glass and a pussycat to use compared to the 70 cc saws. Is yours a C-M (M-Tronic)?

Sounds to me the 440 is doing what the old 372 did time and time again.
