I owned one of these and was very impressed with the power, sound, feel and performance. I sold my first one. Big mistake. Glad I got a chance to get another 288XP, and then another one! The second one is now in my sons hands. I'm not sure why they quit making this saw. So much power. All parts can be found to rebuild these because they are so popular. Why my title of eye opener? Well, in my opinion, when you first start it and hear the pop pop pop of it running it means there's a strong engine with good compression. It makes me smile. Then when you put the bar and chain in a nice piece of wood you can feel the power pulling a sharp chain gouging out big chips. The smell of fresh cut wood enlightens the senses in a good way. These saws are not as heavy as some and heavier than others. This is my go-to saw for big work. It'll open your eyes wide when you run one and you'll be impressed.Read full review

Probably one of the best saws Husqvarna made. Plenty of power, lighter and easier to handle than my 395XP and can do the same job. Ideal for production logging and milling. Love the sound and feel of the 200 series Husqvarna saws. They should have never stopped making the 288 and the 266, both are dependable saws with plenty of power to get the job done

Awesome Husky saw, very reliable. Mine starts every yr. Power house 87cc engine. With a good chain/bar combo you can cut any type/size hardwood with no trouble, Oak, Mesquite, Manzanita.... Has that classic thumping sound saws had BITD. I love mine, @ 25+ yrs old she's still a rip snortin' beauty... best saw I've ever owned, hands down! Thx Uncle Jon! You knew your saws~
