husky kicks

[2000ssm6]

So 2 people that have not run the 440 say no problem:monkey: The neighbor didn't have any 372s, never heard of them. He did have a weak 385 though Guess I will find out some day....

MS440/044

Have you run both extensivly?
I have and a 440 doesnt hold a candle to a 372.

 

[rahtreelimbs]

From what I have had my hands on I will agree that the 372 is better "out-of-the-box" than the 044/440!!!


However..............


I have run a few 044's that were better than other 044/440's..............pretty close to a 372 if memory serves!!!


I am getting more and more time on my 441. While it may be heavier than a 372/440 it is a good replacement for the 044/440...........much better than husky's attempt with the 575!!!

Same ol bunch out there slamin Husky. I seem to have pretty good luck with them but I just race saws, I don't work with them, so what do I know.

I offered my brother to race my ported 2100 race saw for pinks against any Stihl in his shop (yes, they have 660's and 880's). All I can get out of him is a HE!! NO. It's not the fastest saw in these parts either, that would be my father in laws ported 3120.

I still don't have a problem with Stihl saws, just you cheer leaders talking out of your @$$.:deadhorse:

I'm not slammin Husky by no means and if I do it is in good humor I don't know where your race saws come in here but go ahead, I'll listen

If you consider me a cheer leader then call the others who have not run the 440 that also. Otherwise I will continue to talk out of me azz, they are just opinions sheeesh:taped:

I briefly ran a 441 in oak wood and it's a much smoother saw than a 440 or 660. The 575 is just as good if not better than a 441.

Just have to play the advocate. I wouldn't want the new folks to think that Husqvarna doesn't build a great saw (and they do). The race saw thing is just what I do, cant comment on an honest days work (you couldn't get that out of me any way )

Advocate? LOL there are many Husky lovers in this thread to beat me over the head:notrolls2:

Anyone that has surfed this site knows that almost or all the XPs are great saws. I do but don't have a reason to buy one:hmm3grin2orange:

btw anyone ever said you look like Keith Urban?:biggrinbounce2:

Rich, with all due respect how much time do you have on a 575 or the 441 for that matter? I have put a limited amount of time on both and to be honest the only reason the 441 has a leg up is because it doesnt have a rev limiter. From a performance standpoint they feel pretty close.
I have owned two 440's, ran one other and have owned 4 372's. The 372's where always faster BTW.

The only 575 that I ran was Russ's modded 575............and even then is wasn't all that great. Besides you know as well as I that the 575 has gotten pretty chitty reviews.

As for the 441.............I own 2...........one is in dry dock...........I have enough time on it to know that it may not be a 372................but it ain't far enough to say that a 372 will smoke it.


All things considered...............stock for stock..............there are differences amoung saw models...................but it sure isn't like comparing a stock saw to a modded saw!!!

For a variety of reasons I dont believe a fair comparison can be had by running a saw at a GTG for a few cookie cuts. Let alone one that has been modified. As for reviews...Most of the "reviews" I have seen are based on speculation rather than trigger time. I am not saying I love the 575, because I dont. I also wouldnt say the 441 is a markedly better saw than the 575 because to me they are pretty dang close after actually cutting real wood with both. Fact of the matter is I would side step both while the 372/2171 and maybe the 7900 is are available. I dont need a slightly heavier, slightly slower 70cc saw!

I have ran both also and now for certain that in real wood a 372 will cut faster than a 372. You might call this smoking it, you might not, but the fact of the matter is the 372 is faster.

modded saw really have o place in this conversation, but since you brought it up. I can saw with clarity that when comparing my old 260 fixed jet to my 346 when stock that the 346 was much faster than the 346 vs 346 with porting. I would think the same would apply to a 357 vs 036, or husky or stihl vs. a Echo etc.
