Make sure you get it from someone that can service it. Whatever you buy.

I've had a $100 Poulan for 14 years. I've had to replace the primer button and a few chains. And considering I only use it maybe twice a year, I think it has been great.

Difference between Husky and Stihl is that a Stihl makes about twice the torque a comparable Husky does. Husky engines also do not last as long because you have to wind them up to cut. Not so with a Stihl. That and having to wait a week to get parts for a Husky

I have owned probably 10 different saws, and run probably 30 others. Take my word for it. Also, the farm boss might be good for once a year or every other year use, but is a POS in my eyes.


I have run everything from a top handle arborist saw with a 12" bar to an 090 with a 5ft bar. Those little arborist saws are

Only yuppies and St Amant people say Stihl.......Husky and Red Max will run circles around a Stihl period. Stihl aren't German made anymore. Red Max is best saw I've ever used period and I've cut more trees down than everyone in this thread period.

I have the husqvarna and I really like it. Plenty of power, easy to clean and starts easily. Have run a lot of Stihls. Like those too. Air intake design is excellent on a Stihl.
