Going to stir the pot. Stihl vs Husky.

[president]

I'm sorry to rant. I'm just heartbroken. Stihl has it. JRed is gone. Husky has bloated stuff with some kind of paint on performance version of silver. I feel like it's just game over. Mac revisited.
Now it's down to having stihl prices compete with stihl prices over stihl prices. Husky isn't even in the professional equation anymore. Even Echo (great saws!!) is edging them out of this market.
I mean jeez!! I've run two 500i's before I could find anyone with a 572... Not because of demand, but because of order times. None of the professional timber companies here have anything husky besides me. They're strictly stihl. 4 years ago, (aside from the MS200) you couldn't find a single stihl in anyone's truck.
This is completely by husky's own doing.
Maybe the Left coast is different, but on the atlantic, husky is far and few between, and unfortunately, they're carrying inferior products...

I probably have over 75 older huskys. Most run. They might be a tad slower but with my old age we’re equal.

If you work on your own saws I think you'd prefer Stihl to Husqvarna..Aftermarket parts about the same price for both, OEM parts a bit more expensive with Stihl. Probably more Stihl dealers around than Husky...

I'm getting more convinced that 90% of people on chainsaw forums don't work with chainsaws.

I sure work on them when it's warm enough...

Husqvarna saws were once easy to work on. The newer ones today suck to work on.
