How about them John Deeres?

[Finnbear]

I'd buy the Husky if I were you .....

I recently bought a John Deere 55SV (older saw) ... got it running yesterday and it's really strong! Only problem is that if something breaks, I would have to use Ebay to find parts (and they're rare) .. And if the new saws parts are difficult to find in a couple of years then it would be a PITA IMO.

Isn't that Deere (and some of their other older saws) just a rebadged Echo?
IIRC when Dad bought a CS602VL new about 25 years ago that Deere was also selling Echo saws with the Deere label on them. Is this right or is my remembry going bad too?
