For the amount of work we get in this country for big trees, an 880 or the husky equvelant would likely last you a life time if you looked after it....Next time you get a job that requires it, stick decent money on it, and make the investment :)

 

I doubt my 084 did 40 hours, I dropped it for the regular saw as soon as possible, it wore me out and drank fuel.

If you do find someone willing to lend you an 880, why not buy your own bar/chain for that saw if you only have occasional use. This is the most easily messed up part of the saw, whether blunted, or bent through misuse. If you then found you had enough workfor the 880 you'd "only" have to buy the engine unit in future.

Good point about the bar and chain,personally I wouldn't lend even the engine to anyone other than someone I know very well that they will only use the same mix as I do. I don't even put other peoples mix in my saws
