Speaking of.. How many arms did you fit in to the wife's van?

Nada....no time, and it wasn't in the cards yesterday, on the way home. We were in the SF Bay Area pretty much the entire time, and my family was my priority.

I'd buy a 365 OE given the opportunity .

This guy is not playing

That’s a stock 660 with a 36” hardnose bar.

Plenty of the trees here will give you rashes that will send you to the medics.
He's humping up and down these mountains with a 660 on his back.

Haven’t found any great saws yet but there still time.

Mebbe you should sneak home an Echo CS-1201?

 

[Stevetheboatguy]

Soooooo....... What did you find available over there? I may have to do the same thing. I have a brother that hops all over the world. I may have to have him send me a 272 or three or four.

Same in Norway. It’s called a sword. “Sverd” is the Norwegian way of spelling it.

Svecus sven (death by the sword)
Svensen (son of a swordsman)
I aint Nordic, but I gots a GSP from germany. And he sure is a regal viking,
kill the men , rape the women, eat their food and on to the nxt village.

My last name is Svendsen. I’m about as Nordic as they get. Lol

Last time I was in Colombia, I didn't see any Husky saws, just Stihl. Pretty good prices on them with the exchange rate but I didn't buy any.
In Brazil, I also saw only Stihl saws. Granted I was in the Amazon area and other regions likely have different brands. The MS650 seemed to be more popular than the MS660. Maybe because of cost? I likely won't be going back to either of those countries as I'm in a different line of work now. My Colombian coffee stash is still holding up though.

After reading this thread, I looked up Husqvarna-Mexico and they still have 281XPs and 365's. My brother is US government contractor and he spends a lot of time down in Mexico. So, I may have him go check out how much they are.

Nice I wonder if Husqvarna has a store right across the border.

 

[SteveinUT]

I'm sure, but good luck surviving long enough in a border town to get one! I just noticed on the US Husqvarna page that the 365 is still listed. I haven't seen a 365 at my local Husqvarna dealer ever. I thought they had been discontinued in the US. The 281 is the one I'm most interested in anyway.

You ain't a *s-wordten about that.

I think you should be able to mail order one. They let all that crap from China over here that is labeled 25:1.

Yeah, but unfortunately, Stihl isn't selling the 281XP, regardless of country. My brother is in Frankfurt, Germany for another month, so I told him to take a look at some MS462's for me while he's there.

Surely if tens of millions of people can make it across the border with a bail of drugs on their back, surely a few chainsaws should be a peice of cake. Lol I'm kinda digging that new 61 dot dot dot

 

[FergusonTO35]

I can't imagine it would be a problem just to order one directly from a non-USA dealer as long as they were willing to ship it. I seriously doubt customs is going to be checking for a chain brake and smog sticker unless you were bringing in shipping containers full of them.

 

[Dub11]

I got it figured put guys we all pool together order a truck load of these saw and just saw they are going to be used a modern art exhibit.
