And kicked his butt!!! However... the owner of the 2171 said his chain wasn't very good and was some off breed of a safety chain. He did say mine cut faster, but my chain was razor sharp and I have my rakers filed down aways. Being the same sized saw and if they had comparable chains I would think they would be pretty close in performance. Nothing against the 2171.. seems like a really good saw, just some observations I made yesterday!!
eh?

They sound like a lot of fun, hopefully I can make it to a future GTG!!
440 ...
You take a nice honest approach to this I being more of a Jred fan see your point! I also believe in my own little mind that Stihl makes really good saw's so long as they are big saw's. The 440 460and up are all good saw's I had a 044 and in a way I wish I kept it. To be honest I think in the current crop of 70cc saws there is so little diff between them you would be splitting hairs. Off topic here I don't have a 026 or 260 but I have a real soft spot for them as they seam to go forever.And kicked his butt!!!

The 440 is a very good saw .....I'm still thinking about getting one to replace my 044....One of the guys we cut wood with has a really strong running
.
Is that 044 going to be for sale?

You'll hear a buncha crap from people that don't know squat, but I did the same to my buddy with his little 2171 also... They are nice saws, but they just don't cut like the stihls do bro... Rub it in his face every chance you get now...

I hope she will be feeling better soon I can't imagine the stress you are going through By nature I am a worry wort.
Yep, you guy's rely on chain speed. Dig the dogs in and watch your's fall flat on it's face.
We just got gobs of power/torque, go ahead, dig in.
