Missing: Olympyk, RedMax, J-red, Homelite, Shindaiwa, Tanaka, MacCulluch, Craftsman, John Deere, Makita, and Poulan.

Then the really old names, like Comet, David Bradley, yadda yadda...

I believe Olympyk is history, the "better" Emak brands are now Efco and Oleo-Mac.....

newguy18 · 21st January 2008, 06:25 AM

i couldn't fit all of those if i wanted to as the poll only lets you have 10 options

quercus · 21st January 2008, 08:32 AM

this kinda proves my case....But lately I'm looking at a few Husky's too...
I've got a job commin ' up wich will require two 880's, but since I heard a lotta BS about it... I'm lookin' at the 3120 XP...

newguy18 · 21st January 2008, 09:11 AM

send me an email at goateater64@hotmail.com.I know where to find one with a 36" bar for 1200 bucks.

newguy18 · 21st January 2008, 09:50 AM

quercus come to the orange side.

JohN Dee · 21st January 2008, 01:24 PM

Oooh, I didn't notice that before quercus... You have the polesaw harness. What does that go for? I tried it with the 4 stroke pole pruner on at GreenX 2006 and it was great.. They said they were bringing em' into Australia yet a year later we finally have the 4 stroke Pole pruner but no harness... (That's based off my local dealer & his knowledge)

Back on topic, I think my favorite is Stihl but I really like the Husky's too. We run mainly Stihl's with a Husky 365 (Great saw IMO). But at class All the rear handle saws were husky aswell as the majority of top handles with a Few 192's and 200's in there. That's where I picked up my liking for Husky's.

newguy18 · 21st January 2008, 02:42 PM

i've had both stihl and husky tore down and i repaired and i think husky are better built machines but in my opinion should be tore completely down and cleaned really good.
