how wrong can a man be [/QUOTE]

Real Men are secure enough to never admit to being wrong, at least not in front of the Mrs anyhow.
Have a look at the Husky carry case, nice and square, easy to load and pack stuff around in the car, big enough to fit all you safety gear and spares as well as the saw.

Mind you, a bigger saw is nice if you have the means.

Go the Husky bloke you wont ever need another... They are awesome.

now Twitchy i think your getting a little carried away there

nice though.........

imagine the time you'd save cutting firewood

OK I have been watching with interest so now I will jump in.
I have had a Stihl 038 magnum for 13 years.
It has never stopped 50:1 stihl oil and stihl bar lube.
Cut hundreds of loads of firewood and fence posts.
Went through this conversation with a fellow farmer not that long back.
When we did the maths could not go past the 038 magnum.
These have a 20" bar and 72cc motor.
I am fairly sure these are still made in Brazil due to them not meeting the emmission laws.
No they are not cheap at around $1200 but the next step up to a 044 magnum is $1600
A lot of my friends have 038 Magnums and I have not heard of any breaking down.
Husky have open clutch which to me would gather a lot of dust causing premature wear.
A bloke from work swears by his husky but I don't think it comes close to the STIHL.

They are the cheapies made to a price for farmers,the only good sthils are the proffesional models which are heaps dearer!!!.
Get the husky they are real good.
We have 2 farmboss saws at work,horrible saws,I get real sore wrists from the vibrations,I take my own saw in for big jobs!!!
Early Echos are good,but the new stuff is questionable,I have an Echo twin cylinder I destroyed when stuck in a tree,got a spare saw to build 1 from the 2,worth big$$$ to collectors so wont be used mutch more when re-built.
My main saw is a Dolmar,615si.Neat saw plenty of grunt,real HP compared to the same size Sthils at work,and no vibration.This is the proffesional model,so a good saw.
My other saw is a Husky XP120,biggest they make,120cc of pure grunt,need to be a big fat barsteward like me to hang on,runs a 4ft bar like a 2ft bar on a normal saw.
Get a Husky you wont regret it,all my mates have them,and love them.
