Put a MM on the 039 and it will put a smack-down on a 036, but will still be .75lb heavier.
I have inherited these 2 saws and was wanting opnions on which to keep? I cut roughly 6 cords a year for home heating, I have an 038 magnum I keep for bigger stuff but am having a tough time choosing between the 2, any thoughts?
Thanks,Rick
It is not a super, just the 034 AV, I was using an 028 super, but it was always bogging down in the Hedge and Oak I was cutting, I got lucky with these, I also got an 039, but it seems a little to heavy for an everyday saw.
It is just a straight mangnum, and I love that saw. Can you upgrade the 034 to an 036 P&Cyl. if and when the time comes? If so I think that will be my best bet just to keep the 034.
How much lighter is the 034 than the 038 mag? I've also got an 038 mag, and it's a pig, so I usually try to pair it up with something small and light (026pro). I feel like the 034 might not be a very big step down in weight reduction, for sacrificing almost one pony in power. If the 028 super failed to impress, I'm not sure the 034 is the cure...
Sell em' both and get what you want!
It also requires shaving some fins on the cylinder.
