    Thought about it Have too many trailers.. literally can go 1 mile down street and grab corded one:picard:

    It’s a tough life I lead (this is an appreciation not a complaint) I have a few really Good friends!

    Example I have access to 75 hp JD tractor with cab and forks. So my 55 Hp Kubota still has pinned bucket. Cause it’s easier to get JD then pay to SSQL
    put on mine..

    Good friends are life blessing!!

    plus if I bought it all where would we store it:hair:

    I wonder if it's just that some operators suck or expect too much. Maybe even treat them badly or are quick to condemn because they are clones. I do expect that the finish and durability of an OEM saw is better so does that mean the clone is junk because it's not the same as OEM but still very good?

    I could never have justified the price of an OEM pro saw so I'm happy to have the option of a clone even if it isn't quite as great.

    Not really, if you watch some of the utube saw guys that mess with aftermarket parts, they will tell you to buy 10 carbs as 1 of the 10 is likely to be good. The cylinder plating stories go on for days.

    I’m not saying all aftermarket stuff is junk, I’ve had zero issues with the 162/66/266/268/272 aftermarket offerings, (gaskets, seals, fuel lines, ect) but they are not saws I have to stand behind like porters do, as they are mine and if I sell one I’ll disclose said aftermarket parts to the buyer.
