Not the saws fault! Hahaha

Many people try to exert maximum pressure on the bar rather than letter the chain cut its way through, then all you get is a four foot lever acting on two studs trying to split the crankcase in two

There are a few setup tricks and operational techniques to help with longevity, master them and the bar and saw lasts a lifetime.

The 385xp and 395xp in the pics are very old saws, I just take very good care of them.

The GB Titanium harvester bar is worth every cent and a razor sharp chain is a must, top quality sharpening techniques and gear the only option.

Average gear running over 50 inches of bar only disappoints.

Send me a pm if you need any info.

That is absolutely cheating. Wicked.

Not cheating, just doing it smart (must be a south island thing )

i brought my husky 2nd hand about 15 years ago, never had to do anything other than the standard service, ive got mates that are both abourists and forestry workers each to their own ive always been told still are a better saw but noone can tell me why i always wanted a still but my husky turned up for the right price and ive never looked back, end of the day its how you look after them, my old man had a firewood bussiness back in the 70's and brought a poulan, 4 decades later still has it and it still goes strong.

Without wanting to create a fight sometimes this comparison is like the 223 debate i.e. you can't shoot stags or deer with them because they are too small.Most saws[whatever the model] react well to care and being sharpened properly including the rakers.

Sthil all day. working for a guy doing firewood in the holidays and after using a husky all day then jumping on the bosses sthil for a bit, the sthil was miles better

Sthil all the way, when I managed a arborist company we had 30 + from 060t to a 880 now that was a awesome saw until you hit bomb shrapnel, then you had a lot of sharpening.
