MS441. Has anyone purchased one or have new info?

[Greg Lees]

My dealer in TN has several on order, but nothing so far. How about anyone else?

Haven't seen anything yet. All we know is what's been posted here.

Maybe one of the dealers here has some more update info.

Late spring.. Hmmm, that one month left.

If you ever wanted a 440.....now might be time to get it.

440 is a great saw....they are everywhere...

 

[Greg Lees]

I agree, but I'm trying to be patient. I have a 361 and would like to compare the 441 to the 460 as the next step up for me. If the catalog is correct and the two weigh the same, but the 441 only has minimal power gains over the 440, then I'd probably lean toward the 460.

Uh, I would. The stratofied charge filtration or injection or whatever, isn't worth the weight to me. If you're gonna lug it around all day, it should pull it's own weight. The A/V might be nice though.

The weight add is deliberate and almost all in the crankcase casting. It's part of a new series of long life engines. They say 30% extra life. I'll buy that any day.

The 440 is a very nice saw though...

A dealer told me last week that they actually are available here, but he had none in stock.
I can't blame him, as even 60 cc saws are rarely sold here....

 

[Greg Lees]

Talked to my dealer in mid-TN today and he said the tech dept. @ Virginia Beach told him the release has been delayed...Don't know if that means the last day of spring or summer or fall...

They are about a month out... or so I've been told.. That makes it "very late spring", by calendar, but it's definitely summer here (for a few days).

Hard to believe it has been all most four years.

:agree2: Yes, why dig this old and non-informative thread up?

We all did it. Join up, start searching threads and respond to one we didn't know was ancient. Welcome to Arboristsite.

Until I saw the date, I thought maybe we were talking about the 442.

I guess that one still is some years into the future - but the MS882 milling saw has existed for some years, but is N/A in Virginia!
