That is kind of disappointing, I had a Husqvarna.... what the heck was it rancher or something for a little while, not too bad, not that much of a brand fanatic, just like to know parts/service are close by, seemed like a decent saw, sold it and went with a Stihl MS 390 display model that had scratches on the inside handle from hanging up, was discounted so it followed me home, pretty good saw, 20" bar, says you can go larger, but I think I'd just get a bigger model with more HP if I needed longer bar, that 441 looks tempting ! My friend wore out his poulan and soon after I got mine he grabbed a MS 361, they perform about the same, though his is on the professional grade side supposed to be friendly for rebuilding. We've cut side by side, a lot has to do with your chain being sharp and how you operate etc., after a few years both saws have been pretty good, he's done more wood, I have not even worn a chain out on mine yet, bought in '02. Mine was clogging the fuel filter, bunch of scraps from the injection mold process were in the tank from the factory, I made up a tool from stainless wire to pull the filter out, flushed it, no more starving for fuel, only trouble so far, that 361 might be right for you 16"-25" bar, though I wonder if 4.4 hp would be ok for the longer bar in large dia. wood though, really seem like both are good saws.
