    Oh, it's not about trying to hide anything, and sorry if my previous comment was construed in that manner.

    Use to have 2 older 041's . The oldest had a 28" bar while the newer of the 2 had a 18" bar . Sold both and bought a new 441 from a guy on craigslist for $100 less than new . Dealer would not give money back after he bought it and his truck broke , so he was desperate for the money to fix his truck . Checked serial number to make sure it was not stolen and went to guy's house and picked it up . Still in Box , no oil or gas had been in it , has a 25" bar .
    Works for my purpose's , did buy another chain from dealer for cutting in My madrone log deck . Went back to a Full skip for no reason , just did ???
    I don't mind running them , usually they are used in bucking softwood , but works fine for my purpose .
