Good job. So your saying Husqvarna got rid of the bikes and some employees, ok. Quite different from the man that traveled the world to keep his employees, proceed. More story please!!

300 plus years. Tom that is how old Husqvarna is. think about it.
Thats older then the Country we live in.

Now how many employees do you think they have helped.

Didn't you tell me Husqvarna is a town? Now are you saying the town is 300 years old or the company?
 
Where's 1984???
That's when I owned a 1984 Husqvarna CR125 and raced it at local Motorcoss Tracks. Well I guess I never made the List. But I still had fun. Believe it or not, one of my good friends who worked for Stihl always was asking about my Husky bike every time I saw him. He's now a BIG Shot with Stihl. These bikes were awesome to ride.

1984 is there. AMA championships
Just one Husky since 1972.

1973
Husqvarna continues its intensive R&D work. We launch the 140 which is handier, smaller and lighter than our earlier models. It’s based on the 180.

This was the first-ever made chain saw with an automatic chain brake.

Automatic Chain Brake is referring to a brake that would go on if kickback occured without your hand having to hit the brake handle. It worked great.


Ok now this is where tom smiles from ear to ear.

In 1965, Stihl introduced an innovation in chain saw design with its antivibration system, which absorbed the impact of the saw's vibration, allowing steadier and less fatiguing control. This design change was quickly copied by Stihl's competitors. Three years later, Stihl added an electronic ignition system to its saws, improving their reliability. Other design changes included a more efficient chain lubrication system,syst an inertial chain braking em, which stopped the chain in the event of kickback, and a master control lever, which allowed the user to control the saw's starting and stopping functions without releasing the saw's handle.

Better email Stihl.

• Chain braking system - the QuickStop chain brake brings chain to a halt in a fraction of a second of the machine kicking back (1972).

The town of Husqvarna is older then the Husqvarna Company.







Ya see some people don't have to name a company after themselves.
I think it has something to do with a small body part.:hmm3grin2orange:
 
Now, this is getting interesting!


:popcorn:

No kidding, I thought this thread was about bikes till that chart came up and ended that. Now I'm really confused as to who is first, who's on first or what was first, I'm getting conflicting reports here,LOL

That was only AMA, Not world.
 
While this may not be the husky story it is the story
of how I run the big dawgs! It all started back in the
eighties when I was previously a stihl head was running
028,084,09 and liked them and the commercials of
them going over cliffs and still running! I ran them
saws and their was none better in my mind. I felt
as strong about them as I do now about husky's!
One day them saws were getting old and had served
me well, countless hours but was time to buy new saws!
I know a friend that had bought some so; I go over he says
go for it man; well I pick the dad burn thinky up and start
looking for the choke, then the switch:confused:
Anyway; I have to be shown by a home owner, me
being a pro, how to start this friggin thing. Ok now
embarrassment over saw running still thinking how
stupid it was to play a joke on a pro, start cutting
wow this thing at least cuts good and ran for a while
out of fuel! Then I go to fill up the saw wtf they do it
again now that makes twice:angry: I remember another
bud that likes husky so decide to go check it out
wow I say I have arrived never have I felt the
smooth power of a perfect saw until that day!
Never have I looked back two weeks later I see
this hippy saying how his new flippy caps are
cool man! Whatever husky kicks.

Well it seems some people take the age of the town and promote it as the age of a company. I read the samething on the owners manual with both Husky saws I bought. They twist it and make it sound like they, Husqvarna, are indeed a 300 year old "company". They're website does the samething. Its slick Willy at his best if ya ask me and I like slick Willy, don't care much for his wife though, yikes...
 
Again, You must read, The word Automatic is the focus point. This new design has an adjustable tip that was close to the handlebar on the right front side. When or if you had a liitle kickback it would engage the chain brake. Not an inertial system but automatic.
I'd like to grin ear to ear but my mouth's not that wide.:clap: :clap: :clap:

An inertial system is automatic, like no hands mom, don't have to touch anything, so I don't understand what point you're trying to make.
 
o.k., Time for me to come clean....

I've owned a HUSKY for 25 years... and it stihl gets used every day.


Which one - a HUSKY 950.. well.. half of one unless the judge declares it
"personal property", then I own none...
