Is Anyone Interested In Seeing How I Port A 372XP

[moody]

Ok lets sort afew things out here.

If the M Tronic is a lame duck why is there a 241 C,441C coming 261C and 661 C M Tronic ?.

You dont need to service um.

Auto tune Huskys how many of then have been returned under warrenty.

Dont blame you for selling the 441 old non M Tronic model.

You send me a Husky 70cc saw that is better for work than a 441C and i will pay you double for it.

:smile2:

Address?

I mean honestly would you even give the Husqvarna a chance? No big deal really I don't mind peoples personal preference. Just because you prefer it doesn't always make it better. Here's an example of that. I'm a Ford guy raised in a family with Ford employees. Chevy guy's always say Ford sucks blah blah my reply is they get what I need done.

The most important thing's about a tool are 1.did it do they job?2.were you satisfied with the quality? 3. is it comfortable during use for you? 4.did it make your job easier?

If they do these then no reason for argument

The Husky's air filter won't work in their wood. Australia has several of the hardest woods in the world.......that means they see a lot of fines. Much more than we could imagine. The Husky filter material just isn't fine enough to keep it out.

I think we need to send a ported 576 AT over there. It might change his mind on Stihl.

We cut a lot of Hedge around here so I know what you're saying. It may not be the hardest wood in the world but you'd be surprised to see where it ranks. That's one thing I'm glad Stihl finally got right for the hardwood guys.

Ah yes, the old Aussie "our wood is tough and makes sawdust!" nonsense. We know none of you ever sharpen your chains! Admit it! It's the main reason they port their saws. Otherwise it takes forever to make the sawdust they use to turn in to pellets to power the huge industrial-sized grinders that turn Koala and Kangaroo meat into Vegemite.

you guys should know by now that ported saws suck,geesh

Of course the saws I build suck more....................

I will say that the C on the end of the 441 sold me on that saw. The 440 was sitting right beside it, but I couldn't see paying more for a saw with less power and no M-Tronic. I picked them up and I really couldn't tell much difference between the two. The 440 looked a little more compact, but I couldn't feel it just holding it.

OTOH, I do know it would have been a harder decision to pick the 440 over the regular 441.....

But there is something about the MT system though, it just.....works. And woks well.

I had looked at a 372xp when I bought the MS-362, but I didn't think I would need that big of a saw at the time.

Still don't really, but the 441c is fun to run.

Any new saw I buy will have a MT or AT system of some sorts on it, especially if it works as well as the MT system does.

Now if Husky can get their AT system worked out.

...As for anyone saying that the 441C is the best 70cc saw. I missed that, and sure didn't say it. I've got several 372XPs on the shelf, and ain't letting them all go.

What I did say is that the 441C is my favorite Stihl.......

There's a possibility that I was addressing statements made by someone other than you...:msp_rolleyes:

...Remember guys, this ain't about which is "best". They are just chainsaws......a tool that we use.........period.

Exactly.:msp_thumbup:

Aside from you fellows making jokes.................who said that sort of thing in this thread? Stating that work can be done and has been done with stock saws (in response to statements that ONLY ported saws can be used for work.......or that people that use stock saws are just 'playing') is NOT the same thing as stating that ported saws suck....opcorn:

I haven't seen an AT system fail yet nor have I heard of one failing. If you're referring to the carb issues in the early 550's yes there were problems but I've not seen a case where Husqvarna hasn't handled it.

There is no evidense that anything is wrong with the AT - it just tends to get the initial blame when something else is faulty (carb or coil), and for operator error.

 

[naturelover]

Well, that was meant the AT saws as a whole I suppose.

One would have to admit, there have been several reports on here of the starting problems and such on a couple models of the AT saws. Doesn't seem to pop up on the non AT saws, least it isn't posted on here as much.

I hope they get, or have already gotten, it figured out, as I would like to see the more emissions friendly and efficient electronic systems on future saws, regardless of who makes them.

Is M-Tronic something Stihl came up with? Or are they paying royalties to another company for the rights to use it?
Just my curiosity...

I don't have one at the moment....... :msp_sad:



I've got a MS441........but not a C. Yes, it really makes that much difference. The M-tronic system is a great addition to that saw.

As for anyone saying that the 441C is the best 70cc saw. I missed that, and sure didn't say it. I've got several 372XPs on the shelf, and ain't letting them all go.

What I did say is that the 441C is my favorite Stihl.

What I like about the 441C, as Young noted, is that it is very "Husky like". It's a quad port design, with spring AV......but, it also has the M-tronic system (that I like a lot) and it has a stratified engine, which means better fuel economy, and less fumes in my face.

I've offered to trade a very nice ported Husqvarna 372XP for a stock Stihl MS441CRM and no one has taken me up on that......the guys that have those saws must like them pretty well.

Remember guys, this ain't about which is "best". They are just chainsaws......a tool that we use.........period.

opcorn:

just saying if you like the ms441 before its even better now with the electric carb. its just getting old how its a whole new saw now with the "c" added, thats all.

its still the same saw with the same design.

and everybody knows i aint no orange fanboy.

as for the filter, stihl had the same issues as any other brand in letting aussy fines go through until the release of the hd2 filter. so up to that point husky did just as good of job as any saw.

As far as I know, they pay Husky to use it, and it basically is the first generation Husky AT. I can't prove it though.

 

[SierraWoodsman]

Heck, Randy hasn't even got my 372 yet, and I'm already itching to get it back and run that bad boy!
Looking forward to having one of these : :msp_biggrin:

I would wager that the vast majority of starting problems on AT saws is operator error and not a fault of AT or the saw. The system is a bit finicky, especially with warm starts, but otherwise seems pretty solid to me. You can actually hear and feel the saws adjusting themselves in the cut.
