Sell the 2100xp or keep?

[truckieL29]

Ok so FWIW I don't post regularly here but i browse a ton.

I burn wood and drop prob 30-40 trees a year plus take care of storm damage etc, I'm pretty well versed with saws etc.

I have a very very low hour husqvarna 2100xp (one of the cleanest I've ever seen) that is my baby- I have run maybe 3/4 of a gallon of turbo blue in the past 5 years in it, run it very fat on stihl HP ultra, have the original husqvarna 24" hardnose bar in great shape.

I'm needing a good saw to cut my bigger stuff with and I am scared to use my husky as I feel it's more of a museum piece than a daily cutter. I'm looking for a good pro 80cc saw that is newer so I don't mind "leaning" on her more. I'm looking at an echo CS800P and porting it and dropping the base gasket. I don't want or need a racing saw but want a reliable good cutting saw. I'm also thinking with the money left over I can upgrade my mid range saws.

I'm actually liking the echo lineup this year (15/16) with the features and quality for the price. Husqvarna and stihl are asking so much for so little of a saw now I'm just not impressed. I'm also liking the dolmars too. My good friend has a 5100 and it's a real cutter for its size!

Please I'm open to all advice!

Chainsaws are meant to be run. You own one of the best big saws ever made, why not use it? Big dual port huskies are made for torque, lean on it all you want, it won't break. If you really want to sell it, there are a bunch of 394's for sale right now, which will be a better stumper (I'm assuming that's what you need it for) than an echo 800 no matter how you port it (not echo bashing).

How much are you thinking it is worth???

I have one and run it once in a while, are parts hard to find??

Keep it and run it. That's what their made for.
