It cuts a bit faster with the 8 pin. I wouldn't recommend it with anything over 20" because you have to be so light with your touch.

Yup. Put DP 8 pin & 24" on mine as soon as it got home. Really liked the saw, but was starting to get the impression it didn't have any torque. Very touchy. Threw the stock 7 pin back on, and loved it. 20" on down, and the 8 pin is great.

Couple of weeks ago, just for kicks, I put the 8 pin on the 440 with a 16" bar w/ fresh 3/8 square filed chisel chain on to limb and block some 12-14" ash. Wow! That smoked!
 
It would be fun to run the 440 with a 20" but I really need the extra length of a 24". Or I could run the 440 with a 20" and move to a three saw plan...

The 440 is such a sweet saw. I can run it for hours, limb with it, block with it. I can only guess going much heavier I would be grabbing the 50cc more often. I would like to hear more after you run the 441 and 440 together.
Dok
 
PA: After I put the DP on my 440 and got it broke in, I find it a great saw to use. I tried the 8pin but found it was not a good match when using my 28" and cutting hardwood. I like the 440 more than my 441. The 440 air filter definitely collects chips, but the 441 seems bulky and does not balance as good for me. As someone above said, I had the 440 first and just may not be adjusting to new technology. If anyone knows where to find a new 440 (must be a few remaining), send me a PM; then I can further delay this adjustment.

I do have this teensy little confession to make...





I like the 440 better than the 441.

Just in case someone may have missed the small fine print of PA PLUMBER's post above:

"I like the 440 better than the 441."
