Just a bit bored tonight so thought that I would throw this out there. Without getting into any brand bashing, which saw would you go with for all-around property maintenance and firewood duty?

Been reading that the newer ones weigh a bit more and deliver a bit less on power, specs indicate a whole 0.1kW less. Anyone who has run both notice any real difference between the new 7310/7910 and the old 7300/7900? I have a stock 7301 that is just amazing and I have a chance to pick up a...

I realize not many are fans of these "what's it worth" threads but I've got no other real way of determining. New, never had fuel in it. The newer model with the primer bulb. Any and all opinions helpful, thanks.

So I got this used 261c to try out which fires up well enough, nice and responsive on the trigger, but sputters out and stalls while idling. Changed the plug, made sure fuel is fresh and still no better. Took it to the local dealer and the tech wants to hook it up to the diagnostic, meaning he...

As the title says, would you buy a used saw off of someone if they admitted that it was rebuilt, or shy away because it's most likely worn out in other places?

I know there is a strong Echo following here on AS as well as the Husky faithful, which should encompass the Redmax. The Echo has benefitted from Shindaiwa technology and the Redmax appears to be similar to the Husky 353. There are some dealers offering both for a limited time at really good...

So I was at this auction a little ways back and come across the 7900 needing work and grab it. Then lo and behold there is this other beauty in a beat up old box. Well I just couldn't pass it up either. Now I know that the 7900 has its following here on AS, but it seems that with the Solo 681...

I was looking to get some opinions on the Solo but figured I might as well get down to the meat and potatoes. I've come across a NOS Solo 675 which I could pretty much trade in my 6800i for plus a few bucks. Just wondering if this is really a good step up or not. The Dolly has all the...

Does anybody out here have any love for or opinions about the Solo 675? There seems to be nothing out there about this saw and I'm wondering if thats just because it was overshadowed by its more powerful sibling the 681, just like the Dolmar 7300 was against the 7900. Is the 675 a good saw...

I've come across a few of these in the last few months and was wondering if anybody's got some thoughts on these? Both times they've been sitting around with old gas in them. Are they worth tinkering with or just not enough redeeming quality to bother with? Just brainstorming only because...

So I was driving and minding my own business when I pass this house having a content/estate sale. The thing that catches my eye is what appears to be a pretty good condition (meaning most of its paint is still on) older style chainsaw. Well wouldn't you know I find myself pulling over to take...

I'm just curious as to why there doesn't seem to be much information out there (and here) on the Jred 2153. Anybody who has one currently or previously care to share some wisdom?

Does anybody have any opinions on this saw being a good one or not. All I can gather is that its the newer version of the 120(120i?) but is it a solid and capable saw? Since its obviously used are there any trouble spots to look out for? Thanks!

Thought that I'd open pandora's box here and invite the Husky faithful to try and persuade me on the virtues of the 346XP. It appears that I can get one out of the US for just a wee bit more than the Dolmar is here in Canada. The downside, of course there has to be one, is that I do not...

On my revised saw plan many seemed to indicate that a pro 50cc saw might be the right way to go, specifying the 346XP and MS260/261 in particular. Since Husqvarna's pricing in Canada is out to lunch and I really like Dolmar, already having decent relationships with some dealers of these and...

First of all, let me say that I've been more than happy with my set-up as I don't do a lot of heavy cutting, but now I gave in to a bit of CAD and want some opinions. My most used saws have been my under 40cc ones for most work around the yard. My PS510 has been all I ever wanted doing mostly...

I've been looking to pickup a small limbing saw for awhile and had pretty much decided on the PS-401, problem being I couldn't find one around at least not for a decent price. Then I came across this one and thought that it might do the trick, albeit at 34cc instead of 40cc. So the questions...

I came across this Makita DCS520, never used, that the guy had bought years ago and put into storage. Just wondering how good (or not) of a saw it is. I've read here mostly, that it is basically a Dolmar 111 or 115 but not much else about these. Other than being an older Dolmar design is...

Hi all, I've been looking at picking up a smaller saw for limbing and general yard maintenance. I was considering a Dolmar 401 or the Husky 336, both used. There doesn't appear to be much written out there on either of these, especially so for the 336. I used to have a MS200T that was ideal...

Hi, I'm a new guy here. I've been all over this site and others as I'm looking for a new good quality homeowner saw (just got rid of a canadian tire power mac). I looked at Husky/Stihl/Echo and think that I like the Dolmar 420 and 510 best (plus I have a dealer not 5 minutes from me). The...
