Of all the new Stihl's I've had it usually takes 15 tanks or so to get them broke in. It does sound like the rakers are a little low if the chain is grabbing.
That's really interestng. Every 441 I've seen on a dealer shelf here has a 25" bar on it. The Stihl catalog even recommends the 25".

Wow a lot of responses. Thank you all for your opinions sorry I didn't get back here quick just been busy this week. I called the local (closest) stihl dealer today to see what they could do for a 441 m tronic and the guy said they didn't carry those and they are not in much demand ( his words ) I asked about ordering one he said he would get back to me.....lol we all know what that means. Anyway after all the post I do believe that the 441 m tronic would prob. do all ( and more) than I will need, most everyone seems to be in the consensus it will have no problems with a 28" bar and that was what I am looking for, now I just have to come up with the funds and look around for a decent dealer. I will keep you all updated. Thank you all again for your time and thoughts, Keith
I am looking into a new saw not a huge fan of used stuff..just me though. I have been reading on here about how much better the 441 is for fuel economy than the 660 but from the last post...not so sure any more. I was looking at the 660 but was thinking the 441 might be a better choice in being more modern. It supposedly has better av and fuel efficient, was my thinking behind it. Just a blub here not saying a modern saw is better or worse just my thinking behind it. Might have to really look at the 660 better now.... It is nice to know though that from an earlier post a 441 will pull a 28" bar in hardwood though. I will have to do some more research on the 660 I guess. Anyway I will do some more research I guess just don't want to buy something and be really disappointed. Thanks again Keith
