Gosh a new chain saw is nice! #13128829 09/13/18 Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 5,082 Etna, Wyoming S Snake River Marksman OP Campfire Tracker OP Snake River Marksman Campfire Tracker S Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 5,082 Etna, Wyoming Bought a husky 455 rancher. It just chews right through dry pine. Only used it for maybe 30 minutes; but I'm already liking it a lot Stupidity is expensive If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

I cut a lot of Lodge pole here. The anti American Constitutional party (Democrat). Wants to dismantle your rights, limiting every aspect of your constitutional rights. Death by 1000 cuts is the tactic. Each cut bleeds constitutional rights to control you. Control is the goal.

I have some big saws but I want something smaller for firewood chores. Do not feed the bear! White Bear sometimes treads on thin ice...

I have an expensive Husqvarna and it is a great saw. Paid $625 for it 3 years ago.

Cut up 4 or 5 cords per winter. Great saw for our needs.

No more bending over, at least for the cutting part! thankfully the lawyers haven't messed up chainsaws like they did gas cans. Well, they tried once with that safety tip thingy, but that didn't last thank God. _______________________________________________________ An 8 dollar driveway boy living in a T-111 shack LOL

Saw shops will not work on it now. Fortunately it still runs like a top.

Huskys ain’t bad but they ain’t stihl.

Huskys ain’t bad but they ain’t stihl. Eggzackly. Ask the pros...they’ll tell you the same thing. I’ve got a 362 (and a few others) and it’s the nastiest saw I’ve ever held.
