So I have been thinking about it and id really like a 70cc saw now for 350$ or less I can get a husqvarna. I'd love an 038 magnum but those saws demand a price. I consider myself a stihl guy but I cut wood for a save money on propane.
The only reason I would not buy a 272 is the outboard clutch.
i would undercut my cc's and get an 036 before a POS 038 lol keep an eye out for an 044 or newer saw and you will be much happier in the long run. if your a stihl guy, don't let a couple bucks stop you from getting what you want. pick empties roadside if you have to lol
If you see one, don't discount a Dolmar 120si. In my opinion its a better saw than both the 038 and the 272. I actually prefer using my 120 over my Husky 372xp and it blows the doors off my 268xp. Usually cheaper, if a little harder to get. 272 is a very reliable and easy to work on saw however and always worth grabbing.
What is the reasoning on that?
If I had 400$ cash and walked up to a table with a 272 or 044 sitting there for sale I wouldn't look twice I'd grab the stihl and walk away. Lol
