Model No: 377
Manufacturer: Shindaiwa

This is a very popular saw for use in Christmas tree lots. It's light weight (9 lbs), well balanced, tough and has plenty of power for the job. This saw comes equipped with a 15 inch bar and have 2.5 hp at 8500 RPM.
The "older" people enjoy using these saws becasue of the weight, power and ease of starting. The "younger" generation just laugh at these saws and are pleasantly surprised after trying one in a tree. (Most of them run 15,500 RPM)

Pros:
light weight
chain brake
fully adjustable automatic chain oiling system
2 ring piston
high torque engine
4 bolt muffler

Cons:
doesn't like stale fuel

Date Purchased: demoed at work
Price Paid: $539.95 retail Canadian
