    Heading to pick up the only 7310 I could find within 50 miles of me. All the dealers say "backordered with no ETA in sight". The Sweet One finally got onboard last night, as we loaded the last split of our sell wood into the trailer. I went with the 28" bar, knowing that my primary set-up will be 24" and the 28" will be waiting for me. Might go bigtime and get a Sugi bar. What say thee ?

    I’m a hell yes to putting shiny bling bars on new saws. Never used a Sugi, but I have a 28” tsumura that is holding up well. I heard the new Husqvarna light bars are Sughi bars.
    Congrats on the new saw!

    Sugi's really hold up well. Very little need for rail dressing. While they aren't much lighter, if at all, they are worth the buy-in IMO.

    Nice saw! Bet it gives you years of satisfaction. :saw:

    My 450 feels like a toy. I’m super pumped to get through the first few tanks and for it to wake up fully. Now I tell my tree service guy I have no size limit. Noodling is now a real option !

    I love my 7310. Im ashamed to say that I don't even have 8 tanks through it yet.
    I got a 28" bar for mine as well. Seems like a great combo IMO. Makes my timberwolf seem like the fisher price saw my sons had when they were wee little.

    That's a beauty there for sure! Good quality machine & way under rated imo. Run it!

    Tank #2 is almost empty. Once I fill up again, no holding back. I’ll run it like I borrowed it ! HAHAHA
