So do I:) We'll be starting a new apprentice as soon as we can find a suitable one. I'm trying to make up my mind whether I shall let him/her have the 441 or the 461. I love that bit of extra grunt that the 461 has, but the 441 is so much nicer to run, less vibrations, inboard computer etc. I...

Yup. We run 8 pin on our 441/461s instead of the 7 they were born with. Those engines have so much bottom torque that with an 18" bar, which is what we mostly run, the saw cuts much faster without bogging down. Increase rim diameter= increase chain speed, Jed!

No, the chain speed remains the same, the sprocket rotates faster. Otherwise the chain would be moving at two different speeds, which is impossible.

Because it works real well for pruning jobs. You can get in anywhere with that carving tip, even places where the ol´trusty Silky can't reach. I've used it on my fruit trees, to remove those branches that are too big for the pruners. That tiny chain makes the cleanest cut, you can imagine. As...

I certainly wouldn't buy a hyper light saw as my only climbing saw. No way. Especially since the T150 needs an experienced hand at chain filing in order to perform IMO.

It was born that way. I didn't put it on. That little saw impresses me everytime I take it up a tree. On the rotten birch I cut into bite sized peices and dumped last week, I did everything up to 5" with the 150 then switched to the T200 with 16" bar. It really was no slower and for getting...
