    I fear that gas chainsaws are falling victim to the environmental crowd. I noticed that gas chainsaws, especially in the consumer group are becoming less advertised, at least up here. They seem to be getting a little scarce in department/building stores, even the Stihl and Husqvarna seasonal flyers only list a couple gas chainsaws (well probably like 4 or 5 but certainly less than they used to) but in sharp contrast, gobs of battery powered equipment - saws leaf blowers, trimmers etc. At this rate, in a few years, I may be able to sell my 455 Rancher for a thousand bucks or so. :whistle:

    Finally got the 32" bar on the G288 and worked on the big Maple out back. Ran 4 tanks of gas through the G288, 2 tanks through the 357 and one tank through the MS250.

    Some chips from the cut in the video.

    Not sure how some of those chips are wider than the chain??? That was the first cut on a freshly square filed chain.

    Tons of good firestarter material laying there. You just need some wax.

    Starting to get on with this one better now. I consider myself to be a finesse cutter. This one likes to be ran hard.

    It didn’t take long to touch up the full skip chain after cutting 3 logs. I brushed the logs prior to cutting, but I still saw some sparks. You can’t get all the debris out of deep furrowed bark.
    FYI it’s got a fairly new x cut chain and I didn’t have to tighten it :saw: As I was pulling it around to sharpen I was thinking it’s a tad tighter than I like to run a chain.

    Since you have a 371xp have you had a chance to run a 572xp ?
    If you did did you really notice a difference between the two saws
