    It's been awile .....but happy to get a saw or two coming my way ! This one last night thanks to Old040 ! Very nice lil Husqvarna 242. Never had one...but now I know I've been missing out. Very nice high revver ! And not too bad for bucking up 8 to 10 inchers ! I like it. Light....very handy . Cuts alot like my old Dolmar 350...cept the Husky seems lighter ;). Thanks again old040 :) IMG_20151030_111242631_HDR.jpg IMG_20151030_103001402.jpg

    Very nice looking saw.

    I've heard that those are great little limbers.

    Thanks :). Still have the 590 Timberwolf. My ex girlfriend bought the 271T off me to help me out a few months ago.

    Great limbers indeed ! Also good at bucking up smaller stuff. Saw is so light and handy.....extends the amount of time one can spend in the woods. And on a nice fall day like that......I'll take it :)

    Agreed, on all counts.

    I was thinking about the ideal 2 Series three saw plan.......242.....262.....288...

    We know 'Fuzz will love to be back up to three saws... Buuuuut.... That means someone else is down one saw..... But hey, a two saw plan is still gooder!

    HoneyFuzz since you have a 40cc Husqvarna, and a 60cc Echo, I think it would be best to keep your future three saw plan eclectic, and add a Dolmar 7900 for varieties sake.
