SELLING 288 XP.

[farminkarman]

Everyone likes the new *s-word. Till it breaks. I’ll stick with my carb saws. Is the new 592 awesome. That it is. Will it last and be as easy to fix as the 288. Never ever.

I’m a 394/395 fan myself. The 288 is a well made rig for sure

There aren’t any actual men left…

Nope the majority has man buns and want all plastic saws,so they don't hurt their fragile little backs and build any muscle.too much muscle and they squish their cup of latte.

Some have a business to run and money to make and don't have time to play chainsaws either.

I remember thinking 288's were cool because everyone said they were awesome....then I ran a couple of them.

First one I ran was one I built from parts BGD. Grunty, not fast. 36” skip felling no prob. Loved it. Ran a stock 281. Big meh. Stock 288 meh. BGD again. Likey. One @Crocky28 ported seems pretty good, just gotta fix the plug threads.

That's a different tractor, a faster one - an XS=@huskihl 461...with dull semichisel on it from eating dry dirty eucalyptus.

I have no interest in becoming the new thread repair man. I’d have you do it ‘cept it wouldn’t make sense with me having the stuff to.

 

[davidwyby]

I actually prefer a steel insert but this one had been inserted twice already badly.

A lot of us have dated a girl like that.

You say that like fat chicks and mopeds aren’t fun.

That lathe might be a little overkill to cut squish bands on.

Big squish bands

I just happened to have the pic handy

The steady rest looks heavier than my whole lathe.
