MS290
031AV
361
038AV Super


I don't know what all the fuss is about the 290. It cuts just fine and I've never had a tree complain about the p/w ratio. Not long ago I posted that it's generally in the back of my pick-up (it really is)because it's never failed me and it won't break my heart if it disappears.

The 031AV was a non runner I found at an auction. New piston and a little honing put it back into runnable shape but I really don't run it much. I should probably let her run a little this winter.

Picked up the 361 because everyone else was. I'm easily influenced. There's nothing I can say about that hasn't been said already. I actually don't run it much because I because I'm a tad of a saw slob and it deserved to be taken car of. It's the only saw that I drain and clean thoroughly after each use. That and I love my 038.

You may want to go edit post 51 - You may not care about the language, but there are some that do. Some people do read these forums with their kids and ladyfolk about. Some of them carry a pretty big stick, and some are just good guys you don't want to offend just because they are good guys.

I have some Stihls, they're not bad (660 is my favorite). I have some Husky's and they're ok too. I want a 390xp.

Just an 026, love it.

Only cons I can think of are lackluster air filter and the kill switch position often kills the engine from brushing up against my body when moving in the bush. This never happened with any other saw except the Stihl.

I run four gallons of mix through the BR-420 a couple of days ago. It run wide open for about six to seven hours a day and never missed a bit. Started back easy after running a tank through it. It will run an hour and a half on one tank. I have a bunch of leaves to blow.

Some things never change.

Merry Christmas,

Ms 180. Shes petite, but what a hottie. I cant believe what it cuts and how fast sometimes.
026. Recently,indecently stripped to the basics. Rebuilt with promise of good times to come,

 

[bump_r]

ya i fixed it.

Thanks, man.

I just wanted to shut him up

You're not the first, definitley not the last!

but its not worth it..
Thanks

Nope, it's not. Just view it for the entertainment value and move on. You did, as you will see in your travels, throw the gauntlet - he just responded as most here expected him to.

Space - You're in rare form in this thread, ya done good!

Back under my rock, carry on.

matt... ya don't have to just start thread after thread to fit in... trust me... on any forum you ever go to... when you are a new guy, and start throwin' up old topics thinkin' you are doin' the forum some justice... won't really go anywhere. It will always turn in to a pissin' match between you and the guys that have been around on the board for a long time.

Should they/I just ignore the newbie posts, and just go on our way. We should... key word there is "Should"... But no... it's impossible. It's like being addicted to crack. You have to read them...

A lot of people think that when they come here and start the "Which super cool, freakin' amazing saw do you guys love" threads... and then they get some flack... just don't understand.

I'm all for discussion... but just starting a thread to start a thread is pointless... It's like all the "I found a super cool, freakin' amzing saw on Craigslist/Ebay for everybody... just doin' my part." threads... they only take up space and really do nothing for anybody. Have a few people bought saws that way? I'm sure there have... but I would trust buyin' a saw out of the Tradin' Post here and other forums where I know people, than before I would buy a saw on a whim on ebay from a post I read...

You can post whatever you want... but just remember... just because you think it's a cool topic, and are enthusiastic about it... don't mean everybody else will... Just a grain of salt...

Jump in... join the discussions, contribute, rant, rave, laugh, poke fun, get mad, praise, agree, disagree, but most of all... have thick skin my friend...

Merry Christmas mang...

I understand when i serched i didint finde anythign on this but was later informed of a few thet were very similar.
I realy wanted to know what saws wer good and bad or liked the most because i buy new used saws soem to rebuild and if their are 5 peopel who say onley good things on a saw ill type that saw in and get one of them instead of somethign peopel genaeraly dont like.
Thanks Gary i do add my .02 cents or ask questions on relevent topic but soemtiems cant finde it. Ill try to keep new general threads down.

Ah, grasshopper, the harder you squeeze a palm of sand, the less you grasp.

Now, will that take you two beers or three to not make sense of?
