I'd like to find a 291 for my brother to replace his problem child 028. He has no need for a saw that size but won't buy a small saw cause I guess it would make him feel less manly. Wish he would just buy my 490 so I could pick up a nice 40cc sawYou went from GAD to FAD lol.
Maybe I'm talking about myself now, cause I surely don't suffer from CAD.
Scrounged a box off the porch today today.

Nice. Let me know when you want to get the rest out of the swamp. After christmas may not be a bad time. I can walk to swamp for you and see if we can get any deer moving, then load up the wood. Also when is the massive white oak top down back on the agenda?
Heading out to do a little cutting in a bit.
I'm curious how my AT saw will run off the bat in 60 degree temps at sea level when it was last operated in 20 degree temps at 1300 feet.

Grab a couple spares from junk yard and you will be all set.
Yea, I hear the 572 runs just as well as the 462, and is only a little more than a pound heavier!

Yeah... I don't see an electric chainsaw in my future.
Short story long...
I will have that large maple to contend with next spring. In the interest of not making a ton of noise in the back yard all summer, I was considering that cheap Harbor Freight electric saw for the small stuff. It would be like $30 if I get it on sale and then add the 20% off coupon.
THEN
We did the last yard cleanup for the season which involved trimming the hedges. For that, I have an electric Black & Decker trimmer. HOLY CRAP was that power cord annoying. So annoying in fact that I looked at gas powered hedge trimmers. THEN the wife brought me back to earth - for the 1 time per year that I use it, it's not worth the $200+ for a gas trimmer. No big deal... I'll spend that $200 on a CS-310, or maybe add a few more $$ to it and get a CS-352.
I can remember when my smallest saw was a 70CC Homelite, now I have an MSA 170, lowdy I'm getting old and weak, Joe.
Harbor Freight $30 item is not a 'chainsaw', anymore that a cardboard box is a 'house'.
I'm down to maybe a dozen corded electric saws (not counting the battery ones).
Scrounged a lot of wood with them.

That old plug in saw only gets used beside the splitter for quick trimming. It saves time in that situation grab saw pull trigger make cut. I won't be picking up an esaw to work in the wood pile any time soon.

Can I get that on Android or just Apple?
So I can buy a 390xp lol. Not sure how that would work, but it just sounded right since I've got a few 372'sI wish he would buy your 490 also. So you could buy my 445. So I could buy a 550xp.

They say the 261 is lighter than the Husky 550, but I don't feel that when holding it, same with the 241, but I am a fan of those, but not because of how they feel in hand.
I think there is a lot of hype on both models, and even my post above in regards to it being a legend is me mocking husky. The more saws you run the fewer that have the wow factor, good thing I like to run them all

You're right about the power cord, big PIA. Because of that and the fact I only trim the hedges about twice a year, I found an old $20 Craftsman hedge trimmer on CL that only required a new plug and Fuel line. Way better than the electric!
