[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1299269, member: 9096"] So where should I start here?? I like huskys.. MUCH nicer to work on than Stihls, and I like the ergonomics better.. I think in quality they're about equivalent (pistons/cylinders often manufactured in the same place) Each one has a little quirks or flaws that the other got right.. My lineup is something like this (*) denotes a 'project' that is running but needs a little love for huskys 35 (Frontier) Tophandle 2x 61 (one is crazy build of mine. LOVE the thing, and give 100cc saws a run for their money) 5x L65's in various states of tune, from stock to crazy 3x 2100's (*) A bunch more coming my way soon.. a 288 and a 3120 I'm hoping Stihls 064.. I do like the feel and power of that saw.. they got the ergonomics to feel like a husky 038* 028* Ford (O&R) tophandle saw Homelite XL12 Also am fixing up an old "Titan Blue streak" 2 man saw.. 2 cylinder, 48" bar with helper handle for a friend I think the old poulans are OK, but I have a pile of 4218's that didn't outlast the original chain.. absolute garbage now... I like Jonsereds.. .the old 920's are a real powerhouse... I've heard good things about Echo, never had one though. I hear good things about the Makita/Dolmar saws as well... Old McCullochs, Pioneers, etc are good to hang on the wall, but nothing more Here's my crazy husky 61 with a 34" bar [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIk8tc20L7g]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIk8tc20L7g[/url] This is my done up underdog Husky L65 [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMqUESZUwXU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMqUESZUwXU[/url] Here's my friend's Jonsered 920 I did up for him [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy7IE3cm4rM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy7IE3cm4rM[/url] I showed a fellow how to sharpen his saw, it was a nice new husky 550.. that thing was really nice!..
