Compared my 288XP to MS660 on some pin oak

[Jeffbecky1]

The 288 was fast with a 25" bar. The 660 was strong with the 32" bar. This was the first time I had ever run a 288XP. It made me smile!

Hows the weight compare between the two saws?
Huskys are heavier?

Pin oak is some dense wood, if I remember right it is the densest of the oak family. Takes a long time to dry out but makes amazing firewood.

I cut a fair bit of pin oak. Almost need to split it "one more time". It burns pretty long so the smaller wood doesn't just burn up. I leave maple and gum fairly real big on comparison

Actually pin oak (really willow oak in LA) isn't near as dense as live oak. Live oak is harder than Osage orange. Both of those are harder than Hickory.

at least you got a echo in case your arm is to tired to start one of the 660's

My 660 will tire you fast... Been having carb issues and it makes it hard to deal with. Lol
