how bout a old 880

Man, I'd love to give that a try, just to compare and contrast with my 660. I love my 660 when I'm in big Hedge, Mulberry, Oak, Locust or Hackleberry,... but I could just imagine the grunt that 880 would have. I do wonder how that would stack up against my MAC 35 or an old SP125 though,...

The 880 makes the 660's look like toys side by side.....

I took some saws out yesterday evening. We had a good time, and got a pickup full of wood.

Don't laugh at this saw, eight pin rim. 13" bar after deducting mount and spikes in 13" wood, it is the only bar I have that fits the P62. I'll get a long bar before long.

What brand (who's the manufacturer) is that P62? Never seen one like that. I may have an opportunity to pick up a slightly newer big saw that I think is actually a J-red, it's a Univent fire saw. I might actually be able to pick up two of them, (runner and non-runner) for about $50. I've only heard some opinions, but they seem like pretty burly saws for newer saws,...

yes an sp125, i run the 88 for 3 hr yesterday , i little sore .

It is a Pioneer/Partner P62.

What is the number on the J-red, they did make some nice saws.

I'm with you on the 125 but couldn't give that away if I found one.

 

[john taliaferro]

just took two more advill, ithrow my old 88 on the scales , youll change your mind after carrying it around the gtg fer an hour or two. was out in the shop weight is 58 lb mill and 60" cannon 7' long . gotta take it outside to turn it around ,Mike says he a little sore to

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Those big saws are for bucking only unless U need the bar length. my 2094 is for those times.

 

[Echo Kid]

im thinking about getting a olympyk 970 for 150.00

 

[jerrycmorrow]

if that's the one on ebay you better look at it again.

 

[Echo Kid]

never mind maybe 250 hay jerrycmorrow think its in good condition

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Looks like it. Might be a little bit more.

 

[RVALUE]

Drama?

 

[jerrycmorrow]

seller told me it pulled 120psi first pull and 140psi second pull. according to mtngun the filter system is less than desired and allows small pieces into the combustion chamber. should be a simple rebuild with new piston/rings. there's a good discussion on the 980 (similar to the 970) at http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/131413.htm
called Olympyk 980 Woods Port. got lots of good info. i'd like to have that saw but think it might have gotten too rich for me.

Not sure about the number yet, I've seen them a few times, but never paid a lot of attention to their specs. They look and feel like about an 80+CC sized unit though and have some heft to them,...
