is $200.00 a good deal for a husky 272

[Stevebass4]

lady at works husband passed away and she is selling all of his tools and i mentioned i'm in the market for a chainsaw

she said she found a husky 272xd that was used once- i offered her $200.00 - do you think this is a fair deal as i can't seem to find anything about this saw

 

[carpniels]

Lets hope she misspoke and it is a 372XP. You are golden with that price for that saw.

I betcha that carpniels is right! If so, grab that sucker before it gets away. That's an awesome price for that saw!

 

[Stevebass4]

great thanks very much guys!

 

[Corie]

If you don't want it, and it is a 372XP I'll take it off your hands

 

[Stevebass4]

i'll keep that in mind

It probably is the little known 272XP. A 72cc saw that weighs in at around 13.5 pounds. It ought to be one hell of a saw for $200. I don't know what the deal is with the 272XP. I know they exist and are supposedly still made but Husky does not have anything about them on the U.S. site. There are 272XP's and 272XPG's out there in the wild somewhere.

 

[Stevebass4]

you're right BB it's a 272xp with a 24 inch bar -

 

[carpniels]

if it runs right it is still a really great saw to have on the side for the very largest of logs you come across.

If she selling it and no one it the family wants it, it fair.

Here is the owner's manual for the saw.

Photos please! I've never seen this one before, it would help me and maybe some of the others in identifying one down the road. Plus, we all like a little chainsaw p0rn!

 

[Stevebass4]

you friggin stole that saw! wanna make some money on it? LOL those were great saws,good score.

just a recommendation.if you're going to keep it. i'd replace the fue and impulse lines,fuel filter and rebuild the carb if you don't want to blow it up.saws don't like to sit for a long time.it's not worth anything seized.

 

[Stevebass4]

Thanks for the tip on the fuel, fuel filter and carb.. honestly i might use this thing a couple times a year at most so i do want it to last a while!

 

[hornett22]

always run it out of fuel then when your done. the new gas we get these days is wreaking havock on carbs after 30 days. THANKS FOR NOTHING EPA!

 

[carpniels]

Hi hornett,

Never noticed anything like that on my Husky 359. Always starts on first or second pull. Even after sitting with half a tank of gas all winter.

So what happened to you?

[hornett22]
