Oregon makes good bars and chains; they even make them for husquarna and jonsered, with subtle differences, they use better steel for both of them than what they use for the oregon brand, and they use really poor paint on the "jonsered" bars... :2cents: :wave:

But it makes more sense than the suburbanite that "had a Homelite for 20 years and never had a problem with it".
It's not for people that .........actually do stuff??
FYI: I own 4 saws. All Stihl.

Electric saws would not last in my industry.

Don't you mean lower quality steel for the Husky and Jonsered bars? I have seen many Husky bar completely obliterated (split in half like a piece of wood), but not an Oregon bar. More flat filing of a Husky bar as well. Even the chains are of poorer quality.
Only Oregon bars and chains here.
If you could get a 70cc for $450 thats a good deal. Thats about the same size as my 044 Stihl and I gave more than that for it over 10 years ago. Thats the same size as a Stihl 441 or a Husky 576 and either would be $800 here. It should be a good fast saw for the farm. I still don't think I would buy one for the log woods.M5farm":vr26gro4 said:I ordered the full time forestry use 70 cc. They don't have them in stores. I went by the still dealer todayand gave him the specs for a comparable stihl. Right at 700 bucks and everything else was the same.
