Am I late?

[Dave Shepard]

I'm a Stihl fan, but I've got a 394xp that I really like, and have used a couple other "pro" series Husky's that I liked. I've used some smaller, newer ones that aren't very exciting, however. Really awkward for me, to be honest. I would rate the 394 as one of the nicest saws I've used, right there with the 066's.

 

[stehansen]

I agree Jay. Only jack-booted fascists use stihls.

Sieg Heil!

follow steve boys!!

Yous guys are definitely on a roll... Left... Left... Left right left

I must have eclectic taste or sumpin, or I'll settle for just being known as a "worldly man", if you be so kind....my point is that both Husky and Stihl made/make saws that leave something to be desired, and also made/make some great saws. You guys who claim vast superiority of one over the other, I don't see how you can be so judgmental without having tried out a wide range of models. I haven't worked with so many Huskys, but I've found a few that really rock my cradle.

 

[stehansen]

These Husky guys are so sensitive. I've never had one but Brian and some other guys use them so they must work good. My contract climber guy had a 200T, but all of his larger saws were huskys and I used them a few times and they worked really good. My Stihl dealer also carries husky but I see no reason to go there. Since I have my tractor loader I don't use the larger saws near as much, so they should last a really long time.

 

[Newfie]

These Husky guys are so sensitive.

I think it is just the opposite. We are confident in our choice of saw. No need to go beating our chests and putting down the competition.

Steve- it's not that Husky makes great saws, but they have 3-4 very good models which are at or near the top of their respective class. Just as there's only a few Stihl models I'd consider buying. Each model has to stand on it's own merits.

 

[stehansen]

Hey one of your own just "outted" you guys with his self description as eclectic, and worldly man. And you know I'm just kidding right? Is outted spelled with two t's or one?

 

[MasterBlaster]

One t.

 

[stehansen]

Thanks.

From my experience the 046 doesn't need a backup.

 

[GASoline71]

That is true Steve... I would love to have an 046/460 as well. But out of all the Husqvarnas made... I want a 372XP.

[SkwerI]

Gary, I'll give you one of mine if you sell me your pick'em up truck.

 

[GASoline71]

As is??? truck no run.

sheesh people, laugh a little or the economy wont recover:roll:

 

[Newfie]

And you know I'm just kidding right?

Absolutley, I think we all are kidding.

 

[woodworkingboy]

My crazy priest friend, who takes about the worst care of his saws that is possible, keeps bringing his 372XP to me to be looked at....usually just bar and chain stuff. Awesome saw, I keep thinking how I can not have to give it back. Hard to do the, "Not worth repairing", for just a buggered up chain.

 

[Newfie]

Tell him it passed on to a better place. It wouldn't be a total lie.

 

[woodworkingboy]

"Passed on to a better place".....you have a lot of compassion, Newfie

 

[bump_r]

Good to see you, Tzed250 - you will like it here. At least I hope you do.

 

[Tzed250]

It has been great!!
