Hey all, looking for opinions on a 70cc class saw. I have a budget of around $600 at this time and can buy a new 2166 for less than that. I am wanting to run a 24" bar. Bring on the comments.
 
Yep, a 2166 for under $600. Good deal.

If you don't go that route, the Dolmar 6400 is under $600 new and you can have a 60cc saw, 70cc saw, and 90cc saw all in one.

My next saw will be a Makita/Dolamar 6400!!

I have one with 18 " bar and very fast cuts :rock:, very happy for now :D
also plan to go to 24 " + muffler mod ..
 
I have the 365xt which is the 2166 in Husky colors. They are a nice saw stock but can be made much stronger without too much work. Mine is no longer stock and is much stronger now. I believe Terry could get the orange or red and black model either one.
 
I can make the same type of deals for a Husqvarna now too. I have both saws in stock. for an extra $50 I will make the 2166 or the 365 into the full flowing 2172/372 version. shop where ever you want to and youll find that unless your buying one at cost you cant find a better price.
 
That's a pretty good deal there. That's a well spent $50! Prob be hard pressed to find a better deal.

I wish I waited and got the 550 over the 2253. I like Orange better than Red ;) Still haven't used it, but had the money and wanted it now :) Compulsive buying! Gotta Love/Hate it ;)
 
I have a Ported 2166 that Terry did. Best value in a ported 70cc saw. Do yourself a favor and just buy it already ported from Terry and you will not be sorry, Great saw and lots of power. Should be perfect with a 24" bar.
