I’d say it’s unlikely to come across a 288 in my neck of the woods. In fact I’ve never seen one for saleYou can’t buy new husky saws there. The 288 has more power than the 266/268 and it’s a tad larger but it’s a animal too.

I’m unsure about that. I’ve never looked into it to be honest!Can you mail order one from Europe?
Mac 700 or 7-10
Yes they are, everybody who ran my 700 liked it, including several women cutters.Wicked saws
If you get a well ported 372, I doubt you'd regret it. And you won't need a 90cc saw much either. They balance well, have the best AV, and will easily pull and oil a 36" all bar all day if needed.I’m unsure about that. I’ve never looked into it to be honest!
I would rather buy second hand from someone on this site that is vouched for though (assuming they ship).
Then again, maybe I should just start looking for ported 372’s!

Give these guys a call to check if it’s for real, Makita Dcs 9010 for $1200 shipped.
Almost half the price of a 661.

If you do a search on Dcs7900 you’ll find quite a few places do the for $1450.00
I know we all have different perspective...
If you're gonna work a saw buy one you can run down the street and get a part for.
You have a good point.
If you were in this position where do you think you’d land mate?
If you posted it I didn't read it yet...who has the biggest dealer presence around you ?

Not sure where you are in Australia, but Tony is in Victoria NSW and knows his stuff. I bet he can even hook you up with a good rebuild or a screamer if you want.
He cuts what you’ll be cutting and would be a valuable source for opinions. Also honest as the day is long.
Just sayin.
Im thinking Australia is a lot like canada where i live.
Sparsely populated and not a ton of big saws for sale.
Keep your eyes open and Im sure you'll find something.
That’s right, There’s heaps of 40cc stuff available but not much big stuff!
