Never got a chance to mill been cutting timber for people.Been taking down some willows (poplars next) for a mate over past weekends - horrible trees, leaning all over the show and had the odd spot of rot for extra surprise. Chinese saw handled it well with 24 inch bar. It’s not a light sabre but certainly does the job.
Now has been in bits a few times as I had a couple of hiccups and it now wears a hyway bb with pop up along with new carb boot, echo hoses and tank valve. Have a 380cd piston coming that I may try to fettle with if it fits - wanted to try something different. Will probably try a new carb also, this one seems hard to find and hold a tune but that could be my sausage fingers in fiddly bits. Cheap entertainment and quite addictive
Sounds like my situation. I needed a much bigger saw to cut big Ozzie hardwood. No way was I going to pay for Stihl/Husky around A$2,000 to do the job.
This one suprised me they just released a 372xt figured a 268/272 or 288 would've come along.Wow, that's a much bigger gap in price between the clones and the real thing than we see here in the US. Here it's 3-4 times the price but you guys are almost 10 times the cost for the OEM saw? Clones ought to be mighty popular down there.
especially if he's getting his fancy 70cc beat by a cheap chinese 70cc.

Wonder if the xt will hold up as well as my oe clones
Mine vibrate a bit more than oem
With a heavier piston it may be really noticible.
I wouldn't call a BB cheating. A well modified BB should get the embarrassment you seek.OK, I admit it, I cheat. I use a 77cc cheap big bore kit that I have ported to flow like a 77cc engine. A muffler mod, filter and a carb mod - and it runs like a strong 77cc engine from the major manufacturers. Carb mods can make a big difference in low end torque.
Don't tell anyone, the price of these clones have been going up since we started modding them...
