Just another junk chainsaw

[xyz123]

I should have took this maple out 25-30 years ago. Now it has become a worry with the power wire, transformer pole and guide wire.

4 of 5 down. Need to top the 5th one as it is bad leaner and will easily catch power wire. I'm not skilled enough to swing it other way.

Heck the 4th one dropped got me on that and got lucky.

When ever I get healed up. I am going to cut the bigger logs to my cant stand length for saw testers.

Be careful out there when you get tired. Caught one to the ribs bad and sent me flying. Can hear what I think are bones cartilage popping when I move.

Echo 490 was a trooper, I could hear it running somewhere behind me. I could only just lay there and was trying to tell wife to go shut it off.

Using the Fabcorp 359 and the base delete 359 with mm I got in trade toward my 670 Champ with some other stuff. Never got a chance to test that new 359 out to see how she runs. Just went trough it and fixed some antivibe issues.

Gotta watch those tees, they hurt.
Heal quick, you have saws waiting for you

So impressed with the new member of my tag team. That echo 2511 rear handle with nano 325 043 nk set up throws some dang chips as a limber.
Used for 12" under there was no stopping it on the multiple truck maple 5.

Used the hack ported 490 with front and rear 501 handles. No vibrations felt like the plastic crap did.
Running the stock 18" with 23RS the new stuff.

The 2511's are just unreal! I have been hearing many tree companies are moving to them now.

Have you ran one next to your 2511 clone? If so, thoughts?

Not same set ups though. 325 043 nano is fast and smooth. 1/4" mini micro isnt fast but is super smooth.

The 2511 clone is open port and stock little pipe on open muffler. The oem 2511 closed port has that Egan pipe for like 28% gain alone beside chain.
But if clone was set up same it would be real close.

Heck was close enough as I use clone for pruning right now.

Clones are just not refined and $130 compared to $500 too.

I will be buying a rear handle clone when released. They said still coming.

People need to quit supporting China made stuff and buy domestic if possible. I'm sure however that the Chink stuff will go way up in price, very soon...lol

My old Silvey grinder and my Stihl USG sure wasnt China made.

I can buy my silvey back right now if I had a use for square chain again.

Yeah, what he said. I don't post here much because I have nothing to contribute; but enjoy reading this thread.

Watch yourself, you seldom get a 2nd chance. You just used #1.

I completely agree. I go to great extent to not buy anything made in China. I don't always find made in USA like I want. But nearly anything outside of China has benefits to me.
