    How did I just find this forum? and so many familiar names from AS?

    I just threw my Snellerized 372XP on craigslist down here in Lima yesterday, its been a great addition for a larger firewood saw, but its time for something slightly bigger.

    Yep. I ran it for almost 3 hours today. I got invited to a "cutting" for a friend. So my Son and me went over and we got almost 4 cord in the 2 hours we were there (not split, just rounds in the trailer).

    This saw sounds NASTY!! I have had numerous Husq and two 372's. This 2171 is a beast and sounds like no other saw.

    Love it... Literally love it... Now I need a nasty 2153 :dex: lol


    Pic after I got home... I took the 261 and the 2171.. The 2 other guys had an 028 and a MS 290. Both of them chit when that 2171 started. They both said it sounded like a 125 cc dirt bike.

    Thanks bryanr2

    (I have the full wrap, but didn't have time after the invite today to put it on). It will be on by the end of the weekend )

    That saw has been around. I swapped that p/c on there on my tailgate at Paul's place he cuts at.

    If you like the 7910 option a 6400 I think would fit the bill for you and there a lot cheaper new.
