On a more serious note I will never buy or accept another mcculloch.

That sounds like a good place to start

Yeah I was iffy about it cause I wasn't impressed the 610 which was a free to me if I fixed it thing so I did lol but damn that things heavy under powered I really didn't like how the handle connects to tha carburetor just kinda blah uknow but from everything I've read on them everyone else had the same to say it's nothin special at all but you can't kill it they'll just keep on kickin and he'll it doesn't matter how nice something I'd if it's not reliable it's trash so I keep it idk maybe this little saw will be alright to

I have one of those too, and I find it to also be a good saw although I know others disagree. Yes they are heavy but that's the only real flaw - they have A/V and chain brakes, make good power and hold up well. The McCulloch engineers knew some things about 2 stroke engines. This is 55cc and pulls and oils that 24" bar well:

I just don't like the way mcculloch does things I've torn into several saws and I always find myself questioning the mccullochs

The newer McCullochs are that way, I prefer to mess with the older ones like the 10-10. These newer ones I pass by at the sales.. I did manage to buy a rather nice PM605 last Saturday, really good running saw but only has a 16" bar and chain. I kinda prefer a 20" on these saws because they have enough grunt to pull them with no trouble..

Is a husky 300xp zero cc's or 100 cc's?

 

[a. palmer jr.]

Once the tree is on the ground those Mac 610 saws are great for cutting it up because of their weight and torque. Same with the older Homelites and Poulans...

I felt great when I sold my Mac 610 for $50, I prefer the 10-10 series macs.

 

[a. palmer jr.]

Mac 610 and 650 saws were selling kinda high on 'the bay for a couple of years. I think it's cooled off a little now but chainsaws have in general not been selling as well as they have, at least there..

 

[Mac 6-10]

you have two of the least favorable Macs out there. Get a PM 800/805/850 or SP 80/81. Then write a thread bashing McCulloch.

I always liked the 10-10 but without A/V it's a not something I'd consider now.

 

[a. palmer jr.]

I actually like the 610. You can buy them for cheap at yard sales and flea markets and they still do the job..

 

[Mac 6-10]

general consensus. But to say you dislike a whole brand when your experience is limited to the extreme homeowner saws?

 

[HuskStihl]

Just be glad it wasn't an Echo!

 

[Mac 6-10]

ouch!... Can't beat Echo reliability. No one can deny that.

If you make something really heavy, with a minimal amount of power, it will definitely last a long time!

I'm just kidding, BTW

I suspect the issue is that there is no Husqvarna 300XP.
