    Well... this will be the second night the Stihl has spent in the Husqvarna case, so far they've played nicely... The matching Husqvarna Power-Box that's under the Super holds my muffler modded Echo CS-400, kinda funny, two Husky cases, with no Husky's in them...

    I spent 2 1/2 hours this afternoon running my Husky 181 SE (32" bar), brought down a huge oak at a friend's farm, and cut that up. Any thoughts of the 028 Super being heavy have been greatly displaced by the monster that I ran today, going to sleep like a baby tonight...
    Echo CS370 (My Son's saw)
    Husqvarna 346XPG (Go-To saw)
    Husqvarna 351 (In pieces, Project saw )
    Husqvarna 350 (My other Son's saw)
    Stihl 036 (the other "Go-To saw)
    Husqvarna 394XP (When nothing else fits...)
    Stihl MS260 Pro (Something new to me to try - have to put it up against my 346XP)

    Like what has been said many many times here on AS
    Once you run a modified saw you'll never go back to a stock chain saw ever again !


    Some people need thick skin

    Those that declare that they (029/290) won't hold up bc of the lack of pro design
    are merely ill-informed or are ignorant.

    It doen't look good to anyone else I guess, except maybe for a few "brand fans".
