Or sale.....
Husqvarna 285CD Runs great.

I'd trade for a 550XP, 562XP, 346XP, MS261, MS361......

Or sale for 400.00 shipped with a 28" bar and square ground chain.

So that what XP stands for! I was totally wrong. Did you "massage" this any?

 

[Mastermind]

Nope, she is all stock.

 

[Mastermind]

I would port it if the right trade was offered....

 

[Mastermind]

No love for the big Husky?

How bout a minty ms 290 and some cash? Lol I know how much everyone on here loves the 290's. If the saw is still for sale after I get this farm boss sold I will pm you.

I probably would, but I've got a minty MS390 sitting on the shelf already.

Randy...

Is there a reason you don't like the 285CD?

 

[Mastermind]

No, I think it's a great saw. I've just got too many saws.......

I figured it would sell quick to be honest.

 

[7oaks]

Okay, I've got one I inherited and like but I seldom use as I have so many others in the same size range. Thanks for the response. I was just curious.

 

[Mastermind]

It's a damn strong runner.......just a bit heavy for me.

So you should have her little sister too.

They're great saws...........................they just live in the shadow of their 6ci brothers (1100CD, 2100CD, 298XP, 2101XP). Same size/weight..........and a bit less power. That hinders sales. They're still STRONG saws however.

Now a fellow could always pick this saw up (and enjoy it as-is for a while), and then 'upgrade' it to 6ci if they land an good 1100-2101 P/C sometime down the road. Then the saw'd basically be a 298XP (a 2100/2101 without the manual oiler).

 

[Mastermind]

I'd almost rather not have the manual oiler. They are prone to leak fuel into the oil tank, and can be tough to get stopped.

If a fellow's running a 32" or shorter bar on these saws then the MO isn't really needed. I like having the MO for the longer bars, and when doing long cuts in hard/dirty wood (keep your mind out of the gutter). Plus, I'm used to older saws that have MO's, and big saws without 'em just don't feel "right". The leaks can be frustrating, but they're usually solved with new o-rings.

 

[Mastermind]

The "right" o-rings have been hard to find for me Aaron.....

 

[Eccentric]

Ah.........

Norm and I have a Husky dealer near us who can get them for us (or stocks 'em).

 

[Mastermind]

Send us a few?

 

[HuskStihl]

Send us a few?

My precious....

 

[Mastermind]

We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitses. Wicked, tricksy, false!
