[QUOTE="hillbilly beef man, post: 276356, member: 4786"] We used a Husky 55 on our farm for years with no trouble. Easy to start and light for power; overall very well built. Probably the best small saw we have had. Had to be replaced after an unfortunate incident with an 11 ton dozer. And I thought they were tough? :D We needed a larger saw for clearing land. Went with a Stihl 440 because we could get it worked on locally. Seems to be built as well and starts as easy as the 55 husky. Very good saw. We then bought a 280 Stihl to replace the demolished 55. IMO not as good a saw as the old 55. Harder to start and don’t run as smooth, even with several trips to the dealership for tuning. Used a 260 pro at my old job and it was as good as the larger 440. I will probably buy one of these for a small saw after the 280 wares out. If you need a large saw, go with a Stihl. Any of there professional series are the best that I have used. If you need a smaller saw, go with what you can have worked on locally. [/QUOTE]
