hello, i am 16 year old and i do the odd bit of fencing/hedging/logs. i decided to spend all my christmas money (and a bit more) on a 41 with 15" .325, a 61 with 20" 3/8, and a 281xp with 24" 3/8. they cost me 400 quid, and after putting new chains on and replaceing lost fuel caps etc they all run brilliantly. i would just like to know what they are worth, and any of your experience with these saws

 

many thanks, Charles B

Difficult to tell without pics but: -

 

41 - £80 - 120

61 - £80 - 150

281 - £230 - 350

 

They are all old school saws, the 281XPs are still very much sought after pro saws, the 61 are robust home logging saws and the 41 is a lighter home owner saw

You remind me of me, when I was your age or a bit younger I got my first saw a 44 husky, I spent weeks stripping it fiddling and fetleing it, It was a solid old school saw and good to learn the ins and outs on. I went away to Ag. college to study forestry when i was 16 and learnt that I didn't know as much as i thought i did, regarding safety saw use and maintenance. If you do one thing, get yourself on a proper CS30 etc. course and learn how to be safe with them. I and a lot of others on here will have plenty of horror stories to tell from our carreers. Before you think me an old fart, I am 30. I respect totally what you are doing, if only more people were so inclined, but I know what its like to be 16 with a chainsaw too. If you need any advice ask.

Nice 281, but make sure ya get yourself some PPE! I'm 22 and I nearly took my leg off with a similar size saw, didn't know bout the chainbreak or PPE, drop started the saw, it locked with the compression, swung round and took a few chunks out my shin
