Anyone out there running a Husky 141?


Any good?

My boss has two 141, and they run good. I think they're about 6 or 7 yrs. old. I don't really know if he has ever had any problems with them, but they are a very common saw so finding any part shouldn't be a problem. For the price, its a great ground saw, or climbing saw if ya like a tail handle. He keeps 16" bars on them. If he would get a ???? computer he would tell you himself. Good price on them compared to similar size Stihl. We do run these saws everyday too.

Sorry, should mention that in the two and a half years I've worked with this guy we have not had any problems with 141.

I have a dead one layen out in the shop. It lasted about 2 months in hard wood. This was a new saw and I guess you could say it still is. I took the jug off and found the wrist pin keeper had come loose. Went between the piston and cylinder. It was too messed up to fix, I can all most buy the new saw for what the jug and piston cost. To bad, it was a sweet little saw. lots of power

My groundie has an 141.

It is a good saw, I find it compariable (power, weight, and such) to my 025. However I perfer my Stihl over the husky because I dont like the way the pull cord feels when you pull it, and the kill switch and choke is a PITA compaired to Stihl

yeah, if I got glove + liners on, I can hardly shut it off. The top handle huskys ain't like that. They're also about 150.$ more than a 141. I've never run an 025, but I've run an 021, and an 026, and the 141 kinda feels like the 021.

My brother-n-law has the 136 version of that saw. I don't care for it myself but I helped him cut wood with it and that little thing will cut. It has to be pretty tough to survive the way he works saws.

Sounds like some of you like those two models.
They're good saws for the money.
A much better, "bang for the buck" than the smaller Stihls.
