Ok so I have a Echo cs6700 and it's been a great saw but I am at the limit of the powerhead for a mill. I have some 36" maple to get milled and feel I will burn up the saw if I try it. I have gone through some 30" dug fir and with a sharp chain it did ok.
I am looking for an 088. Just found an 084 for $950. It comes with a 36" bar. Say it runs perfect. Of course nobody would ever sell non perfect crap. Besides starting it up what else should I look for? This will probably be a dedicated milling saw. Going to probably make a 48" mill for it. I can copy and improve on my Alaskan 36" mill.
Is the 084 enough for a big mill. Could I get away with something lighter? Looking for advise. Don't mind spending the money, just don't want to waste it.
