And we said the 339xp was a weird looking one...

I saw that they made a 262XP like that too.....

 

[SawTroll]

Yes, such handles are pretty popular in Russia......

That must be the Husky model intended for large breasted women! The only thing worse than getting a tit in the ringer is getting one in a saw. JJ

Cool!

This replaced the 262 in the lineup and is not made in Russia as the 262 was, but it is partly assembled there.
It is a bit diffrent design, but needed!

In the parts of Russia were these saws are most popular there is no other saws that can be used.
They dig snow away around the tree so saw can be lowered, spikes in and turn.
If there was a gay in the hole while cutting, not many trees would be felled/logger....

This way he can stay on top of the snow in fresh air.

Druzba and Ural has been very well used in these parts and to sell any other brand of saw at all there, this was the only way.
Adapt to market!

Imagine showing up at a GTG in the states with one of those saws!

Very similar to this russian design.

That's cool. I want to convert my 371 to those style handles.............NOT!

I don't understand how you can cut with any degree of accuracy if you're cutting down in a hole dug around the tree.

Here it is.


Might be fun to try for ripping a log in half?

[DougNH]

When you're not cutting, does it double as a motor assist for your dogsled?

 

[MR4WD]

Sweet. It's got the a jungle muffler too! I understand that it pivots sideways etc... But why?

It works just fine.

Spikes in the trunk and just turn. No harder than turning steering wheel on a bike...

Would LOVE to see some photos of something like this in use.

That is all you Troll, would look good in your hands.

It pivots sideways for the felling.

 

[Roy M]

I dunno, it must work but sure looks awkward.

Forestryworks posted a link about a month ago in the froestry and logging forum and it shows N. Koreans using those saws to fall timber in Russia.

It used to be main saw in Soviet Union. Long ago I saw a small movie about logging in USSR. They used these Druzbas (Druzba=friendship, if I remember correctly) and Ural's (Urals=mountains in Russia) mainly for felling and bucking, as limbing would be too much pain in the ...head - that was done with saws and axes. As I know Ural is more powerful than Druzba - don't know how much, but Druzba is like 4 HP in 11kg(24Lbs).
