McCulloch Pro Mac 850 for milling

[Bardo]

Would a McCulloch Pro Mac 850 make a good milling saw? I can get one that is running with a 36" bar for $150.

There are better saws for milling, but buy it anyway, they are a highly desired McCulloch.

I should mention my biggest saw is a Stihl MS362 that I have been using. I have only milled a little and like it so I don't want to keep using the MS362 and kill it.

Some important parts for the 82cc Macs are NLA and very expensive. It would be better to find a bigger and newer saw, even another stihl.

Oh No, another Stihl. The Mac gods haved spoken.

Randy's right, you need to be able to get parts. You'd be better off finding something newer that you can still get parts for.

ok, thanks guys.

Buy it and someone will pop up with a trade for you.

What is one worth?

In very nice condition, $300-500 bucks, they have a cult following like the SP125s.
