good deal 260's are real good saws imo.

I have always thought those 757's look weird with that big air cleaner. Nice find on the saws.

Congrats on the purchase! You'll soon buy more.


Who wants another saw??? Me me me!!!

:byebye:

Both saws have way to much bar on them, for really good performance - that is all I want to say! :msp_sneaky:

They hardly balance well, with that huge "tumor" on their back!

Nice Snag!!

260's are always a solid bet.

And as noted, Saws wearing a Fez are fun too!

Stay safe!

I have a friend that has a 757 and it will cut right next to 70cc saws from stihl or husqvarna. Look ugly as hell, but run good. i keep trying to get it from him and do a bit of a mm i think it would really wake up then.

reminds me of some of the larger huskys opcorn:

Don't listen to anything negative about the 757. I run mine with a 30" bar and skip chain...starts great, runs great, cuts great! It balances as well as one would expect with the longer bar - nose heavy. I occasionally run it with a 20" bar, but keep the 30" on it most all the time for the larger stuff around here. The air filtration on it is great.

The HD filter doesn't add enough weight to create a balance problem,,, What they look like is another issue entirely and a matter of opinion which most will agree they look a bit funny.

I've not run a lot of "big" saws but did give one of mine a pretty good work out with a 32" bar and full comp and it did fine by me. I normally run 24" on mine but did put 20" on it once just to see what it would do. Cut fine, but I've got other saws to use with a 20" bar.

After you give the Shindaiwa a whirl, I'd be interested in knowing what you think.

I don't think they're all that ugly when you put them in their natural habitat

Did you get a good or great deal?
