I'm running a couple of crews cutting 220 kilometers of brush lines up here in Alaska and am having some issues with a couple of our saws. We started out using 290's, but brought in 211s after realizing that the smaller lighter saws were more than adequate for the alders and willow brush we're encountering. Or so we thought. Two out of our three 211s are now out of commission with broken upper right AV springs. I'm not quite ready to say its a manufacturing defect since these saws have been running 7-8 hours a day for the past month straight, but both failing in the same spot does raise an eyebrow. Anybody else seen this happen? Are my guys being too hard on the saws? Are we asking too much out of a homeowner grade saw? Suggestions for a saw that might hold up a little better? Maybe the 200 rear handle?
Thanks
