They say you can choose you're friends, but you can't choose your neighbours or relatives, but you always tell them to GFT's. Lol.

Gypo, you can always tell a timber faller but you can't tell him much.

What's so much better about a 288xp vs a 390xp? Wondering if anybody has had both to compare and give an idea why the 288xp is worth 50% more money.
Serious question, I have both and should sell one, but have run neither.

I prefer the 288 just my preference

Randy and I had this conversation last time I visited. "The 2 series saws are rugged and bulletproof" (Randy's words). Ive had both. Both ported. The 390xp is smoother and makes more rpm. The 288 has butt loads of torque and an exhaust note that is unparalleled amongst saws. I like the unrefined rawness of the 288 over the 390xp.

I haven't ran a 390, but one advantage I see with it is age. You can still find and order parts for the 288, but I can see that is gonna be getting harder! One good thing with the 288 is that it shares crank seals, bearings and other parts with its newer brothers.

They make those trucks every day. They no longer make 288's (except in Malaysia or brazil or whatever
). A duramax would be sweet, but the thought of a NIB 288 is truly boner-inspiring 
. I am poor so i have to speculate and live vicariously through guys like you that i wish would just buy this thing.After buying my first new truck I'm broke for awhile . believe me I'm even searching for side work to buy this saw. The economy sucks right now where I liveThey make those trucks every day. They no longer make 288's (except in Malaysia or brazil or whatever
