This is a STIHL 088 chainsaw (8.9 HP!, cost $1200 new), runs great. I used it for milling logs into boards (not professional load, but heavy usage when used) using an Alaskan Sawmill (an attachment that clamps on the bar, ~$200 new.)
Engine just serviced - runs great. Comes with chains and custom boxes (2) I built to hold engine and sawmill attachment and accessories. 36" bar and sawmill attachment allows 29" wide cut through logs. Otherwise if you don't want sawmill attachment, engine is not modified so it works as purchased.

Price is FIRM minimum. If multiple offers, buyers allowed to "bid" higher. STIHL 088 (~1998) + 36" bar + Alaskan Sawmill - $450 (Oakton, Va)

Well here's a pic in my kitchen.
121.6 CC of beauty and power. Purrs like a 7.3L diesel without the exhaust pipes.

Now what are you going to do with that

It is a piece that builds my puzzle. However it is a piece I never expected to find for such a low price.

I've about 30 acres of hardwoods in Northern Vermont and I'm pretty sure I've got some big trees there.

I planned on being able to CSM up to 6' or so, but I was going to use my dual 660's, now I'm looking at a single powerhead

Of course the 6' bar looks like it will cost at least $0.56 more than what I paid for the saw http://www.cannonbar.com/images/client/File/PDF/US MSRP COMPLETE.pdf

I bought my 044 for that price. What a deal! so how hard is it to start? I mean pull tension. The 044 compression just kills me.
