It`s a tad nose heavy!!

 

[Welder56]

..... 24" bar on the 044 is a little nose heavy. Can't imagin what 3 times that length would be like on a saw hahaha plus the weight of the 090 on top of that

Put a 28" Stihl Lite on that 044. Weighs what a 20" and balances great. I got one on my 044/046 Brad ported for me......Oh My.

[Welder56]

Good show!! Must feel a little lighter without all the weight on ya!

 

[pioneerguy600]

Only ask for help when its too big for me to move, otherwise I will find a way to get er done myself. Real happy that roof job is over, now rest of summer will be more relaxed.

Have a victory beer! Slowly getting the 254 ready for reassembly. Almost have everything to complete

 

[pioneerguy600]

Yup, had a beer! Hope that 254 goes together easily and all the parts work good, should make a fine saw.

 

[Welder56]

From everything I read about it, seems like it will.

It will be a fine saw, they were used/abused by a lot of pulp cutters in this province but for the firewood cutters they are a fine saw. The Husky saws in general took a lot of attention to keep them together, all the fasteners had a habit of backing out and getting lost. The mufflers were always falling off or just loosening up and the hot exhaust gasses melted the plastic parts around it, their chainbrakes were troublesome and clunky, the recoil housings were plastic and always had most of the air fins broke or missing. I ran them for production cutting and spent too much time keeping them in good running condition. Worked in a Husky dealership where these saws came back over and over with the same issues. My dolmars and Stihls did not have these issues so I just liked them better for everyday production cutting of either saw logs, pulp or lot clearing. Just good mix, clean the airfilter and keep the chains sharp, all I had to do to keep them working.

 

[Welder56]

Ya I can see it based on the construction of everything. It is quite simple to work on as a plus. But will be interesting to see the difference between the two brands!

I'm no professional by any means. I love putting them together and doing the odd cut in the woods with a friend of mine. I'm way to anal to run my saws hard and put Em away wet LOL
