That poor Stihl 88 tho.......

Just awful .

A mate got one of those for $1000 when his cousin finished his forestry course but kept failing his drug test so chose another line of work. It hadn't had much use either . I think some of the cheap 661s that turn up on trademe might have similar backstories.

A few years ago that was definitely the case up here, Pawn shops full of 365 Specials.

So I see the TradeMe fun police have had that poor Stihl 88 removed from auction.

Must have been concerned that someone would get hurt if it got used to make a NZ version of that pommy downhill cheese race, coz that's the only way I see that saw gaining any inertia ever again.

@Cat 525

This is a blown up thumbnail of the saw in question. NZ regs don't allow a chainsaw to be sold without an operational chainbrake and our largest online auction site polices that policy aggressively.This poor things chainbrake is a fair way down the list of things to do.

That'll buff right out .

There was more chance of this running but they didn't yank it despite no brake,

I've got one of those somewhere, well straight 242 to be honest. Never really thought about it again after i got a 346 OE. All revs, no pull.

@raumati01 see that poor fulla got his 181 de-listed twice despite you warning him!

Yep, he even made up a cardboard chainbrake for it the second time around and it still got yanked.
