WANTED Turnkey Top-handle Saw

[computeruser]

I’m looking for an inexpensive turnkey, ready to run top handle either PHO or with a 12” bar. Looking for something that is smaller/lighter and can be used for smaller trim work, for making brush piles, and for breaking stuff down before going in the chipper. Years ago I had good luck with the 3000/3400 series Echos, but the 271 seems interesting, too. Not stuck on those models, though. Echo is fine, Dolmar is fine, Husqvarna is fine, Stihl is fine but I don’t want/need a 200/201 for what I want it to do.

Figured I would ask here before I buy new, even though my last couple attempts at buying a used top handle saw from the other forum produced used saws that ultimately cost more than a new one would have when all was said and done. I am NOT looking to do that again.

Shipping will be to 48823. Thanks!!

Muffler opened and 6° timing advance and they cut real well for what they are.

I've got a cs-3000 on the shelf that I haven't looked at yet Brandon. Bought it off the elderly neighbors before they moved to town. How urgent is your need?

Looks like I have some solutions. Thanks!

Did you buy the 192T?

 

[ayoungtexan]

Most likely, as I was looking at the listed ad. By the time I got there the saw was sold.

They don’t get much love on the forums but 15 minutes worth of mods and a good tune they ran well.

Yup, bought the 192, might pick up the 3000 for old time's sake once it is up and running.

I just snagged this one up a couple weeks ago, the boy will probably get to run it.
Timing advance and MM certainly make them rev quicker.
Seasoned black locust, you know how it cuts!
