Something you aren’t happy with or have had laying around and want to get rid of bad enough to let it go for like 100$ but also the thing won’t try kill me and **** would be cool. Doubtful about it but why not.

Got one here runs fine 191T. New dealer tagged top handlebar sitting next to it, also. Mine needs a front AV mount rubber, nbd. These saw are interesting but lack torque, rpm and are heavy. Long bar on a built one in west coast cedar or east coast white, maybe it goes better.Interested in a 191T project? Largest cc top handle ever released by Stihl I've been told. I've got a parts saw, new oems plastics for nearly everything, 2 new oem top end kits, and just a big stash of parts I've accumulated over the years. Always thought I'd take a rainy Saturday and put it all together, but still haven't. I'd probably want about $200 plus the ride if you're interested.
I went to a store and husq makes one for like 350 I think he saidI own a "chainsaw" chainsaw. And a proyama zenoah 2500 copy too.
They both rip, balance nicely, run predictably and consistently and so far show no sign of not being excellent tools. I have over 30 tanks through the proyama and maybe 5 or 6 thru the "chainsaw". Proyama operates like an ope company and seem knowledgeable in correspondence, while the chainsaw chainsaw outfit that I bought from on amazon doesn't, really. In fact, it's kinda bad that all the pics of the chainsaw chainsaw that I've seen have the chain on backwards. Whatever, I figured I should put it on the right way anyway.
They both run about the same and can pull a buried bar no problem, in some wood even levering with the dawgs. There are some small differences. The fit and finish of the proyama is a little better, it has slightly bigger fuel and oil tanks, the trigger feels a bit better to me, it might vibrate a little less?, but for about 50 bucks less, I'd take the "chainsaw" as it is very close, overall. Oh, and the "chainsaw" has a spring assist starter and an always-on rocker kill button (don't really like that). I got the chainsaw chainsaw that has the two piece clutch cover ("improved" it says in the description?) , which is one of the reasons I chose the proyama in the first place.
They are my first and only top handles and are just the handiest little things. They fit on the off-side top step of my main chore tractor, which is what I bought the first one for (the proyama). I can run around my hayfields cleaning deadfall from the treed edges in the spring and invariably there are more deadfalls to clear when I'm cutting hay.
I've dropped a few 16" trees with them, no problem. I'm still working on lining up my felling cuts, cause these top handle saws are unnatural to me, but getting better..
If I was using a top-handle saw daily I would be buying a name brand saw for 4-6 times more money. But I don't, so I can't justify that. Based on the way these copies balance and run I'm not sure that I would be more satisfied with a name brand saw anyway.. these copies are shockingly competent for 25cc.
Oh, and these chinese chains come sharp from the factory. Go figure.
In case you wanted to know...
Two at best?Huh. So you can buy 4 zenoah copies for the price of the cheapest husky. Go figure.
I bought a husqy lolI would also suggest one like I have. It's not that I am not happy with mine, I just got a big saw, and am one of those kind of guys who will sometimes let a saw got for what I have into it.
An Echo CS3000---- $150 + shipping
I am gathering that this is the one you meant you bought. If I may ask, what Model please?I went to a store and husq makes one for like 350 I think he said
Those go for about $389 in my neck of the woods. It should be a good unit for you. My little Echo is a good saw but just $200+ cheaper, and likely one I will keep so I can have at least 1-2 Top handle saws at all times.Husqy t435
