    I have more than 45 years with working on saws in my shop. I have three 272xp's that are my own, and two 260xp's. I have worked on all models including Sthil for some reason I have found that a good Huskey is hard to beat. Any questions fell free to ask me. And thank you for letting me be part of The Firewood Hoarder Club.

    2 series are my favorites, had a 261 turned into a 262xp and ported from Rattler for my dad, he loves it

    Welcome aboard Stumper :handshake:, dustinwilt68 :handshake:, and Czed!
    I bought a 266SE from HoneyFuzz, a great member here:yes:
    I loved that saw, ran like a raped ape....he loved and missed it, so I sold it back to him:thumbs:
    One day, maybe one day....I'll buy it back from him!:D
    It was a runnin' cutter for sure!:)

    Jd87, that's a very nice collection of 272xp. Since tou have so many, can you point out the good and bad on the model for me? This is the 1st 272xp for me, curious what others opinions are on them.
