Any tales from Echo PPT 280 owners? And what about harnesses?

[newbury]

Well I bought the PPT 280 w/ a 4' extension and 3 extra chains.

Pics to come later.

Here's my son (6'3") using it before the 4' extension arrived.
Thus the saw is "only" at 13 feet 2 inches.

When you wear that chain out - 63PS or 63PS3 get you through them cuts even faster.

Hate hearing the 280 retired. Glad I got the other one this year now.
Just hope the replacements are good as they are.
