Dumb question on Stihl 044

[Bill G]

That’s about a $2000 saw nowadays. I would probably put it on the shelf if it were mine and cut with some thing a little less meaningful

I know I would not run it.

We will see. It will actually be over a year before if/when I will be able to use it due to nerve damage to my right hand. Just excited about a new toy. My father in law is 84 and won't be using his 044 again so will probably be able to use his.

Is it really ? I have an 044 slant fin 10 mm in that shape.

A guy I know bought a new one 10 years ago for 1200. Things got crazy during Rona and they went up about 75% in value

Think about what you would sell a NOS 200T for

 

[Dennisthemenace]

That's a very desirable saw. Think twice about running it. Especially as you appear to have limited experience.

$2000? I can go down the street and pick up a 500 for around $1700.

Anyone want a hard worked 440 for 1700, come get it and I'll go get me a new 500.

Tell me I have a few?

 

[capetrees]

Can you go down the street and pick up a new 044?

no, but I can get a new 462, a more modern more powerful saw than the 044 and still less than $2000

 

[huskihl]

no

If that saw were put up for sale , there would be folks tripping over each other to get a shot at it. I wouldn’t pay $2k for it, maybe, but someone else out there would.

I know a few people still running 044’s, running strong too. I put a few of them through the wringer years ago. If they were new, I’d pay the 462 price for one over the 462. But I’d have a 461 over both.

I've got both, for serious cutting the 44 runs rings around the 462 stock. The 462 is a good limbing saw though
