How good and reliable are the 3120’s

[motolife313]

Seen a guy sells them on here new for 1399$. The ms880 is like 2200-2400$ I think. At that price I think I’d be interested in a new badass saw. They look a little boxy but if they are reliable and start good I’d be very interested id probably sell my 075 and put about 600$-700 or so Towards a 3120. Are the easy to work and start as a stihl Also how about reliable? Thank you

I’ve been watching this hoping to see some responses. Really surprised there hasn’t been any.

I had a 3120xp on a log truck about 15 years ago that I used, I don't recall any problems with it except I had to replace the muffler once because the ground crew guys were careless with it and busted the muffler on a log or something. The saw always started and ran easy, never ran the big Stihl to compare it against.

My brother's got an older one with the fully adjustable carb, it works quite well and really shines with a 42 inch bar on it.

Kinda weird how husky says they recommend up to a 42” bar but stihl says the 880 can handle a 59”bar. I found another thread about these saws and there were a lot of guys liking the 3120. I do like adjustable carbs for sure. Thanks for the replies!
