    I have at least 4 50cc 7 60cc 2 70cc 2 72cc 2 20170909_152100.jpg 87cc plus more around lol
    The 50s will do it but for me a 70cc is all i use.
    I fall a lot of dead and damaged tree's for the neighbors.
    I'm lazy i only carry one saw lol
    Lefty as well the full wraps are very helpful to me at least most hate them around Here.
    I just run a 20 with a 24 handy if needed.

    Nice pic. It takes too long to get home from where I cut wood to just take one.

    I take 1 70cc saw and 1 50cc saw when i go cut. Its just better to have 2 saws. Old saying goes "two is one and one is none".

    I prefer the full wrap . But , the 3/4 on the 441R is the best by far for Stihl factory handle bars. . I also think it's a little taller than the 460 which makes it much mo betta when wearing choppers in the winter.
    I would prefer at least 3/4 wrap on every saw I own. Used to be the 3/4 wrap from an 044 would fit on a 026. Made it SWEET if falling on steepish ground.

    All I know is it seems the more I use the 441r the less I like the rest of my saws.

    The 441 is Stretched a bit. Longer distance between the pistol grip and handle bar, so, I prefer that. The 270 Stihl is Stretched also when compared to the 260. For me its a more comfortable saw to run.
    I hate to say it , but they feel more like a Husky than a Stihl.

    Bought a ms271 a few years back I did not put 1/2 a tank through it. My dad came to borrow a saw his was acting up. Haven’t seen it since, apparently he likes it.
