    It's running Picco chain? That's crazy. Didn't know Oregon made a 28" bar for Picco/low-pro but even if they do, that's the most ridiculous setup I've ever seen on a 50cc saw. Even for the PNW.

    I want to know what oiler is running on that disaster? There's more to getting a big bar on that power head than making it fit.....

    Might be good for someone 7'+ tall who wants a limb saw tho. :rofl: :lol:

    That is a stretch, even around here where he is. PS3 is Picco (low profile) chain. That is on a standard Oregon 3/8 bar, as they do not make a Logosol style Stihl large mount Picco bar. So he must have filed the nose sprocket down to get it to fit.

    That is posted by TarzanZipLines, near me in Oregon. Same guy that has had the "Museum Quality" 090 for sale on Ebay like, forever. That guy builds insanely dumb saws and puts them up for sale for really high prices. Most of their sales are rope and climbing gear. He sells a lot of PS3 Picco loops as well. They do their business out of their suburban home.

    Here is the 090 he has had for sale for over a year now... no takers?

    I love that it says, and I quote "This saw chain combo has never been available to the public." Hmmmm I wonder why that would be :rofl: :lol:

    He must have been inspired by this one I posted many years ago on another defunct site of my ported 026 with a 32 inch B&C... no, I never rain it with this setup, I only put it on for the photos

    Feel the raw power!

    You need to put some 5 point oversized dawgs on it to be a true west coaster.

    But that is not a top handle 192. The 192 comes in 2 versions, like the 200/201. The regular back handle saw which that one is, and the 192T model top handle saw whish is different. The C model is the 'east start' version.

    Never mind nose heavy. Any wood on that length of bar and it will just bog. That is full comp. Picco has a narrower kerf than 3/8 as well, and that size bar is going to pinch like mad in any cut. The guy is selling novelty saws? I dunno. Seems dangerous. I went by there once out of curiosity, and they do not have any bucket trucks or chippers there. Its just a typical suburban house, and they are selling out of their garage. He seems to be targeting overseas markets in his posts, as well as unsuspecting novice cutters. Anyone points him out to Stihl, and they will stop selling him saws. They frown heavily on re-shipping saws overseas, as well as modifications like that. They stopped selling large mount Picco bars in the US after people were putting them on larger saws for milling. Same with Logosol, you cannot buy their narrow kerf bars for large mounts Stihl in the US any more either. They still sell them overseas though.

    Yah, I have a large pair of 066 dawgs that I should have put on that 026 for that photo. I did not think of adding them at the time.

    I got ya. U did not look that close. And also know there is no way your cutting wood that bar length with that saw. I don't see anyone buying. Those saws?? A novice would not down $700 on an internet saw?? Are they even ported??

    Oh and do you want to sell those 660 dogs? I need an inner for that 650 I got.
