whats the appeal of the 2100?

[kf_tree]

just curious why there's alot of 2100's passing around. are they worth picking up, or are they just too out dated? i already have 3 395's so would a 2100 just be a dissapointment? or should i just hold out for a 3120?

They are some big ass powerfull refers with handle bars!

 

[Rancher]

They also have an automatic and a manual oiler, which is a nice feature when milling.

 

[DirtTroll]

They are a nice milling machine for a reasonable price.

Steve here... Had two 2100's, sold em on Ebay last year here's a pic of me blasting thru a hard maple I dumped two years ago. This saw was bone stock. I was running 3/8 063 chisel chain that I square ground. These old saws have big power, like the 090. It actually was faster in little wood than my 090av. I have a Homelite 750 now too... Cuts like a dream has av. I see theres a nice one on Ebay right now. I'd take the 750 over the 2100 for cuttin wood anyday.

dont know much about homies except the 1050. That was a heavy bastard!

There is much you do not know, if you could be more specific in your questions in general and this in particular, you might even learn what you want.
This Homedelight Z4lunch show is one of the best saws made, ever.

 

[056kid]

I will not argue with you on that, but i will be more specific in saying. I have not run many homelights, but i do know the 1050 is heavy. Seemingly more so than McCullochs of that era.

 

[SawTroll]

Was this tread meant to be about Husky 2100 or Homelite 2100??? :alien:

 

[rivahrat]

good question. boath good saws however

 

[Mange]

The intent was probably Hva, but not specifically.

As a note of interest,regarding the so called "heaviness"of the older Macs and Homeys,bear in mind that there is less than 1 pound difference in the 2130 Husky,088 Stihl,Super 125 Mac and 2100 Homey.With regard to how they cut,it's a matter of perception,they all cut real good,all are very zesty.I have only ever seen several 2100 Huskys,because they are not a popular brand in these parts.The owners liked them and 100 cc's,is rather large,in anyones book,and would handle about any length of chain-bar combne should also keep in mind that any saw above 5 cu inch is going to have some weight behind it,as compared to those in the 4 to 4.5 cu in range,it just goes with the turf,so to speak.These big behemoths have their place,I guess it's up to the owners how they are used.

 

[Marky Mark]

Are you asking about the Husky 2100 Ken or the Homelite. Husky's are runners. Homies are for Baby's right Z4Lunch :blush: Give me a call we have to get the plans ready for the Bafoon fest out west.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Those old homelites no slouches either.

 

[Marky Mark]

Those old homelites no slouches either.

I don't think so.

 

[clearance]

Don't even talk about Huskys and Homelites in the same sentence. Like talking about Cadilacs and Hyundais, apples and oranges. Homelite=Homo-lite. 2100 saws are old now but still a killer machine. 2100s were used to fall and buck billions of feet of old growth here for years and years, 70s into the late 80s. The westcoast fallers loved them, heavy, but powerfull and dependable.
