Ok, now you've done it...I also have an 044 (Magnum) and it is absolutely a power-house. I ported the muffler case and it runs a 25" bar like butter through white oak. It's my main felling saw since it can easily bore cut any log on our property and it doubles to make hemlock slabs with my Alaskan mill when I need decking or bridge boards or whatever. Those West Germans, man, they knew how to make things to last.
