This is a NEW chainsaw that I have never used.

SHINDIAWA 757 MAGNUM - 74cc - 5.4hp

It was $879.99 plus TAX $62.40 = $942.39

SACRAFICE $575

More Powerful than STIHL MS440 HUSQVARNA 372xp JONSERED CS-2171 MAKITA 6421

To the person who has been flagging this listing please STOP. This is a legal ad as I am not a dealer. This is my personal chainsaw bought NEW and NEVER used. It is in NEW condition as the day I bought it NEW.

Shins are good saws. That's not too bad of a deal. Are you thinking of buying?
 
See some discussion on AS now and then. They are pretty good saws, as I recall.
 
I had an excavator guy who owned a few, he said they were good professional saws. I am more concerned about where you can have them serviced.
 
Local OPE dealer/saw shop sold them in the mid 90's.Pretty reliable from what I've heard.
 
Thats a great price for 75 cc saw, shindaiwa makes some great landscaping equipment. Ive never run there saw's thou.
Not sure if it's better then a ms440 or 372 xp. hese are 2 tried and true performers
 
+1 with John Boy. I recognize the name with landscaping tools but can't say I ever saw a CS by them. I like my husky
 
No, not thinking of buying. Just saw them on CL and thought I'd ask about em.
 
I wouldnt give two rats a$$ cents for a Shindiawa saw! I have a 488 and its the biggest piece of junk of the (6) I have. I have an old Mac 10-10 that I will use before this junk. You want a real saw, get a Stihl MS460.

What is that growing off the cover in front of the back handle a tumor??
 
Yep. Wouldn't matter how well it cut or lasted. That saw is butt ugly.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing.
If it were a hooker, she'd starve to death!
 
It's a pro grade saw that gets a bad name for looking like it belongs in a little car during the thanksgiving parade
 
That ad has been in many places. My guess is that is a knockoff. Don't know why someone would imitate a Shindaiwa or whatever it is, but he claims to be a private seller and has been pushing this saw for months.
 
It's no knockoff (judging by the picture)..... it may be a scam if its been posted all over craigslist however.
