    So I was in the local stihl shop yesterday... They had a 441cm that I tried for a few minutes. Was impressed, but told him I had too many saws to buy another. He said they like to have some used saws around to sell.

    One thing led to another and we ended up working a trade. I got a new 441cm and a matching 261cm in exchange for some of my old saws :)

    Had to give up an ms200, 026, 044 and 066. Also gave him a 346xp, 254xp and 359. But I got to keep all the bar and chains for the stihls since he said he was just going to put new ones on to resell.

    I really wanted to keep the 254 but he wouldn't do the deal without it.

    I'm surprised you didn't get him to throw a 362C-M in the deal. :confused:


    Was he going to put "Farm Boss" bars on them for the ultimate in resale value? ;) :cool:


    And I agree: [​IMG]

    After five minutes with a 441 cm I just knew I had to have it. Never thought I would become a moronic fan boy. The saw was always tuned just right and I saved a good 1/32 of a second cutting through a 16" log because of it.

    I'll keep the little orange screwdriver to fix my friends saws, but once they run my new moronics I bet they will see the light too. (Govt intervention in the free market can be a good thing, who knew?)

    Here is a picture of the new m-tronic carb adjustment tool:




    I might paint it orange so I don't loose it in the woods.

    It was an 066. Don't think he would have gone for a lame turd 660. He said he has a lot of guys looking for the pre EPA saws that stihl made its reputation on.
    Is this real enough for you?

    So your dealer put the 261's clutch cover on your new MS441RC-M or did you decide you liked the captive bar-nuts on the 441 just that much better? :p (I remember that thread on AS.... ;) )
