I hate to do something unusual, like drag this thread kicking and screaming back to the OP's original question....but
We have a couple of 441s with 32" bars that we use for landing saws. They're about a year old and they've been used hard. Clean fuel and clean filters are about all the maintenance they get and they're run by a variety of people, some good, some not. What I'm saying is that, in direct opposite to most home owner 441s, these saws get abused every day.
We've had absolutely no problem with them. None. Zero trouble.
Are they the saw the 460 is? No. I've run both and the 460 is just a better saw for the work that I need it to do. The 460 has a little more grunt and they're also very reliable. We got a deal on the 441s and for price I couldn't see turning them down. I do notice though that if there's a 460 and a 441 on the landing the chaser will usually go for the 460...especially if there's heavy bucking to do.
But if you're not into heavy production cutting and you can get a good price on one, a 441, especially for just firewood cutting and such, should be fine for you.
