    image.jpg After a lot of thinking, reading, comparing, more thinking, and shopping around... I bought a Stihl MS 441 today!

    I've been wanting something bigger than my 261 cause we do get into some big hickory and cherry around here somewhat regularly. Notice I said "wanting" and not "needing" a bigger saw. Which was my dilemma. But I stopped in at the local dealer who I know very well on my way home from work, got a great deal and here it is.

    Nice saw Dascro! After you have cut some wood and broke it in a bit, let me know when I can borrow it. Would you? We like to share things around here ya know.:D
