Looking for used milling saw

I was pretty disappointed how much better my 084 is compared to my 076.

Hopefully going to collect my Stihl 056 tomorrow.

I was offered very nice 084 but could not afford it.

May be I will get one one day.

'''Tis I with the 076, still for sale. £250

 

(Thanks Simon)

 

My wife wanted me to buy this one so she can have a holiday in France.

Sounds like a perfect holiday

Hi Bill, do you mean you found the 084 not much better than your 076?

 

Personally, I found the 084 a big step up from 075, in several ways. Less vibration. Definitely more grunt. More reliable. I had a 3/8" nose fitted to a .404 3' bar, and ran stihl 10 degree 3/8" rip chain. Noticeably quicker than anything I'd tried before. Plus ease of filling fuel as said. Plus I didn't have chain brake on the earlier model 075 I'd been using.

 

Aaah---mennn....

Yeah just re read that post, I mean I was disappointed at how much worse the 076 was. I love them they are class saws, and I had hoped that the newer ones weren't as good! Will be milling with 084 always now unless second saw needed on other end. Has been reliable though and can still get parts for 076

Ah yes, got you, yes I know what you mean exactly. Made me think why did I mess around with other saws for so long. The 075 I've previously used seemed to be ok for a while then would need a vacuum hose, or a new clutch set, or the decompression valve would fall out. All half way through a log and sometimes deep in a wood somewhere. Think it just got old one day. Replaced all those bits, but the 084 is just easier and faster, it may only be 10cc more but it just handles the job a bit better. I wonder how an 880 would be, once it had loosened up. Same?

sounds like i'd better hang on to mine then???

 

i was going to sell it as i don't use it for milling (the reason i bought it) as i never got round to buying a mill to go with it. i've just been using it a few times to cut up some large lumps before i sell it and even with my extremely limited experience with saws (different ones i mean) i have to say it's by far the best one i've used yet and to me is also very easy to use too.
