I added a footnote to my posting. For non harley buffs, knucklehead is a type of harley motor....Wanted to clarify my reference.

So she was all for me buying this saw, although she sometimes thinks I am a knucklehead.
 
Another "new" gutless dog! One step forward and 2 back. That dealer......he's a "Dam good" salesman!......Hahahahahahaha!

That the hip thing these days, accessorizing....right?

The third pic was 50 inch Cannon and 41 inch ES. Too dark now, but tonight I'll see if I need to add any links to the 156 dl chain I spun for the 3120 and take it to the woods tomorrow.

Did they punch in a 3/8 tip on that 41 ES, or was it "in stock"?

Thats very very funny.....

They order all their Cannon bars with 3/8 (even really long ones, I think), and the ES bars come .404. So they swapped me tips on the ES.

wow


after reading this story for what seems like forever and then some ...
ill share a little of what i have learned.
there were originally 2 saws to choose from.
the 880 and a 3120.
i sell huskies so i was hoping for the husky at first,after a few chapters of the SAGA i was getting ready to quit selling saws and run away to a place with no trees.
eventually i was hoping the dealer would make the situation right .
glad it turned out okay.
BUT
there was mention of a 3120k which is a cutoff saw designed for concrete work.
well the cats out of the bag...the 3120 cutoff saw is history and has been upsized and replaced and moved to the has been box with all the other good old saws.
only bad thing is they shouldnt have let it die a painfull death with a limited carb and coil,kinda feel sorry for it in a way.
wont be long now and the 3120xp chainsaw will be gone to and the new and improved saw will step up to the plate in all its glory to be named the king of the woods.
hmmm ...
should i tell what saw it is...
Chris
 
well if the new cutoff saw is any indication of whats to come in chainsaws.
you and everyone will be standing in a big line for a...
PARTNER.
yup 120cc partner in a pretty orange package.
well actually dont know what the color of the chainsaw will be .
the pics of the cutoff saw are black an white.
the husky based cutoff saws have been "gone " for a couple months.
only stock in our end of the world is the partner based units.
suppose to be leaner and cleaner if you can beleive that.
should be a real interesting story from here on eh

So.. did you ditch that skip chain and get something more suitable for the saw? (hint .. has more cutters).

I can see it now.. saw bounches off limiter at 12,300... Bill can't live with it, takes it back ;)

The real question is - do you have enough big wood to put 6-10 tanks though it to break it in this year?

I have one month....Maybe I can start cutiting down alders in the back and cutting them up the long way..

Already tached it at the store (learned my lesson there, should have done it with the new 3120.....). She'll never see 12,300 on my watch...

You know, I spaced out on getting some full comp .063 square while there. I knew there was more I should have gotten while there.....a couple long loops.

Actually I expect the skip to work well on the 880 on the bigger bars. I would expect the 880 to pull the 41 like my 066 pulls the 32 (smallest bar it's ever run) - like crazy. Sad little 066 will probably never get to run the 42 again now that the 880 has moved into the roost.

It's been an interesting saga so far. I would have really like the 3120 if it's nads weren't so clipped. I think it gets a bum rap, exept for that. Have your heard about the new 3125Xp non rev limited with adjustable HS jet? Pretty amazing....
