...interesting, 9K RPM Both but the 445 out spins the .4 HP larger 450 by an RCH.

Chain speed at max power for the 445=56.89 fts and the 450= 56.76 fts


What the heck is an "fts" ? Full Teeth per Second ?

Usually it is measured in feet per second

Is Stihl and Echo only sold for MSRP? A poster said he bought a Echo 500P with 20" Bar for 389 and I can't find it at less than MSRP of469.

Stihl is definitely only msrp... unless your dealer makes you a deal. I was trying to get my dealer to come down a little on a fs250 and he said he really couldn't because stihl keeps raising his cost without raising msrp. I have a pretty good relationship with that dealer and I think he was being honest.

My dealer came off about $50 off MSRP on my ms362, and threw in some mix oil and some files. I thought it was a pretty good deal. I think it varies greatly dealer to dealer though. The other 3 Stihl dealers in our area were pretty stuck on MSRP like it was a lock-in price.

it does vary dealer to dealer and my dealer also gives a discount on based on how many piece of equipment you buy

The Echo dealers here do not waiver at all on list prices.

I can not recall how much, but I got a discount on my MS261. I shopped 3 dealers, first two said no. Third worked with me and even talked me out of buying extra spare filters.

The dealer I go to here has Husqvarna and Stihl. They will knock 5% off marked price. Not sure about the Stihl saws, but the Husky saws are marked a little below MSRP...

Next junker build in line. Will be using the quad port cylinders that out cut the 440 DP and 372 in my last 70.7cc rebuild testing. :thumbsup:

Going to paint this one orange with black cylinder and af covers with black tank. Just because they were made in the husky plant but never came out this way. Sort of on the lines on why I made a lime green one and also extra covers in purple to make a big wild thing. :laughing:

Was working on a couple of orange saws the other day for a guy and after test cutting I ask him if he wanted to run a Wild Thing. I went and got my WT 505 83cc and handed to him. I thought for a minute I wasnt going to get it back after test cuts with only 24" b+c and as big as a grin he had on his face walking away.
