Nothing like a fine looker with great curves, and the ones with the nicest curves are the Dollies... :in-love:
 
Husqvarna?

Makita?

Jonsered?

Dolmar?

Those really are turds for their size and weight, and repainting old saws destroys any collectors value, imo. :hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:


I admit it looks great though! :biggrin:

Dont know that I could pick... but the original Stihl 064/ 066 flat tops are as good looking as there will ever be. I loved the yellow zinc plate that Stihl finished their hardware off with (expecially the 066 bucking spikes), a testament of their attention to detail. I am also partial to the late 61's, 262's, 272's and the like. New saws, nothing but perfection with the 365-372.
 
I'm more concerned with what I'm wearing when running a saw. If I don't have clean clothes that match what I'm running, then I don't show up for work. Plain and simple. With Twitter, Facebook, and the like, I have too much at risk if I'm looking shabby on the job.

It's beneficial that the two brands you initially mentioned match hunting colors at least. A saw with vegetable oil as bar lube quarters a deer or moose real nicely.
 
Ah yes, nothing like an old Stihl classic. I'll be taking a cold shower if anybody needs me!:blob2:

I don't think I am too far off if I say the only great Stihls in reasonably modern are the 056 mag II and the Euro version of the MS361. Several others were quite good when they came out, but were kept in production long after they were outdated though.....

It actually looks like Stihl is mostly focused at swarming the market with consumer products (at an inflated price for what they are) and agressive marketing of those (at false premises) at this point, as they really aren't able to compete regarding pro saws.
 
Between husky and stihl (as the title says) id say stihl. Jred makes better looking huskys. Both have some turds and some good looking saws, but stihl has less turds and their pretty saws are prettier than huskys. :D
