That MS280 looks like a versatile saw. I had the equivalent Husqvarna Rancher. It was difficult to deal with the three-staged on/off/choke lever, was hard to start. The rubber mounting was way too soft and flexible, so the bar would bounce, even with a good sharp chain! I got $300 for it (with couple of new chains) and it paid for the 372 clone powerhead. That bar certainly does not bounce, but it is a bigger and heavier saw. I am left with no 50cc saw/16" bar! The 372 and teeny 2500 will have to do for now.
