It finally happened!

the Bermster went to America and got a new saw!
Luckily I had to cross the pond for my brother's wedding in Colorado, so it was an excuse to buy a saw for WAAAAYYY less than here!
Ably assisted by a certain Boston tree climber who is very Bullish....the deed was done.
Now, can I claim the ranks of the pro saw owner, does this one count? (never mind I'm a pro anyway :) Bore cuts, pah, I can blast through in one now! Look out PNW...er, maybe not!

Thanks AS, how bad is it when we travel 100's of miles for a saw!!:heart::blob2:

Nice saw! Do they let you just walk into Bermuda with a new saw, or did you have to pay their share too?

:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

I use a 13" only on the 339xp, but 20" is a bit much for optinum balance on the 361........

Yup, I'll be careful, thanks everyone.
I had to pay about $90 in customs duty, but I STILL saved around $600 versus buying it here.
No submarine Urb., just a damn great airyoplane!
Yes Troll it is a wee bit nose heavy, I'll experiment with the 18", but I did want a 20" for those just bit bigger jobs.
Here are some pics of a poinciana I dismantled with nothing bigger than a 290 18"...too tedious by half.

(yes the guy in one picture is wearing a motorcycle helmet, he was on his way to work!)

Mine also came with a 20" and feels fine. I recently picked up a 16" and like it when in the brush. The extra clearance feels a little safer for limbing and the saw likes it too!

Yes, an extra 16" bar would round out the package, to a really good allround one........:biggrinbounce2:
