2186 or 441

red!

I don't like the angle of the rope coming out of that Jonny. Seems like it would be less effective drop starting.

and get some dawgs on it too.

Hmmm... to fit my size 14 in the handle, I'd have to take my boot off. At 19 deg here now, my boot no come off. opcorn:

I love the feel of my hand running gently over the rump of a 441...

Nope...once ya had Red and Black, ya can't go back...

On the Jred, would you use the ridge on the recoil housing for gunning?

gunning clutch side up... i'd use the wrap handle - a bigger sight to look of of

 

[lovetheoutdoors]

i would settle for either ...both look nice to me

I looked at a picture of the 441 taken from behind it in the new Stihl catalog the other night my first reaction was "man that looks like a giant Tick" bet i runs good though ,,,,,
Take the Jred even though the front handle is angled wrong you wont have to be embarrassed when using it with other people around you

J-reds don't need a sight...the handlebar is straight across the saw.

 

[SawTroll]

2186 in a heart beat.

:agree2:

Yes, that is their lame excuse for it....:biggrinbounce2:

 

[Peacock]

you better get out to the barn and apologize to your favorite saw for the disparaging comment peacock!


lol



that 2186 would look better if it had bigger dawgs on it.

lol

It's got thick skin, at least that would explain the weight!

Gotta go with you there...the 441's no different than a moped...it might be fun to run, but let your friends see you on one...oh dear...

Troll, Troll, Troll...Jred needs no 'excuse' for their properly angled handlebar.

For it is just that way that GOD INTENDED THEM TO BE ON A CHAINSAW!!!

(Careful, everyone...I just invoked God to SawTroll...it's gonna get ugly in here before it gets better...)

Close, but I think I go with the 441 even with the bubblebutt. A little less busy. (Though I think my 880 is much prettier. ) The camera postion is less flattering on the 441 (e.g. camera too close).

On the 2186 I don't like the aesthetics of looking so much "grillwork" onto the black near the top of the saw although overall a more stylish design.

Ever notice on cars, historically you can tell how expensive a car is by how well designed the grill is? It's changing a little recently as the low priced cars are finally getting "smart" enough to copy better grills.

2186 without a moments hesitation. They are a joy to run and the handle built the right way (not funky angled) makes a great sight.

GO JRED!!!!!!!

 

[JONSEREDFAN6069]

dont get me wrong they are both good saw's but the jred looks like an exotic sports car and the stihl look's like a boxy volvo.
