MS440s in Stock

I made a quick trip to my Stihl dealer to pick up some clutch springs for my MS660 and they are going to cost over $1,000.00! Yep the new German made MS440s are in stock and sitting on the shelf. The wrap versions were not shown as available yet so I have a little time to save up the money, $979.00 for a 28" wrap model, $30.00 less for a flush cutter.

I also picked some cool Stihl water bottles!

HOLLY oop: thats outragous

Sounds like a steal to me...576xp up here is $1250. They'll likely list for a couple hundo more in these parts even though our dollar is over par.

Wow, a grand for some clutch springs? You could practically buy a new 660 for that! :jawdrop:

Good job on the water bottles though, need pics.

BTW the Stihl water bottles are biodegradeable. I hope just not in 21 days like Bio Plus!

Clutch springs cost $1000? Are you kidding us?

Must be made out of titanium lol. About that 440 that is a great deal for the bar and wrap. I was throwing around the idea about going to a 460 if my 044 blows up, but since they are still kind of available I may try to find one in the future.

MS440s, is it a new version of the 440 ??

The little "s" means plural, ya know more than one.

No the clutch springs don't cost a thousand bucks. I went in for $12.00 worth of springs and left knowing I was going to spend nearly a grand on a new saw. That is if the 440 will be offered in a wrap version. My dealer will cut me a good deal but with nearly 10% sales tax the total will still be pushing 1 large.

location?

1000.00 for a new 440,,i think i will stick with my 361

I rather have my 361 ported also then spend 1k. Ill try to look for a used 440 with the mahle cylinder.

Pictures or it didn't happen

I really hope this is real, I've been trying to track down a 440 for weeks, :msp_w00t:

That's pathetic. Talk about price gouging!

Tell Bill that Bill Kiff sent you.

I see no reason to even bring them back for that rediculous price. Only the most hardcore 440 lover would even think about buying one. Yes, that price ticks me off, lol.

I agree thats some BS I dont see many being sold at that price. Ide go with the 460 first.

If they go for that at my dealer... that puts the 441 at $200 cheaper, the 460 at $50 cheaper and the 660 at $50-ish more expensive.

I'll pass...
