288xp good runner, solid but not the prettiest.(pics. look a little better than actual) plastics have some discoloring. Bought this saw in June to see what the hype was all about and i love this saw except for the outboard clutch.

Scribed "forrestry" on top cover and bottom of tank from previous owner (see pics.) PHO.
$460 plus actual shipping paypal f&f or add 4%

I love the way this saw runs and the thumping idle is just so sweet.... I start it up and just let it idle sometimes
I just can't get over the outboard clutch.

this is so tempting ! If I was not going to pick up my 440R today I would replace mine!

Sold locally. Funny had it on Craigslist for weeks then as soon I put it here a local guy wants it.

You should have kept that saw.
The outboard clutch of the 2 series run cooler than the inboard clutch saws on the pto side. Way cooler,also its not torqueing on the end of the crank. Longbar saw lasts longer w/ less torque(drag) on the crank.
I have 4 2series, you get use to the clutch. My neighbor cant stand em either tho, never bothered me abit.

Well? Were you impressed w/the power in such a compact platform?

experience with the 288 for someone that has yet to run one?

 

[heartwoodlover1001]

Is it a saw to just have? From those that are or have seem like a righteous saw to have in the arsenal

 

[danimal]

It surly is.. cult following for a reason..

 

[mdavlee]

288 sound awesome. Good power. With that said I've sold 8 or 9 of them. I have one again and may turn it into a 5 cube race saw at 81cc. If not I'm sure it will go down the road.

 

[heartwoodlover1001]

That is what I have heard about the saw. Plain and simple that it is just a pretty mean machine.

 

[riverrat2]

yes even stock they perform very well,,, I'm just glad I didn't see this one before it became spoken for!!!!

I love my Rattler ported one

 

[jk14]

Yep 288's have a huge following for a reason just a solid and strong running saw stock or ported. A 288 won't dissapoint.
