I did a little research on them after I got the 440. Apparently they can basically be rebuilt on the tailgate of a truck.

I have an MS170 that’s a good little saw, but that 440 is something else.

My son actually has it now because he went to the camp to cut down some trees for firewood for thinking season. We’ll never get rid of it!

Thats part of what paying for a pro grade gets you. The rest of it is better vibration isolation and lighter weight. Some have wrap handles.

The 440 magnum is fantastic

Stihl MS 250. About $400
Stihl 261 is a pro saw and costs more.

The most important thing with modern chainsaws is take care of carbs and quality fuel.if not using premix fuel use ethanol free.
When done do not let fuel set in carb.
Older stills had great carbs...newer ones have moved to China crap...ask any repair guy
