I know, I was just messing with ya.

FWIW In Upper MI its Husky country for the most part.

I just bag on them because I am a Stihl guy. I'm sure if I had Husky's I would be baggin' on Stihl.
I am planning on getting a 385 sometime and modding it. Have heard nothing but good about the saw modded for my line of work.

Take care as you just may find out that husky kicks:laugh: :greenchainsaw:
 
Well as far as I have seen the 029/290 is an aluminum crankcase engine mounted in a resin outer housing ...The only saws I have seen with a plastic lower crankcase is the Huskys. like the 350,455/460 .I just junked a 350 that had a spun bearing in the plastic case..


.


I seen a stock Dolmar 7900 break a crank in three places. three months old.
Does that mean all Dolmars are no good ?

The reliability record of the 7900 is essentially a unknown as there are not enough in the field to ascertain.
The one I had was a pretty good saw save for the issues with the oiler.
 
Definately need another GTG soon..... as far as the Stihl and Husky issue... The Huskys run hard and normally dominate in every class racing. Work saws, I use my ms460 for almost everything, except when climbing (200t) and for the big stuff(084). Both of their "pro" lines seem to be from what Ive ran good saws, you could drag it out forever, but the Stihl work saws seem to fit and feel better to me for some reason. I know a few people that say the same about the Husky line. Just operator prefrence for the most part....and I have a GREAT Stihl dealer close by, always has anything I need in stock or will have it in a day. Husky dealers leave a lot to be desired in our area.

TTR, You said it better then anyone has and we have witnessed first hand. Real racing you better find a Husky to run. Stock or woods ported for work or gtg use, whatever gets the job done and is comfortable to the user.
Aug 5th :D :rock: see you there.
 
Hopefully there will be a few Stihls there that day that will hold there own. :biggrinbounce2:

There was a good running modded Dolmar 9010 or 9000 last year in the 90cc over class and a (maybe stock, maybe not) 3120 that needed a good chain, that was a second behind the dolmar and my 066 in the 3 cuts. But the 066 I have held them back with that boob job hand filed chain I made up ( you know the hook bill one).
WJ said he might have a gas 3120 to bring and your 880 and 084 in that class will be the ones to watch, I just hope my 066 and 084 can stay in the top 5 this year. 0-89cc class Looks to be 7900's again and your sweet 460. The way that thing runs I will bet a top 3 finish for that 460, if not 1st.
0-51cc your 346 or a 5000, depends on operator errors. 0-65cc depends on what shows up i guess, last year was top 4 were dolmar 6400's and my 3750 5th. 5 classes to cover remember, see you there. Dont forget the 42cc under class for CSC also.

No they kick stihl sssssssssssssssss I have tried to be good
but comments like that are bad on both sides of the fence
my 2101 got here today and it screams as well as my two
372's and they kick as long as you are not a stihl dealer then
they make you say things like your post I have not said bad
things of stihl but husky's kick and that is fact.

Rope you have to understand who is #1. Go check out the "best homeowner saw" thread............
#1 in sales yes
but I have run them both and don't wish to start wars or mudslinging
but opinions are what we state and I don't buy homeowner saws so
that is not applicable stihl does have more dealer support but that is
not a necessity for a pro. I do like them both as they are both wonderfull
saws. I started out with xl's the differance in saws today is too great to list from the saws of yesteryear. But my husky's kick and bite so people running against me had better be on their toes or they will get dusted.
