Old fella used to use danarm saws on the leccy board, said they were good saws but once it got hot you didn't stop it coz you wouldn't fire the thing back up again

I have a 261 and I love it! Don't have an 08 but I do have a ts350 which is the same engine but a disc cutter not a chainsaw. It runs ok but vibrates a lot! Not a patch on my ts420, that's a good piece of kit. I think its a bit like comparing old cars and new, they generally do the same job, newer ones are a bit faster but much more refined and nicer to use. Reliability is another matter though, cars and chainsaws!

i have the older ts400 here, its not killed with work now so i wasnt in any rush to change up but had thought about doing so some time.
then i happened to be on a job where the man had a new ts420 but it had the bigger blade option on it, i was gutting concrete with it and i thought it under powered tbh, id say with the normal blade she would of felt good.
kinda put me off changing, for now anyways for this one i have is going the best and is in good nick as they go.

the 410 and the 420 are exactly the same but the 420 takes a 14" blade. I agree it can feel a bit under powered cutting to full depth in concrete, you just have to go slowly! I bought mine for a specific job cutting out lintels that were 5" thick. 14" blade will cut to 5" depth, 12" blade only 4. I really want a 410 for general cutting and a ts700 (about 100cc!) for bigger stuff. Wouldn't fancy chopping out at head height with one though! Its probably like using an Ms880 to prune with!
