Thanks for mentioning me Garrit.
I was thinking of you yesterday, that barn steel is almost uncovered
.Mines in very used cosmetic condition, but about 20-30 tanks through the rebuild.

What length bar is that in the video? I'm looking for something to run a 25" bar so maybe I'm better off with a 460/461
25", the bar had a slight bend in it at the back side of the bar.
The saw was very fresh(rings not seated)/running rich at the time and has much more power now.
It really depends what other saws you have and what you will be cutting the majority of the time.
If you plan on cutting wood over 20 most the time get a 460/461, if not then probably stick with the 044/440 as it is a bit lighter and less bulkier. I will run the 044 as much as I can without breaking out the 461, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do and you reach for more torque.
I currently have a MS660 setup with a 32" bar and also have a 25" bar for it. Was looking for a dedicated saw for a 25" bar. I also have a MS290 with 20" bar and just picked up a 2016 MS261C yesterday. Mainly I'm looking for something in between those two and the MS440 is dead in the middle for HP and I figured it would run a 25" bar nicely.

If you want it...
What're you talking about shoes? My head is cloudy right now but I don't remember anything about shoes [emoji848]
I have a nice MS460 listed.
Sounds like the 044/440 or the 460/461 would do the trick depending on the size of wood you cut on a normal basis.
I run my 044 with a 20 as my lightweight 70cc saw and my 461 with a 25.
Now you have a bunch of choices, ported 044, 440, 460, 461, and all are great guys.
Ok, when I run into.a situation like that I buy them all and figure out what I want to keep from there, really I do

I have a MS 440 that only wears a 25" bar and it handles every kind of wood with ease. You don't need to worry about a 440 or 044 with a 25"
