It time for me to pick your chainsaw brains.
I work in a retail store (not at ‘box store’) but you might get that impression from the variety of home, hardware, farm, ranch & feed items that we offer. Its actually a family owned and operated enterprise that was started in 1927 and is now supporting its third generation of owners and their families.
There are three saw brands offered here: Mac, Husky & Troy Built. Since I have been reading this forum I have gleaned that there are only two serious contenders for the title ‘real chainsaw’…. STIHL & HUSQVARNA.
With that in mind I have tried to steer potential saw buyers to the Husky saws over the other two brands. My question regards the entry level Husky saws, models 136, 137, 142. Today I noticed that the bar mount pattern for these saws is like that for the Poulan, and possibly other ‘cheap-o’ throw away saws. Has Husky simply cloned (or worse yet) outsourced their good name to an inferior saw just to get a model in the $200.00 ballpark?
Please give me your thoughts on the Husky 1xx series saws. I posed the same question to our Husky rep and he performed a verbal tap-dance so I never did get a solid answer, but I know you guys have nothing to hide!
Saw away!
Thanks!
