051AV is a decent smaller milling saw - would be a very good fit to a 24" mill and would cope with a 30" mill (36" if you keep the chain spot on with one of Rob D's grinders).

There is an 090 in my garage! What's the sizecahd output of that?

[agg221]

090 is as big as they get. 137cc, quoted power varies but was advertised as 13hp at 6,500rpm. Very nice saw to have.

I got it after a theft cleared us out many years ago and I had a couple of big trees to get down that day. After the stolen kit was replaced, she was used as a stand-by only. The body used to get put in the footwell to warm her up on the way to site as tugging her over was hard! She still roars occasionally now although I use a 13 or 14 year old 088 to ring up a few lumps!

They are pretty unsophisticated and brutal, but there's nothing quite like them for sheer unstoppable grunt. Is yours the AV one (with the bar handle running front to back across the top) or the non-AV one? The non-AV one is even more brutal!
