Very clean 1989 '300th Anniversary' Husqvarna 2101XP 99cc chainsaw..... arguably, but definitely according to many, the best saw Husky has ever made.....and, just plain sweet to find in this condition, as these saws were made to do heavy duty in old-growth wood, and most did.

I intended this one as a backup, for the backup, to my 394XP. Not sure I REALLY need such deep backup, given my only-periodic needs, so....have VERY-reluctantly decided to offer it, and hope it will go to a collector rather than to be used heavily.

I'm not a saw mechanic, so can only tell you what I can:

Physically, as the photos show, it is in very-clean original condition. Appears all-original, with the exception of the smaller pull-state handle....which does work fine, surprisingly, and could certainly be replaced with an original-type.

Compression shows at over 150 PSI, but may actually be higher as I don't think my gauge gets an ideal seal. Starts and runs nicely, but I haven't ever had occasion to actually cut with it... Sure has a nice kick-in-the-pants feel, even holding it in-hands at idle! These full-height mufflers breathe well and put out a nice, deep and throaty sound.

Includes the 42" bar shown, which appears to be in very good condition. Sprocket/bar are for the appropriately-beefy 404/063 chain. Obviously, a full-wrap handle bar, so one can control the beast in any position. Get a 24-28" bar as well, and you'll be ready for anything.

Located in Foxboro, MA, and I can usually accommodate a visit most anytime. Some fresh premium-and-Stihl-Ultra mix ready for a test-run....

Consider what it take$ to buy a saw of this size today, that this was made when a no-compromise approach was the norm, that this 'un has the solid no-EPA-frills just-plain-works technology, that it's a collectible schweet-meat, and......perhaps you'll agree that it's a good value at $825.

'Reason' is not considered needed, at all, amongst the saw people.....!

The saw's badness IS 'reason', and justification, in and of itself....:)
 
would love to own it but i already have two saws

Yes, BUT......one can't put two, or even four, chihuahuas together, and get a doberman.......should one NEED one at any point......:)

There's lots of bug stuff still to come down, like I saw, and cut, after those two destructive storms a couple of years back. I even used the Stihl 090AV, 137 ccs of torque-monster badness, on a few....:) The 2100 2101XPs were the go-to nsaw for many a northwest old-growth cutter in their day, and still the right for the big jobs. Besides, there's nothin' quite like runnin' a big saw, period...!

It's kinda like asking a guy if he REALLY needed that last hundred horsepower in his performance-car project....to which question the grin on his face is answer enough.... When there's bug cutting to be done, just ain't no substitute for cubes.
