wickedwoodsaws ported saws... Thinking on buying one

[Kozak Logging]

I am considering buying a saw from wickedwoodsaws, I'm debating on either a stock cs2188 or a ported cs2172. I want a saw that has crazy power, but don't want the weight. He has a 90 day warranty on the ported saws. I'm a little skeptical on that I guess. Normally the saws have a two year warranty. For that amount of money though I would think I would get a little better than 90 days. But I understand its ported/modded. Has anybody ran one of his saws? How was your experience? I want everybody's input if possible.

You mean Wicked Work Saw http://www.wickedworksaw.com/ Terry's a good guy

Stay close to home. You won't go wrong with a saw from Scott @TreeMonkey! And he goes above and beyond to take care of his customers!!!

Kozak, you should have no reservations with either of the above mentioned builders. Terry and Scott both have excellent reputations. Service and repair would likely be easier through Scott since he is in your area, but by no means should you take that to mean that Terry should no longer be considered. Talk to both of them and go with whomever better meets your needs.

YUP! As Randy said months... maybe years ago (can't recall when- just what he said) "Scott has forgotten more about saws than most will ever know." That statement says a lot in my book. Go with Scott.

Reason I picked Randy is bc I appreciated that he shared his work on here, and he was within driving distance. 40 saws later, I have no regrets, and a great friend. Go with Scott.

The ability to try before you buy... no brainer there.

Scott has done a great job on the saws that I sent to him for my customers..

Lots of great options and great people here but I would go as local as I could if it were me. best of luck to you my friend. I have been wanting a 2188 pretty badly myself.

I just got off the phone with scott. LOL 1 1/2 hours later... I'm kinda siding with a Stihl 461 ported. I was really leaning with the 2172, but I guess from what I read and what scott told me they have a ton of outter crank bearing issues, and by all means... I don't feel like spending a ton of money to have a failure.

 

[Adirondackstihl]

461 is a great choice!!!!
I love mine

 

[Kozak Logging]

I'm gonna have to buy a bigger saw now that you have the 461 lol just kidding.

 

[lwhaples]

Keep us posted,hope to hear how you like your new saw.

Randy is 100 miles from me. Ive driven the route so much that it just feels like a few minutes now. In truth, the last 5 miles on that goat path they call a road is the longest part.
