husky 2100 for sale

[SouthSoundTree]

I have heard of these, but don't know their reputation. What vintage are they? Any thoughts.

$550 with a bar and chain.

...meh , saws without brake don't cut it for me

Ive got a 288 for sale for less money. Seems a lot of cash for something that old.

 

[SouthSoundTree]

I didn't notice the lack of chain brake.

Sounded like they're hungry saws, but maybe not anything special at that age.

I was thinking of a big bucking saw for felled logs. I have an MS 660/ 36" which suits me. Just saw it while surfing.

 

[Tucker943]

Outstanding saw. A little pricey but not for the faint of heart.

 

[Magnus]

Amazing price for a perhaps 40 years old saw!

Not a money maker anymore as it is to old and now deserv a spot in a collection!

2100CD replaced 1100CD in 1975. Replaced by 2100 in '79-'80 something, then 2101XP around '87.

 

[Tucker943]

Id stick that thing right in a fat log where it is meant to be. Its a chainsaw, not a painting.

I still run my '70's vintage 2100's professionally. One that has been modified will pull a 50' bar like nothing. They are heavy but dependable and hard to find. I would never sell mine.

 

[old irish]

That is 50'', not foot! sorry.

 

[sawman]

99cc how could u go wrong

 

[Al Smith]

I'll tell ya what that is the hardest starting saw I think ever made .If you flood that SOB you'll be tugging on the rope until your arm falls off .

That said it's got a lot of power .Keep in mind though it's got some age on it and parts aren't all that easy to find these days .

 

[rskybiz]

Won't sell mine and a brake can be had for them. Love the power.

Big old 5cube, hard to beat.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Lordy! Daddy like!!!

Those fuggers are a beast in wood. I was doing a contract loggin' job with another cat using a 2100 with a 32" bar. I was using my trusty 044. He let me run the 2100 for a few big Douggies and I tell ya what... the power was like no other saw I have ever used. Amazing grunt in 30"+ softwood!

However... $550 bones is a tad high...

I'm thinking of selling mine, it's in really good condition but I doubt I'd get $550 for it even here.

Great saw but there's no call for it much now around here.

 

[Al Smith]

Big old 5cube, hard to beat.

Ya missed it by 1 cube--99 cc.

 

[flushcut]

My bad!

 

[old irish]

Al, I remember you mentioning before how hard starting the 2100's are, but mine have been great starting saws. I wonder why your experience is different. Just something about the carb maybe?

 

[SouthSoundTree]

Wonder about the Anti-vibe.

Thought about it for milling, too.

Just dreaming, really, unless it came in cheap or could trade for it. I don't need it.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Anti vibe.........

 

[SouthSoundTree]

ya, that's what I thought, maybe, but it does look spring mounted on the front.

 

[rskybiz]

I don't find it too bad vibe wise.

 

[Altissimus]

.... I have learned this the hard way...F' old rebuilds....spend money on NEW .... Yeah it is nice to get some work out of an old war horse but I'm liking the 372 new

 

[Mick!]

True, I've got an 076, it's a laugh and all that but when I mean business forget it!
