new to site, chainsaw reviews

[Pablo26]

I keep starting to type in frustration then think:notrolls2:

 

[RED-85-Z51]

Id rather have an old torque monster with a big bar and some 404 or some good 3/8 with the Depth gauges filled back (or off altogether :hmm3grin2orange: )...

Take advantage of the low chain speed, and huge grunt and let it dig in and take as big a bite as possible..

 

[Justsaws]

Use your Dad's saws all day. The next day use yours. Then decide. My guess is your Dad's saws will not get much use the day after yours. I have over 300 older saws and they are neat, but new saws are easier, usually faster, almost always quieter, and much safer. Progress might feel cheaper but is progress none the less.

But Progress is not always Forward Progress....

Are you thinking what I am thinking

I'm thinking what sort of idiot puts down the money on two brand new saws without trying either of them out first? Unless he bought them sight unseen online...or ???

 

[TooTall999]

Well, sounds like it is high time to do some side-by-side comparisons, doesn't it? Or at the very least to put some damned gas in your 575 and run it.

2171 question....

So why can johsered make the 2171, and husky can't make the 372?...I still see the 2171 at my dealer, but no longer the 372? Are they basically the same saw as far as engine specs and emissions?? Where is the johnsered 575?

They make 372's This is yet another topic that has been dicussed in length.Have you even tried your 575 yet danp76? Why don't you go out and try it rather than fret about whether or not everyone else likes it?

 

[Marco]

progress on saws being useable seems to have slowed down in the last 10 years, with the last 5 spent on trying to get them to blow rose petals out the exhaust

Jonsered doesn't make the Jonsered 2171, Husky does, and they still make the 372xp for several markets also........


I believe Jred has enough EPA credit in the US from the sales of other models with cats - it is really a question of prorities......

 

[PES+]

Whelp.....

The 575 DOES have a Zama carb:notrolls2:

Im the type, I guess.
I've bought saws online, knowing that the only way to REALLY know how they run is to spend hours with them.

Those I didn't really like, I sold, and moved on.
No big deal.
If I had hired somebody to cut all the wood for me that I've cut myself, I'd be out all the money, and have no saws.
Not to mention all the fun I've had!! :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[Like The Woods!]

Do you think that danp76 is the Sap trying to make an end run...so to speak?....elbow nudge, :notrolls2: elbow nudge.....

My 372xpg, made 2006, has a Walbro.

The 346xp originally had Walbro, it changed to Zama in 2003, or so......

I merged a bunch of Dan's posts into this one thread, it's easier for us to watch that way. Yes, he might be a newb, and maybe he does things a little different than everyone else, but that isn't against the rules. It is against the rules for guys to be taking shots at him.

So, I ask here that danp try and keep his similar or redundant questions in this thread or if a different topic in another thread and not to post new threads that are basically covering the same topics and I'll also ask everyone else to get off his back. If you think he's trollin, just ignore him, if you want to help him, fine do that. But anymore of the derogatory comments will be hit with infractions.

 

[SawTroll]

Good move, imo.
