Hey all,

I know its been awhile since i've posted, but i finally got some free time and here I am Ok anyways, Which Chainsaw do you all prefer? My family and I are all Husqavarna, My cousins/grandparents were/are all loggers so they prefer Husqavarna after they've owned STIHL and Homelite and they kept breaking...so what do you guys like? My dad has a Husky 51 and is buying me the same, and my grandfather had some 3 something XP with over 6hp

 

STIHL Chainsaws are the best

 

I'm afraid not....I liked Husqvarna better then stihl, but it was close..homelite on the other hand...POS

 

This shouldnt be in which is better.

But i picked husky, they make wicked engines.

 

why not? i was wondering which chainsaw you think is better....and it says this forum is for ALL which is better discussions...and when it comes down to it...chainsaws are motorized, lol

 

Husky all the way. Dad owns a 51, loggers we just had at the land used nothing but them, its all we use at the fire department. They've never let us down once.

 

I have a 28" Stihl and it's been great. I just cut down 28 pine trees this weekend and cut down 20+ a few months ago as well as a bunch after the hurricanes. No problems and cuts like butter. Just keep the chain out of the dirt, regardless of the brand. If you don't go with a Stihl, I'd go with the Husqavarna. Avoid the retail (i.e. HD, Lowes) stores. I've gone thru a few chainsaws from them and they never last.

 

OTHER ? > Bare HANDS OWN

 

Whatever he used...

 

Sweet!

 

Just got a Poulan Pro 16". It works for me. I don't live in the woods. All's I can say is Homelite anything sucks.
All the rest of my 2 strokers are Echo and I've never had a problem w/ any of them.

My infor probably doesn't help any though. Good luck

 

I use both husquvarna ans stihl at work (im a forest ranger) I've got a husky i use at home. I like both brands of saws.
My uncle swear's by shindaiwa saws. I've never used one, but i know a few loggers that prefer them.

 

haha my uncle bought a Poulan and HATED it, he bought it just for limbing and it couldn't do it, my dad makes fun of em saying "Yep, u pull-on and and pull-on and pull-on, etc." lol good luck with yours though!

 

Sthil Farm boss, thats what I have.
Returned a new Husq. and threw a fit after it quit oiling and burnt the bar during the first run of it.
Will admit the Husq seemed to rev faster and even higher rpm sounding.

TDS

 

And then again it could have been that 101 octane and redline syn 2 stroke mix that had something to do with it.????????

TDS

 

What model/year husq was it??
