The beginnings of another MS440/460 Hybrid

You might change your mind after you run it, they are a hard saw to put down

I cut all pecker poles anymore, i wont lug that saw around for that

We have a huuuge job in august i may take it for a run on ..ill see

I hate cuttin firewood , but im sure when i help my friends out and **** ill run it.

I don't trust the comp release anymore on ported saws, I've had em leak by too many times I just plug em now

I run the blue husky ones. Have not lost one yet,they are the blue oem ones not aftermarket, spendy at the dealer though,they are same thread and depth as stihl

I'm also pretty impressed with the 10 mm 044 Randy ported for me. Said it was his "new formula", works for me! I also expected it to be much harder to start w/o the C/R.

^^^^^What Mike said^^^^^ with knobs on

new formula, dunno if its got bridges, fingers or wormholes, don't care either, it's just a ripper! Much prefer it over the 441 Randy did for me, this one is a keeper

I think the two saws were tested on different days under different conditions. However, both were impressively stronger than the stock saw tested the same day. (Note: the #s from the stock saw did not stay the same)

Speaking of which, I have not seen any dyno runs for a while, what is up with that?

I would also love to see a dyno run of a ported 044, a hybrid, and a ported 046 on the same day. Would be very interesting. Hey, throw in a ported 441 too!

Corrections were made for weather in that thread on my 461.

That's a shame they gotta smell good

 

[stihlaficionado]

Smelling good is important

 

[Stihlofadeal64]

yep a good smell is essential to great sawing...

Really want to run an 044xb and hybrid together, need another Ozzie GTG!

I hear you, that new recipe 044 is very strong!
