    Here's one of my 7900... pay no attention to the 288xp and ported MS261 in the background...

    3/8 chain will be faster and all around better on the 555. No reason at all to run .325 or low pro.

    Awesome!!! I'd love to have one of these, but I've got too much $$$ in my Dolmar.

    We had a pretty bad storm over the summer. 80 mph winds. I was rolling like this for a couple weeks. That's the trunk of my suburban.

    Nice 2100. I ran one of those a couple months ago and really liked it. Those are just good strong saws.

    image.jpg Just got done putting the 028wb together was my grandpas it will be going up on the was in the shop. The others are a 262-288lite & a 395, I love my 288 had it for 14 years and not one problem but it might be time to go through it , I was thinking about sending it to wicked works to get a little more out of it. I need a reliable saw as I do a lot of wood every year I just can't believe that it has lasted this long.
