"Baby" chainsaw

So I've been wanting to get a small saw for pruning trees in the yard, shortening splits that don't fit into the insert, or trimming along the edge of the fields. Was looking at the Echo CS-271 that Orschelns has and was going to pick one up when I got another load of feed for the chickens. I had to go into the local JD dealer to drop some paperwork off and found that they were clearing out this saw

 

Free? Clearing out?

 

Step 1, gut that muffler.
Step 2, re-tune.
Step 3, cut wood!

 

It was out the door for 250. I haven't run it a full tank yet, but cut a lot of ERC branches off for the goats to chew on.
I figured I would run a few tanks thru it then do a few mods to it.

I have a 341, been using it for a few years, good little saw. Enough power that I havent played with it, just incase they would actually stand by the 5year consumer warranty if something went bad.

 

I have a newer echo cs -330t and it really woke the saw up when i gutted the muffler and re tuned. Those little things rip with gutted mufflers

I still say we need a video so we can see if it sounds as good as it looks.

 

As soon as I can figure out how to post a video i will get one up. I'll try this evening

 

Well if you have any troubles I have a solution. Step one send saw to me step two I will do a full video and post it. Lol

 

Sounds like a fine solution to me
