Under 10,000 on a modern saw is ridiculous. Husky either needs to make the 3120 right or take it out of their line. Seems like they're taking a sharp turn downhill the last few years.
 
The truth is probably everyone should have an 880 in addition to any other saws, regardless. The hoss, as TH calls it.

Not to beat a dead horse, until you run one it's hard to realize how slow that really is.
 
B_Turner, Do you know if the demo saw has the same coil
as you'rs?

Would the demo saw be a little bit older saw?
 
Heard back from TH tonight (from last week). Says to by the 880. Hates the 3120. too slow.

Another person told me:

"Put a coil in it out of a 272 that should bring it to life. The 272 coil that works best is the one with the green wire."

Don't know if that would work on the newest 3120.

Sure... even if it did... buy the most expensive saw they make then spend more on a new coil (and flywheel). It's being limited for a reason, and it's not just EPA. Let's be generous and call it "afterthought engineering".

Good question,I've wondered about that. I am now thinking that it was the same setup, but with everything going on (all the unfamiliar saws, etc) I really didn't notice how it was on the limiter all the time. I'm not sure....

But once I got home and put it to wood I noticed immediately. And now it drives me bonkers.

Funny how much you learn within minutes of owning something that you never quite realized before. Cars, tools, etc. I'll leave it there. (Cause that goes both ways.)

You can add 2500lbs Bridgeport mill to my list... "I so much wated to buy one.. so I did", then another... hmm that's 5000lb. At least in my case I can get nearly $500 for scrap. lololol
