We use stihl and husky every day on our course but the stihl is everyones choice of saw the huskys only get used by the newbies on our course.

We run stihl blowers saws trimmers hedge clippers and pole pruners. The only non stihl piece we have at work is a shandawia hedge trimmer that is used as a last resort.

I cut between 50,000 and 70,000 feet a week with a 2186 Jonsered. We also have a few Huskys on the landing and for back up.

I don't work with saws daily, but I do work on them daily. 95%of the saws in the woods here used by the loggers are Stihl.

I run a Jonsered, Mac 10-10, and echo trimmers, edgers, blowers, and a stihl trimmer blower, and a husky 323L trimmer for a backup.

what i'd like to know is ..........of all the stihl fans, what % of them actually used husky's for any length of time? is the stihl suport just blind allegiance with no real reason? you know "because my dad ran a stihl so i'm gonna run stihl". or have they just lost all mental capacity for rational thought?

I'll run either one if you gave me one to use all day, as long as it gets the job done. having run both Stihl and husky trimmers, same for chainsaws, and any other piece of equipment.

Geez KF, I hadda wipe tears before I could type but guess I can give you some polling data.
1.Husky time, None
2.Blind allegiance to Stihl, see below
3.Dad ran David Bradleys
4.Limited mental capacity, got me there.
5. Prone to irrational thought? Heck I dont know, here is why I own them.
Stihl dealer 5 miles away, been Stihl dealer since I was too young to run a saw. Stocks parts, stocks service, Stocks all models and stocks a smile when I walk in. Twice in 25 years I have needed dealer service, paid for part and they put them in for free.
Husky dealer is 4 miles away, been the Husky dealer since they came into town and built the super store 3 years ago. Stocks spark plugs, one style of chain and one bar size. Get a frown when I walk in, another when I hit the saw dept. They stock four homeowner models up to 50 or so CC but they will cheerfully, (with a frown) order me any husky I want. They do keep a list of people who might work on the saw, none are local since they ran the local servicing dealer out of business when they came into town.
Call #5 as you wish, I'm going out to the shop and pet my saws.
