nothing wrong with the 394 norm, i made a lot of money falling with them, the 395 is our currant model and both are fine saws.
I did very well with the older 2100's as well but the later varients are nicer and more user friendly when falling full time.
Mind you, if i had run 066's and 084's or 088's i would of done ok as well.
Personaly i think the 395 is better again and should you get hold one you will not be dissapointed....
My 2100CD and 272XP both have K&N 's and nothing past the filter, 10-4
on chips no sawdust. keep them clean and oiled good to go

Glen, Frasier, nad Neil great stuff and thanks for sharing. I love all the saws mentioned. I do believe in saws for different purpose, maybe that is why I tell myself its ok to keep getting saws LOL! Got all but the 394-95
I will ad them when I can I promise. frasier I read a couple years back on an Aussie thread, fines coming through filter on redgum euc's. I know you and many others use K&N which I always thought would be good. Seems oz did not like them, can't remember. I am with you on the chip end, as my chains to are always sharp. They do well in redwood? Course you know Frasier it was all a scam just to see a pic of your saw again!:msp_razz:

2100's are really starting to have a hard time with some parts now.

Yeah, and if available not cheap LOL! That is why I am glad they built em to last. Though parts I a may feel still available but may be discontinued, I will try and stock pile. Been thinking much of this, and seals, some bearings etc, at thr right place I think can be crossed over, or made somewhere. If we could talk NWP, or bailey's into stuff like clutch covers etc some plastics. And a meteor cylinder and Piston we would be pretty well off. Hell they made such a comeback you would think somebody would do this:msp_rolleyes:
Yep! Norm you got it right I just talked to a Husqvarna Rep and they are all done making anything 2100-2101 as of now but others will soon pickup the slack if a comeback is going on, what I see like you said they made them to last well now is when the 20-25+ year old saw's are starting to need things, and its the little things that bring it all to a halt .

New school, Black one. But man nothing as smooth or has the feel. Think it made me talk myself out of lightweight bars, for myself. Fell in love thanks Mike! Great deal! Started out to be one of them days. Owner said a tree came across the road. Went to go down to cut it. Left my rig behind because we used bobs 4 wheel drive truck. Mine would not make it. Just grabbed the 660. Second cut tree bound up, and pinched the new cannon, hell no! If I had my truck down there all my gear and saws would be too. Son of a ....... Good thing Bob has a winch. Itt was almost cut through anyway. Pulled it the rest of the way.

Crap. Wish I could have gone up with you my friend. Next time...
All my cannons are old school now, LOL!! three rivet , I remember when the 42" and the 2100CD was new, it just don't seem that long ago
Cary
Best bars ever made in my opinion. The old generals might be the only bar that comes close to competing with them. When did the 2100CD come out late 80s or thereabouts??
About 87 I think, 2100 and bar, I'll need to run the numbers to be sure.

my 2100CD was made in 1983, Acres site lists first year of manufacture at 1975 and the 1100CD at 1973, the 2101 was built up until 1990, so 17 years of manufacture for the series.
