sold 18 of them, havn't worked on one yet..

Wehave a 270CQS. The crew likes the saw. The other day one of the guys had trouble keeping the chain tight, I suspect that he just wanted to screw off.

If it was me buying the saw, I might have gone wiyth the 280. More power and i believe it is a little lighter.

280

Finally got one, but no chance to try it out. The 270 owners are very pleased with the power and smoothness.
