Well I needed to cut up this piece of cottonwood that I scrounged about 5 months ago and that meant it was time to get the Husqvarna 2100 CD. It has a 42 " bar and the chain is skip square ground. What a pleasure to use.
The Husqvarna 2100 series saws were popular for modifying. This one I have has only had the muffler opened up on it. I bought it from an aborist in Cheyenne that had retired and it was just sitting around in his garage on the floor. I think he just wanted to get rid of it. He had a huge bar for it about 60" long but he wanted more for the bar than he did for the saw. So I only bought the saw.
i got one a few years ago from a CL add. $50 for a new Carlton 32” and matching skip chain. Neither used. Saw was free because it wouldn’t start. Seals were blown. Replaced with seals for a 288xp. Love it! Don’t run it enough.
I have had this saw for about 7 or 8 years now. I have used it for milling and the firewood box next to the stove, is ash that I milled with the 2100.
A 2100 is certainly a beast. They were very popular here in Oregon. Lots of them still around in the area where I live. Too much saw for firewood use, I would really like to find a nice 281xp or meebe 288 those were great also
