Stihl 440 for trade

Tucker943 · Dec 15, 2008

I have a stihl 440 I am looking to trade for a Husky 372, 365 or maybe even a 346. I got the saw new in 06 if i remember right. The inner felling dawg is missing and I suspect the threaded hole on top to put a new one in might be stripped out. The outer dawg is there. The saw runs great and starts right up everytime. It has some use on it, not abuse. I have always had it dealer maintained and run all my saws 50:1 synthetic oil. Dont hesitate to make any offers, I'm not set on those saws I listed. If my pic links dont work, I will email pics.

I take it you just like Husky's better?

I have a like new 365 special, but I cant bring myself to part with it. plus 372's I wont part with.

Always wanted to run a stock 440 to see what all the hoopla is about. I would guess about the same as a stock 372 right?. Be warned I thought the 460 stock was gutless.

What do you want for the 440 outright?

Tucker943 · Dec 15, 2008

Its not that I prefer Huskys. Its like i said in another topic on here, I get better dealer support from my local husky dealer. The 440 is a good comparison to a 372. I really enjoy that 440 but i am doing away with my stihls with the exception of the 200t's. Nothing will steer me away from those.

Brand new not broken in with that stupid pencil sized exhaust hole. If truth be told.

Al Smith · Dec 15, 2008

No matter still ,than Stihl still should have ran fairly well .

Tucker943 · Dec 15, 2008

Geez no one even offered me a beat down piece of garbage yet. I never said I was looking for a show pony! I also have a running 200t with a squirelly oiler for $120.

Tucker943 · Dec 15, 2008

:roll:

I run a 36" bar on my 046 pushing full comp chain. It aint no 066, but it aint near gutless.

squisher · Dec 15, 2008

That must be a bear to file.

Tucker943 · Dec 15, 2008

I apologize arborworks but I am not in need of that saw

arborworks1 · Dec 15, 2008

How much for the 440 then?

Yeah it can be. I can give it a once over in about 5-10 minutes depending on how dull it is. I prefer semi skip but whoever last ordered a roll of chain at work, ordered full comp. I wasnt real happy but I will use what they give me.

For sure!

If I ever get a chance to stop in at our local shop I gotta inquire about whether they've got any 440's left.

Tucker943 · Dec 15, 2008

I'm really not looking to sell it and then go snoopin around for a saw to replace it with. I would rather just see if i cant trade it out for a pro saw of equal value and call it a day. If no good trades pop up I'll just keep it around and use it.

top hopper · Dec 15, 2008

Ill trade ya a 036 and 009 for it.

Those 2 together should equate to an 044 (45 to be precise).

rbtree · Jan 4, 2009

I'm interested as I always liked my 044's....sold one to a friend, had one stolen.

For trade, I have a 575 for which I'd add cash to the deal....
an ehp 346, which runs like it was new...which I really don't want to part with
a muffler modded 5100S which isn't that much slower than my ehp 5100....I'd add cash to that deal as well.

a like new stock 372XPW, you'd owe me some $
an ehp 372....ditto on needing some $

a brand new 346NE....

Good point, bud.

I'd have to have a compression reading and a pic inside the muffler port before I'd go for a trade.....kinda gunshy of buying a 440 that's been run with only that dinky stock port.

thattreeguy · Jan 5, 2009

you wouldnt sell it out right, why not trust me i have some pretty lookin 346's but they get punished, great saws, i just wouldn't hand any of my saws to anyone without them knowin how they get used...hard
i wont part with my 372's
so you dont want cash ...i mean cash, to go to husky and say i want a new 346 please, why yes i do want the
20" bar with skip tooth please

Tucker943 · Jan 5, 2009

Treeguy, I cant understand a thing you wrote. What I am getting is that you think I am foolish to not sell it for cash.

The saw is no longer up for trade. Seems to be drawing a little bad attention and I'd like to avoid online pissing matches. Especially here, this place has really grown on me.
