man dont even go thear the 335 xpt are junk thats it had 5 of them you no the oilers
Stepped in what? Me thinks you've done had a few to drink. I guess you should go back and read my posts. Yes, I've ported a 200T, and I also told you I haven't ported any other tophandle saws. I was less than impressed with the porting results on the 200T, and will not port them for anyone else. BTW, they're a piece of cake to work on, not hard at all. The only other top handle I've had was a Redmax 3500. I modded the muffler, sold it to a tree guy, and the loved it. And they used 200Ts too. They were quite impressed with it.
YUP! We are on the same page now!
So for giggles, say you were to port a 338, what would that cost, just a ballpark guesstamate? What would you REALISTICALLY think you could make in gains, hard to do I know since you haven't done one. But 15-20% you think?
Maybe someone can chime in with the price of the 335 or 338, which ever is the better one, and I'll look up the stock specs and we can see what the gains would total vs. the cost?
I'm genuinely curious about this. Might even have to get me a Husky top handle to port and find out.
Sorry I took you wrong. And I wasn't implying you should read all of my posts, lol. I was talking about a post earlier in this thread. My point with porting the 200T, is that they don't leave you anything to work with, not that it's maxed out for a 35cc saw. There's just nothing really there to work with in skirt width and ring end locations. I've ported several 35-40cc chainsaws that will cut circles around a 200T. But stock for stock, they're great running little saws. And we all know, that's how the majority of users run their saws. That's just not my perspective though.
Come on guys, lay off the 335XPT until I get dad's going again and SOLD!!!
TT
No worries, there's plenty of guys on e-bay who will pay top dollar for it.
Sorry TT, not trying to bash it at all!
Of all those saws that will run circles around the 200T, which ones have you had hanging from a tree saddle all day long???
.
I really think what he's trying to say is that there's a hell of a difference between cutting cookies in front of a camera with a saw than putting 10 hours a day every day 120 feet up making a living with one. At least that's what I getting. And speaking of personal attacks, drunk, bi-polar,,, Geeez It sounds like to me that you have been hitting the eggnog a little early.What does that have to do with this discussion? Why do you so often have to resort to personal attacks in a discusion to make your point? Then you turn around and behave yourself for a while, then you're back at the attachs again? Are you drunk, bi-polar, or what?
JJ - I know RbTree (Roger) had some 335's and seemed to like him, but I can honestly say I haven't seen many others that thought too much of them. Do you know if any of his were ported?
