Light weights are bad a**! A bite delicate and require more pampering when compared to solid steel bars IMOP, but bad a** none the less! Now just cut four inches off that 36" and take back that power it robbs from you!
Nicely done but,...Yeah, I like them. Simple and reliable, also good power for their weight. I don't want to crap on anyone's saw choice, but I never liked the 441 that replaced the 440. IMO Stihl finally came out with a worthy successor with the 462.
That's the particular saw I used to carry at work until I got a 462R. It's an old fire saw...they get run on the crew a few seasons, maybe get a top end rebuild in that time, and then they get replaced by new saws before they become too problematic. Some of us will end up with the old worn out saws and then will rebuild them for a personal falling saw...that's what I did with this one, the top end was roached on it among some other issues.
Anyway, I rebuilt it with a 52mm top end(76.5cc) and ran that for a couple years at work. Finally was able to score the sole possession of the brand new 462R and have been rocking that for a little while. Kinda had to, as I was looking at missing work because of carpal tunnel issues...when it's flaring up, rubber-AV Stihls are out of the question for me to run.
I ended up messing with a bunch of aftermarket top ends on this particular saw, I really learned a lot about porting on it. As it sits right now, it's got a 460 top end on it...I really nailed it for a falling saw on this particular build, it's actually got really nice torque for a hybrid saw. I have another 044, pretty much the twin to this saw. That one is a bit of a spicier build, but can be a bit "pipey" for a work saw...cuts like mad if you have your chain set up perfectly for it though.
It's twin, although they have 2 different personalities:
Just say'n!
Tell that to Mr Mac daddy he don’t care bring it . LolLight weights are bad a**! A bite delicate and require more pampering when compared to solid steel bars IMOP, but bad a** none the less! No just cut four inches off that 36" and take back that power it robbs from you!

7.5 cubic 123cc King of the woods doesn’t matter if it’s 36” or 72 “ that saw just laughs at the woodMy favorite
Well then that being the "case"? I beg your pardon! Good on ya!
Spin that 36"! 
Big Block?
Although I much rather wheel this around considering it’s almost 10 pounds lighter lol
"Bye your leave Mr. Mac Daddy!"
Big enough. Lol
125 class! I'm not familiar with Mac's bar mount system, but I would expect so?
All that orange is hurting my eyes. Where did I put my sunglasses?
I think I hear a tree screaming BIG MAC ATTACK!
Now that's what I'm talking about! Great choice of bar length too I might add!
I bet that thing can pull some wood! Probably almost as good as my hopped 661! 
Almost!
Yea the hype is real , put a WCS export in it and it woke it up even more .Now that's what I'm talking about! Great choice of bar length too I might add!

I suggest if you ever get a chance to run one do it ,like having a Cummins diesel strapped to ur arms . Lol
