Well..cant make up my mind between a Husqy 268xp or a 272xp. I would like to stay under 80cc, and i wont need to run anything bigger then a 28" long bar at the max. Only thing I'll use it for is for some felling and bucking of the larger woods. Any ideas? My main saws i work with are a 137 with 16"bar, and a 51 with a 20" bar , and they work great for de-limbin and most of the smaller stuff. But i would like to speed up the process a wee bit with some more power. Weight is a big concern for me. And of course i cant afford anything new, but a good used saw would do. Any info or ideas? And iam really only looking at Husqvarna.. nothin bad against stihl or the others..its just the brand i prefer and always have good luck with.
Lookin for another

Since both of those saws have been discontinued for a long time I would take the best of either one that comes your way!!!

Well i only do this for my own Campfire wood and such.. that or someone wants to get rid of some trees for free, or a farmer decides to have a grove dozerd down.. so i dont do this everday, and actually only get the saws going maybe 5-6 times a year.. and yes i do have some antiques... Clinton d-65 super.. Jonsered 51e.. but i would rather buy a good used saw that has been proven for reliability

Well I Like The Antique Saws As Some Like To Call Them. Im Working On A Jonsered 630 With A 272 Jug (with A Compression Release).there Good Saws In My Opinion. I Would Go With The Later 272 With The Compression Release Myself. It Shouldnt Be That Hard To Find. If You Can Find One In Good Shape You Will Love It.
