    The new MS441C

    We still like it a lot. I don't get to run it much, because I can't pry it away from Richard. I have the 241C as well, same tecnology and a lot of grunt for such a small saw.

    You are simply incorrigible:lol:

    The new MS441C

    Yes, stock is a 7. I only run an 18" bar on it, so it'll pull fine with an 8. Even in hardwood. We have just logged about 1000 cubic meters of doug fir, that combo is wonderful for limbing those.

    The new MS441C

    Just got to run it today. The handle heat failed on mine, and since Richard doesn't suffer from reynaud's syndrome like I do, we switched saws. Switching from a regular 441 the first thing one notices is how much more torque the c-model has. Doesn't rev so high, but with an 8 hole rim it just...

    The new MS441C

    I haven't run it at all since the first day. Don't get a chance. Richard does the " When you pry it out of my cold dead fingers" thing if I try. That should tell you how he feels about it. It is a very good saw. Richard has put about 600 hours on it so far and nary a problem.

    Thanks. I'll try and calculate the saving by sneaking a truckload over the border.

    The new MS441C

    There is an EU rule about ex- or importing fuel that means I can't go to, say, Germany and buy it, but since Norway is not a member, it might work out for me. As for the color, who gives a damn. I run the Stihl version, because my Stihl dealer gives me a $100 discount pr. drum.

    Can you quote a price pr drum, please. We use about 10 drums a year, it would be worth it for me to make a run to Norway and pick them up there. A ferry ride from Copenhagen to Osle with a truck is only a couple of hundred bucks.

    Gallon and a half usually on an average.

    The new MS441C

    I'm not saying it was free of carbon, just that there was no build-up. It was just a light brown very thin layer. Alkylate is the stuff we have to run in the state forests here, costs a bundle: 16$ a gallon, but burns really clean, with no smell or smoke at all. If you run a CAT saw, you can't...

    The new MS441C

    If you are comparing it to a modded 460, NO FAIR! I had a 460 when I bought my first 441 and yes, the 460 was a bit more agressive, but not enough to keep it from being relegated to back-up saw. We had the muffler off Richard's 441 recently. It has made it through 3 logging seasons and will be...

    The new MS441C

    We were talking about how it was a little wasted on Denmark, where the biggest elevation difference is less than 900 feet. Then I told the boys about your working conditions and we agreed that it would be a fine saw for your area. That way you wouldn't have to adjust every time you went up or...

    The new MS441C

    Richard and I bought the new 441C this morning. Fully computerized, no screws to fiddle with. We ran it ½ a day each, alternating with our "normal" 441s. Verdict: it is a great running saw. Very torquey compared to the old models. Doesn't seem to go as high in the RPMs, but has plenty of low...
