early thoughts on ms 441 cm

[splitoak]

I am by no means a pro..now that being said here are some of my thoughts on my new saw..
1..power to weight...this saw with a tank and a half put thru it is awesome gobs of power it just wants to run..seems to have a very angry disposition and very loud..lol
2... fuel effiency...for a large saw seems very good
3..starts very easily hot or cold..seems deco valve maybe unnecessary
4..AV very smooth in the cut.. a real pleasure to run
5..POWER...did i mention how much power and torque this thing has?
6..price point...expensive...but i have learned thru the years of buying stuff..buy once cry once.
7..manufacture...i thought that stihl was made in US...but this saw has made in germany on the bar and powerhead..
8.. in conclusion i really like this saw and i hope i get many years of service from this bad machine..

Stihl is a German Company!

Stihl is a German Company!

Yes, but their stuff isn't all made in Germany.

Isn't most of the big bore stuff still made in Germany?

Edit: Asking, not inferring.

You chose well. I may step up to 70cc as my primary firewood saw some day but that'll mean my 036 Pro will have to go since I am a 2 saw guy. I'm very curious to see what Husqvarna puts out on the market in the near future for a 70cc AutoTune saw. There's also a ported 372XP a nearby friend owns that I asked him to give me right of first refusal when he decides to sell it
