Very nice Lester, I'm jealous!  My brother had a Stihl but my Husqvarna is by far a better saw in many many ways especially starting.  |

I hate chain saws!I have two high dollar stihls and a high dollar husky,and all three need constant attention like some spoiled little cheerleader!What sucks worse is that I have a homelight that I got at a recycling center(garbage dump)that somebody had thrown away with a bent bar.I banged the bar back out,reinstalled the original chain,and have been making up firewood with it for three years!Dang thing always starts and I just replaced the original chain last month!So much for german and swedish chainsaws!

thems fighting words well actually the trick to getting a stubborn to start husky to go is to threaten to buy a stihl and vice versa they are both great saws and you wont go wrong with either brand. Im just a stihl man, always have been and always will be. |
I would likely have bought a stihl but they were closed that day and the husky dealer wasn't, and they were across the street from each other. But that being said I have never been sorry for buying the husky. It has worked excellent for the last 20 years. I still starts cold on the 2nd pull every time. My Brother (rest his soul) and I used to have a contest all the time in Elk camp as to who's saw would start first when needed and my Husky won hands down. 
No B.S. In the timber where I hunt Elk I would be happy to have either saw with me as they would both get the job done.

| Thanks guys, been working hard, at least as hard as I can. Getting lots of help from Mike and Doogie. Clover starting to pop up, and we have several chain saws, of various sizes some good some not so good, but they all work. Heated with wood only when we were in Michigan did all the cutting and splitting myself, no hydraulic splitter either, 5 full cords per winter. Just purchased, not done with closing yet, a 28 x 70 double wide. It is used and a repo but is only a 2007 in very nice shape and a great price, most importantly Dee likes it. And, yes Elvis from where the back deck will be I can see down, and shoot down the best game paths, won't have to worry about someone else taking me out any more, only getting up off my butt to do it. |
What more could a man want in retirement.......a cold beer-faster horses-younger women-older whiskey-more money,or something like that!
