    Bought an early version 024 (West German made) back in December. Some minor work and it was working good. Friend of mine did the same with his 024 prior to mine and needed money so i bought his 024 too back in February. Fast forward to this month. He acquires a nice used 036 Pro cheap as he deals used OPE...mostly chain saws. Puts a few bucks into it and shows me. Not a good idea for someone with CAD. Like his 024 he is keeping it to which i say "you'll eventually sell it". That came sooner than i thought. Ended up trading my first 024 and cash for it. Included used 25" bar, new full comp and used full skip chains, new 18" bar and chain plus scabbards IMG_4835.JPG
    Its not an MS400 but 62cc's :saw: Couldnt load the other pics.

    Local dealer had two a couple weeks ago. Posted in the 400 thread I cheaped out at close to a grand out the door. You are getting one Woodsnwoods?

    I am on the list. I will just sell my old 440 to offset some of the expense.

    Ive thought of parting with my 460 but i go back and forth. It was my first pro saw and only owned it three years. How often do you use you 440?

    Had to pick up a belt for Cub Cadet this afternoon and decided to window shop. They had two of these on display for sale.
    Interesting as this place was always a Husqvarna place until the local tractor shop went all tractor and the Stihl line made it to this store.
    The Husqvarna stuff is way less advertised, the lighting is poorer, and the selection is anemic.

    I use the 440 maybe 10-20 hours a year. I try to rotate through my saws each time to keep them happy.
