Why not run down to Madsens or up north to Woods Logging

Madsens in Centralia/Chehalis is the Ultimate Chainsaw Toy Store
They are HUGE, just about anything that you can think of, Except Husqvarna's absolute Bad Boy the 3120XP, was about the only thing that wasn't on the shelf.
If you do want the Ultimate Husqvarna, Dave "The Chainsaw Guy" up in Black Creek BC, is an AS Member, and last I saw, he was still selling the 3120XP for $1399.00(USD) SHIPPED,
I can personally vouch for Dave, I bought my 3120XP from him, and I would buy from him again without ant Hesitation. I believe several other AS members have bought from him as well.

ps. Daves $1399.00 price shipped for the 3120XP is PHO (Power Head Only), but he can set you up with a B&C as well if you need, I bought mine for Milling and have several B&C's .

I’m in Woodinville/Duval and about ready to list a 288xp .....super strong, KS Cylinder, short top.
Big enough ?
Lots of wood to try it out..... send PM if interested.

I've heard Good things about the 288XP's, but then all the original 200 series saws(NOT to be confused with the current 240) have a Great reputation.
My 266XP made a Husky believer out of me, I'm Never parting with that saw.

Depends on what you use it for as well. What are you using it for?

It's an 87cc saw, and a very highly regarded one.

Better question is how long of a bar and what type of work?

I have to cut up a huge pile of logs the earthers worker made when he cleared my land so I could build...I bought a 550xp to maintain the land having never run a saw before and quickly realized 50cc is kind of small. So I'm thinking I can either pay a guy or buy a saw....the wood I am after is like 24"d

What length of bar are you running now? 24” firewood I don’t see a bigger saw needed, just need to learn a bucking technique. No oversized wood with a short bar I’ll look for the pressure if there is none I’ll start from the top of the log and walk the tip to the far side saw in till I can reach through from the near side, then release the bottom so I don’t slab or the top and finish the cut to release without pinch.

Looks like fun!
A 288 and a 550XP would be a fine two-saw plan and would likely last you ten years or more with careful maintenance.
As Skeans mentions, that whole pile could be take care of with your 550XP if you want to invest in one longer bar and chain, such as an 18" (if that's not what the saw came equipped with).
I wouldn't think twice about zipping up that whole pile with a 550XP.
