I got the 2188. Its alway better to have a few more cc's and the weight difference was not big enough for me to get the 2171. If I get into milling and love it I can get a bigger saw and dedicate it to just milling

Picked it up today. Runs like a raped ape. Was cutting 30 plus inch Hickory and it ripped right through it Thanks everyone

I take it that I should not worry about the fact the distribution and dealer support is in flux. It seems husky is taking back JRed

So with Tilton out of the JRed business should I hold on the 2188. Do you think there will be enough support I really like he dealer. He is small and most important friendly. How can I be sure he will be able in 6 months to take care of any issues

So the suggestion would be get the lighter 2172 for everyday use and go out and get a different power head for any milling. If you had a choice between the two 2188 vs 2172 for felling and bucking, forget milling and money was not the issue which would be recommended.

I just wanted to see if I should be aware of any changes that are already in the works. I was thinking the same thing about the 36 inch bar coming standard being BS. I was originally thinking he puts the 36 on for the showroom more than what would be recomended. When I asked thats what he...

I appreciate you mentioning the 395xp and the fact that if I really get serious about milling there is a very good chance I will want to upgrade. The situation I am in right now is I need a saw for felling and bucking that is not to heavy an can be used all day. The ideal truthfully would most...

The JRed website says it takes up to a 32 inch bar. I asked the dealer and he says the saw comes directly from JRed with the 36 inch bar standard. He went further to say they would not over state the ability of the saw and if it could not handle it the saw would not come that way Has anyone...

I do not have the mill yet. Thinking a 36 inch Alaskan. I have some 30 plus inch hickory that needs to be cut up this week. My stihl 029 just is not it enough

I started this thread again in the chainsaw section.

I need to get a big saw. I want an all around saw for felling and bucking that would allow me to do some milling as well. I am leaning strongly towards the JRed 2188 in fact I am due to pick it up on Wednesday. It comes with a 36 inch bar and I would get a 24 inch to go with it. Any...

Does anyone know if these splitters come standard with hwy rated tires. The guy I am buying from was not sure last night.

I am leaning toward the larger 26 ton splitter. It seems to make the mot sense. The guy selling says its two yrs old and used for roughly 15 hrs or 4 times. I would be saving roughly 800 dollars which if true would be worth it.

I am going to be looking at two splitters tomorrow. Choosing between a 22 ton 5.5 hp Honda gx and a 26 to 9 hp Subaru robin. The cycle time on both is roughly 12 seconds, both are used, with the 22 ton slightly older. Both are iron and oak. What should I be looking for and aware of in a...

I am looking at two used I/0 splitters. One is 22 ton with 5.5 hp Honda gx the other is 26 ton with a 9 hp subaru robin. They are both priced at $1400.00 and have cycle time of 12 seconds. The 26 ton is slightly newer. Any thoughts? Neither have the cradle and both are h/v. I have to...

Since I have a tractor, BX24 24 hp I believe 17hp or 18hp out the back. Is there a mill that attaches to the rear pto of a tractor, or would run off its hydraulics?

I am sure once I get into this I will want a bigger saw, hence the idea of buying the 36 even though my saw is a little small for it. I figure $200 plus to get started and probably $2000 3 months later. And I agree you can never have to big when it comes to toys. By the way gemniii it was...

I learned about this site from the Tractorbynet site. Both are so informative. I ended up buying a Kubota BX24 from the info I received there and am very happy. So I am planning on doing my research hear and purchasing a mill. I am a weekend warrior at this point in my life as I now have a...
