    288 XtraPower by Mastermind

    rbtree - Yes, I checked out your pics of the ITCC on ********. Nice stuff. I had to work and could not make it to Portland. I surf the posts on TB for all the climbing posts. Here is where the real chainsaw talk goes down! I got the YOUTUBE page after buying my first smartphone... It is the...

    288 XtraPower by Mastermind

    Randy is right... this saw needs something bigger to cut. How 'bout this Cottonwood? I was only hired to trim this 8 1/2 ft diameter tree... if you look close - you'll see my 200T on the ground!

    201T Weres the power?

    Yes, the "800hrs" was a little joke. Someone told me that is how many hrs they had before their 201 "woke up". He must work 200 hrs per week... :)

    201T Weres the power?

    Yes, just 800 hrs of use - it "wakes up"... Or send it to B Snelling and let him fix it.

    288 XtraPower by Mastermind Saw Works - YouTube Mastermind Saw Works (re)built my 288 XP hightop saw recently. Finally found a tree big enough to sink into... Randy put new crank seals, rings, carb kit, etc to give it new life. Rubbed his foredom in the piston too. It has been hot in the...

    What saw is the best? Husky, Stihl, McCulloch, Homelite, Echo, Pioneer, Dolmar?

    West Coast is done eating dinner and begining to vote... I voted Stihl for my 200T and the 440/460 Hybrid that Mastermind and Snelling must like too. :) But, I ran all Husky's for a number of years. Have kept a 372, 288xp, and 394. THE REASON I first went Husqvarna: My father came back...

    Inside the MS201T....With A Few Tweaks

    If I do the math from the above post... get 20 weeks of 8 hr per day use of saw. Now, I own like six of these saws, climb trees (4 days a week!) and just about floss my teeth with a 200T. But I can only figure I do 2 or 3 hrs per day with the top handle saw - that would take 66 weeks to get...

    New gen full-wrap handles now ready!

    Looks great and thank-you for making tools in America. Not an easy proposition these days. My only saws w/o a full wrap are 394/395. I will order a set when you get them ready. Your price is w/o argument and very fair, competitive. Keep up the good fight... (staying employed in our times!)

    Free 200t

    Score. I own five or six of them... the oldest one is 10 years young and beat hard everyday by our tree service professionals. The newest is still in the box, waiting to become my little friend ... As a tree climber, I wear a 200T like a good pair of underwear.
