I was at Woods this afternoon and found out that the 440 is back in production in the US, for a while at least. Good news I figure.

Now I can get one I have always wanted a 044. I think my pack of huskies might not take kindly to the intruder though.

Funny, I was thinking exactly the same thing, Rajan.

I have 10 huskies, so the odds are not in favor of the German.

From what I gather from Stihls sites around the world they never really quit making it or the 038 Mag .They just stopped selling them in North America .

Rajan: Want to sell any of your Huskies? No. I'm not trying to make an enemy of you for life, it's just that I could use a bigger saw right now, and I--for some probably not good reason--don't want to get another 440 even though they abound on Craig's list in my area.
The grass is always greener ya know--if there's plenty of Stihls, of course... I want a Husq.

I couldn't it would be like selling one of my children if I had any. I have names for most of them. What model are you thinking about getting? I got 334, 338, 350, 346, 357, 365sp, 365, 372, 385, 3120, and a Jonsey 70e.

440 is a great saw, nice and light with plenty of power for most bucking/blocking.

I had to read around a bit to figure out what you meant Erik. I thought maybe the altercation on the highway last week had gone viral.
Brian I didn't get you one this time, though I wish you had told me you needed chain. Next time.

No problem, Dave. You've been pretty busy lately and Gary offered to take care of it for me. It's all good.

To compare apples to apples... the new 440's are no where near what the older 044's are.

ya you can't beat a 460 but mines gettng some age on it so maybe I'll look into a new 440 while they re-release them.

That's high because locally a 460 with a 20" is $979 .A 460 is a lot more saw than a 440 .

I can honestly say that I have never run a 440. I do have a 460 Magnum, entrusted to me by an older guy who said that he could barely lift it with his bad knees, and knew I would be giving it a good home. It is a fine saw, and I get the impression a real good one to mod, but I haven't touched it beyond removing the muffler screen.

Guy from Calif posted cost of in stock MS440 is $979 for a 28" b+c with full wrap and $30.00 less for half wrap.
I wouldnt pay that for a 440 or even a brand new older 044. No way. Not even in desperation. They were decent saws but not $1000 sort of decent. No way. Period.
