Alright you, HUSKY fans time to put up or shut up!!

[frogdaddy]

I guess one good way to get what you want is to start making smart-ass comments.

I have six saw projects out in the shop right now. They are mostly simple rebuilds but still all my free time is spent working on chainsaws. CAD is what it is. Yeah, one of them is a husky (44 rancher).

Fixed that for ya

nah,just that stihl cuts twice as fast,works done by wednsdays&able to achieve that
work/life balance thing better?

...Stihl cuts twice as fast

Please, explain.

The best saw that has ever been made, or ever will be made is the Husky 272XP.

That's weird from a guy who have a 288

I have one of those! What's so great about a 272xp?

 

[weedkilla]

It walks all over an open port 268?

 

[RandyMac]

The 288 is a fine light saw.

 

[RandyMac]

Nah, just that stihl fails twice as fast, in shop on Monday, works done by Wednesday & able to achieve that
flat wallet thing better.

fixed for accuracy.

I have a husky 272XP that I inherited from my Dad, and it is one tough SOB, 3 bars multiple chains and 2 air filters and still going strong.
I recently finished my project 288 and have not had much of a chance to run it, this fall when they open the Forest I will though

The reason I love the Husky 272Xp so much, and why I am in the process of building another is the grunt and the stable way it cuts..
It just keeps cutting and cutting, I do not mod any of my saws in any way!

Hmmm? All of the Stihl people that jumped in at the start answered while the work day was still active, the Husky people answered after the day was done in their time zone.I rest my case.

Dang, it's good to be six weeks ahead and have college cheerleaders to do the proofreading or I would missed this thought provoking post.

I limbed up two trees yesterday with a 288, I'd dropped them with it and just carried on

 

[Hedgerow]

The 562 could only last half as long as a 362, and I still wouldn't trade the 562...
It's just that fine...
Of course I bought it from Terry also..
I've run them both... Stock and ported...
I do own one Stihl though, and Dolmar is my brand of choice...

OK... 2 Stihls... but one is for sale..
Neither is made any more..

I used to be all stihl but they are harder to work on ,guard their repair manuals ,expensive on parts,
and Ive warmed up to the 65l, l77,2 480s,&2 181s Better power to weight , better ergonomics,
and lastly,not as finnicy as my stihls,Im a model to model stihl, husky fence sitter all the way

 

[Brush Ape]

I used to be all stihl but.............

I used to be all Stihl, too. On thier latest round of commercials, they are showing the Virginia Beach facility and a, "couple" of the supervisors on the ad was clearly a little light in their loafers. That makes me mad and now I'm gonna start buying Husky's.

 

[Hedgerow]

Buy Dolmars instead...

 

[Brush Ape]

Buy Dolmars instead...

OK
