I just have the standard 441, I consider it my small saw when I am out cutting firewood.

I like your fourwheeler chainsaw holster. I have a small hard maple cookie zip tied to the front of the wheeler, which my clutch cover rests on, I have the rear handle in the gun rack with the rubber band deal strapping it down and I tied a piece of rope from the rack to the other side of the gun rack that keeps the bar from flying out I just slip the bar under that each time. This works good with half wrap saws. And i usually wedge my gransfors bruks axe under the saw too. Have any closeup pics of your setup?

Good stuff

Did you consider the R wrap model that comes with
High out put oiler
Twin bumper spikes
Roller chain catcher
Stiffer AV springs
Large clutch cover


Hello from Greece

In Greece and in Europe generally the Stihl has completely different reasons philosophy.
For example at stihl 441you can not have more than 20" Guide Bar
at stihl 660 you can not have more than 25" Guide Bar.
Can not find the models R or Magnum
When I bought my 660 here in Greece I had serious problems with the oiling of Bar. The dealer near me raised their hands up. The stihl importer in Greece say that you can not operate the saw with bar greater than 20" :bang:
Fortunately I discovered this forum and read about High out put oiler and dual port mufler.

So when you go to the Greek dealer and tell him you want the R wrap model or want to buy a 3/4 warp will look at you as if just arrived from space :D :D :D



Sorry for bad writing.

Your writing is fine.

I wonder why they have such short bar recommendations for the larger saws? Just seems odd they would do that.

Can anyone remember the stihl code (1128 640 3250 ??) for a new bigger oil pump.I'm thinking to put a High out put oiler for my 441 c-m or from another stihl model because as i say before here in greece the R model doesn't exist in the market.

How big of bar are you going to run? The stock oiler should keep up just fine with a 25in b/c. Seams like everybody on your side of the world runs 18 in b/c and smaller anyways:laugh:

I run 20'' bar and i want to put 25''.Sometimes i cut dead woods (oak) and i need more oil.For fir trees i have no problem
