Lightly used 400c

[data farm 26]

I have a lightly used 400c that I want to sell but I am not sure what to price it at. Does anyone here have an idea how to price used chainsaws?

It would be sweet if they had hour tachs on saws

I believe the new Stihl saws do, in the engine computer, but only a Stihl dealer can read it.

OPE forum has a fair volume of saws for sale to check prices

I’d consider buying it if you want to try to ship it. Can’t help you on price though I don’t even know what they are new

Right on! If I can't sell locally I will definitely send it your way. That's one reason I asked here as well, I couldn't find a price for a new one online, only battery saws?

Once I figure out a figure I'll definitely let you know. One of my favorite saws I've used over the years, just trying to raise money for some other tools currently and this thing is sitting in storage.

Fwiw



What year?

Whoa, that's way more than I thought. Must have bought it in 24.

The price at my local saw shop, with a standard 20” bar, is $1079.99. I just looked, because I was in there to pick up some other things.

Thank you for the intel, Reach!!!

Half- wrap? Stock dogs and air filter?

Should add that to the "why is treework expensive" list!

That's correct. A local dealer pulled up some specs one of my saws for me. Hrs ran, average time ran between shut offs, number of pulls to last start the saw, rpms it's been running at... pretty impressive that it tracks so much. I had no idea until I saw the data

It is actually quite impressive what those saws know. It’s also amazing how much computer and storage they can pack into such a small machine.

Companies have black box logging sometimes for warranty purposes. Bunch of years ago a toyota guy told me how warranty coverage was voided for a customer because a mis-shift over-rev was logged that caused the engine to blow; the shift pattern on the mr2(?) was so tight and short throw that the guy went 2nd to 1st instead of 2nd to 3rd.

On old saws the data log is filter - how does the intake side of the piston and cylinder look, hour meter is rings and compression and have the seals gone hard/worn out, overrev - is it still running
