I was surprised by how much louder and thirstier the 288 was over the 361 - but then I guess the 361 still has the factory anemic exhaust choker in it. I haven't modified a thing on it... Initially...

How do you find the 251? After the 'professional' type saws, they seem a little plasticky and lacking in go for me. Guess they get the job done though... Lots of options in the mid range / big...

The concrete saw version of that electronic setup didn't and doesn't seem to be the success that the chainsaw has been. My experience of the concrete saw really clouded me against the electronic...

Given that a professional saw needs to run hard for 9-10 months, 5 days a week doing 10 hour days before it needs a piston and rings, and be consigned to the role of a back up saw by a hard as nails...

There's a young Kiwi forestry guy running a YT channel that did a review on those worked 500i's. Life of a Bushman is his channel

Not that it really needs it, but if you ever get the chance to have a play with a worked 500i, it’ll blow your mind. Ported, polished, air filter mod, bark box etc, they are a beast. Not really a...
