A ported 2172 would definitely be a good saw for a 24" bar.
The 2250 should be a good home owner saw. I think it replaced the 2150 which was a good saw.
If I was buying a Jonsered about that size, I believe I would get the 2252. It is the size of the 2250, but has power similar to the 2255 and it a...
Mastermind has done a 50cc in john deere colors and an 80cc in the olemac version. The efco saws have been produced under several names including...
Whoever get this saw will get a nice one. I have the Husky version and it is one of my favorite saws to run.
All the Efco saws I have run have been good running saws. I have only seen 2 or 3 dealers in the area I live in and they didn't last very long. I...
For the OP, there is a used 044 in the classified that would be a nice larger saw.
If you decide on the 362, you might want to try some skip chain when you run the 25" bar. I use the jgx oregon chain on a 24" bar on my 65cc saw...
Which MM saw are you looking at?
Nice shirt! Saws not bad either.
After MM get through with your saw, you may decide to keep it.
I am liking the 2252 more and more. If the wood gets too big for the 50cc, the 562 is mighty nice. I still like noodling with the 2165 or 2171 or...
Let us know how you like it.
Mastermind is about 250 miles from Michie, TN.
The 361 you did for Bowtie was a good one.
You will like that saw when Terry gets done with it.
The 576at that Randy ported for Termite on AS was a very strong runner.
Most of the saws I have run when I go to GTGs have been ported. If you have stocks saws with you very few people want to run them unless they are...
They are fun to run, but when I am cutting wood by myself, the stock saws I have do just fine.
I have the 562 which is very similar to the 2260 and it is a good runner. I have run a couple of ported 562 saws and a couple of 2260 ported saws...
