Husky 55 Rancher vs 359 vs Stihl 290

[WayneOhio1]

I have a Husky 55 rancher it runs great but i only use it for firewood or trees no larger then 15'' BUT i feel it kinda bog down while cutting hard. how would the Husky 359 vs the Stihl 290 be. I'm only a homeowner but i do like having the best.

comparing the three saws you mentioned the 359 is head and shoulders above the rancher or 290.

thank you

Is there any way to beef up my 55 Rancher ? OR learn to love it the way it was bon

I would leave the rancher alone and use it for smaller cutting and trimming,a 359 would really surprise you with the anti-vibe and power increase.

With those options, I agree......

...but the Dolmar PS5100 aught to be considered also....
