does anyone here still run a 288 Lite
I've got one with the seals blowed out......so I wouldn't exactly say I "run it". Actually, I got very little work out of the 288 before it crapped out.
I liked the saw, but the mounting system was for the birds. Had a mount like a coil spring from a 78 Dodge 3/4 ton pickup. Swear I could feel the piston moving up & down.
More power than a 372 for cutting woods like hard maple & white oak, but not as heavy as the 394 to drag through the woods all day.
385 is a huge improvement.
i dont no if i agree with ya there on the 385. my pap has three and i like the 288s better than all of them. they are good saws but for me personally the wore out 288 works better for me but hey what ever work right....
