|  Husqvarna Australia needs to RAISE their Expectations!
Like thousands I read the Australian Arbor Age. Husky run this ad in their ALL THE TIME, and it's worded that we (the reader) should RAISE OUR EXPECTATIONS! The ad is below.  Now lets take a closer look at this pic, in particular the cowboy cutting for the Husky pic. Notice that the guy only has one attachment point. Notice the guy is not only cutting above shoulder height but above helmet height. Oh please.

In the wording too it says to "lighten our load".  Maybe this guy too it literally and thats why he has no second TIP?  |

Personally for that tree I would have taken ms250/260+ style of saw not that thing! And if he ended up like the guy in this video he would not have had any stubs to catch him. http://www.treeworld.info/f7/hope-wa...html#post13308

heck my stihl dealer used to have a poster of a guy I won't say he's an arborist one handing a 200t in a situation where I know I could safley get 2 hands on it.it also said are you ready to quit playing with toys.He took it down when I asked him about it and showing people espically homeowners that one handing is okay with this saw.As for that picture I'd be willing to bet a newbie sees that and thinks its okay.
