    There's a good reason he's not using a husky. Cause they have real power and will take his head off.

    Stihil, about as good as a shaver...

    Hes using a Stihl because a Husky would break down half way through the job and leave him looking like a muppet, although hanging onto a Husky has that effect anyway

    The best chainsaw is probably one that hasn't been under a komatsu d65.

    Few new parts and she'll be singing that sweet song again, and injury like that would be certain death for a lesser saw

    Yes it is salvageable.But with a dozen other stihls I am in no hurry to fix this one.It will be cheaper to get the parts in overseas than the silly prices we pay here for them.Same with saws for that matter.

    Some of you may have been fooled into thinking that stihls are good, but they are not that good.
    Nope that went all the way under.The ground was soft after the rain on the weekend so helped cushion a little. Anything husky would have faired worse!!!!

    When I was in the bush ... twenty plus years ago .... the husky ignition wire was a monthly replacement and the kickback mechanism would vibrate the expensive side cover to bits. After a couple of months we would cut the kick back lever off. Expensive to run.

    Had a new saw...provided by a good boss...after the standard few months it began to rattle so cut the kickback mechanism off...a week later...boom.... a massive kickback in the face.

    Haven't recommended Husky's since...I hope some of their designs have improved.
