actually you have ridden the teet of that blue ox of yours into some money and take on easy tree work while still riding that stump grinder around town.....

i wouldn't want to work for you unless it was for big money day rate because you actually don't really know you ass from your elbow regarding actual tree work.

that is your tree service. do you chip into that excursion of yours?

not knock'n you bud. stay safe.
so are you nothing more than an employee??? figures.... someone w/a foul mouth and a chip on his shoulder would never make it as a business owner. not to mention how narrow minded you are.... what a joke, theres no way an idiot like you could even begin to afford all that nice equipment.

deisel would be nice if you like them.

No, that's a future project. Right now it's a good runner and a daily driver for me. When, and if, it starts rusting and getting a bit rougher round the edges I might start playing with it. You ever do a Hilux conversion on one of these? From what I read it's not too hard and a diesel would be badass.

i can get great power out of the 22re though and still get good MPG.i SASed my 88 and it still drives just as good if not better than when it had IFS.

I have thought of the 7M-GE conversion though.I personally hate deisels. the VW TD conversions are popular lately.

372 is the way to go.

I run 24 and 28s on them and have no problem.

you can watch all the videos and read all the specs you want but the 441 ain't a 372xp.

If you're scared of Husky power,i'd suggest the 441.

if you just don't have a Husky dealer,are worried about what your weekend warrior buddies might think,or don't want to change you ID on here,get the MS460 or a used 044/440

Smart guy, with good ideas. :cheers:

I got a solution.....

I say oldirty and stihl the deere go head to head with the 441 vs the 460 and then switch saws and go again. The fastest combined time obviously wins...umm....AS braggin rights or something..whatever.

We will see who the stud is both in man and machine at the same time.



Eh, if they wanna fight after that...I suppose we have to let them.;)

Good idea!! Only go one better.. try it on say a 30" hardwood on the ground.. once with each saw.. then go try it on a vertical standing block maybe 20" off the ground to simulate using up a tree... again twice.. Then we know for sure..

If there is any point to be made in this thread it may be that this class of saw is the choice for cuts while up in the tree. Why?

On the ground you have the ability, while stable, to keep the bar and chain IN the profile of the cut. When in the tree and making awkward cuts from awkward positions the bar and chain will often move into the side of the cut profile causing stress on the engine. Therefore naturally you want the most power and torque to power through those temporary situations.

Obviously you want the lightest saw with that power/torque so fatigue does not set in to affect completion and safety.

I bought a 361 because I heard all the firewood guys raving about it and was immensely disappointed in this saw for an aerial saw as an example. Back to the 44 then the 460 as weight reduction did not offset power deficit.

OD makes a great point I agree with.

A question asked on Commercial tree care and Climbing is for another climbers opinion.

why we get all this other traffic annoys me. doesn't mean that some of you don't know anything, just that your opinion isn't needed, or the question would have been asked on a different forum.

so beat it. half the climbers on here are full of #### too.:dizzy:

460's have more power and therefor cut better, swing on a rope with one (without the ground saving your ass so you can set it down) for a living and then your opinion matters. maybe.:buttkick:
So a heavier saw in a tree is better.....

I vote for a real time youtube video of numerous face punches and maybe some curbing , that would be awesome
