 What kind of Chainsaw to buy

I have always used Stihl saws. Currently I primarily use a 026 pro which is a very popular saw. Light and powerfull. The huskys also have a huge following and I have considered a 357. The best advice on a saw is get one that is comfortable to you, but I personally would stick with one of theese two brands. Up north where my property is Stihl is ptetty much the only brand. So If I drop something in the dirt or a need a part they are available at a local hardware store.

 What kind of Chainsaw to buy

Homedad, I have never owned a husky but from all of the Stihl Vs. Husky banter I have seen on other sites They seem to have a dedicated following. Its a bit like endless debate of orange Vs. green, only in this case they are bith nearly the same color so no one argues about paint, Laughing out loud. I think bith are the top dogs in the chains saw world but that certyainly does not mean there the only good ones. Popularity really seems based on market saturation. In greater Detroit I think Lowes sells Husqvarna but it's tough to find a parts/service dealer here, at least compared to Stihl which is immmensly popular throughout the state.

Home Dad, Yup I was a little lost on that one reading post on other web sites for quite a while. Try takeing a peek at the husqvarna web site and by the way I have absolutely NO idea weather or not I am spelling that right. Laughing out loud. It is especially easy to confuse due to there actually being a HUSKY brand of tools that the Tractor Supply Company and I think Home Depot carry although to my knowledge they do not like make chain saws. I also like the Echo brand but for reasons already mentioned I personally stayed away from them on a chain saw. If I was just cutting at home close to the city they probably would have been my first choice. It is my understanding that Echo uses chrome plated Pistons, rings and cylinders and Stihl only does on their Pro lines which is one of the reasons I chose the 026 pro over the 026. I also like the decompression valve for easier starting. I have a echo weed whipper that is 8 years old and runs like a top. I wish I could count the hours on that one ! I only switched to Stihl weed whippers becuase of the quick change shat that allows me to use the same power head and change to a edger.
