    Stihl MS251 vs. Echo or Husky Equivalent?

    I wouldn't hesitate on a MS250 for general cleanup and some firewood cutting of some smaller logs, up to 12". Just picked one up and it does what it should. Not so sure about "pro" saws these days, EPA seems like they've taken the joy out of price point and longevity. I'm not so sure the way...

    Husky 550 xp dies mid cut?

    I had high hopes after my last two Huskys ran for 25 years flawlessly. Haven't gotten the 550 back from the service shop yet, for the second time in two tanks of gas total since purchase, I know he's tied to doing what Husky warranty department tells him to fix next. He told me last time he had...

    Husky 550 xp dies mid cut?

    Thank you sake, I'm not sure if either one of my dealers are up to snuff, so I'm hoping for the best and in the meantime out of work because of it. In two more businesses days I will have lost more than the overpriced cost of the saw in lost time at work. Now I know why guys have 5-7 saws...

    Husky 550 xp dies mid cut?

    Well, it must be my time now to own a lemon. After reading this thread I thought wow I'm sure glad my new 550xp only has the dreaded bog and stall off idle.....until I got it back from the dealer. Now, a brand new saw with not even two tanks of gas run through it has the bog off idle, or...

    I was steered away from the homeowners Husky saws from both husky service places here, but both spoke highly of the 550

    Looking for a thinnig saw, 45-50 cc. or so

    Ok folks, I went with a 550XP. Wasn't concerned about the money as much as the longevity and reliability. Ran a half tank of gas through it yesterday and it's a screamin demon for sure. I did a side by side comparison between the 241 and 550 and while the 241 was a tad lighter, the 550...

    Looking for a thinnig saw, 45-50 cc. or so

    Thanks all for your replies. This will be a new purchase, not interested in saving money if it keeps me from doing what I have to get done. I'm most of the way through cutting out a new disc golf course here in North Idaho, about 25 days of cutting including a bit last November until...

    Looking for a thinnig saw, 45-50 cc. or so

    Hello all, I've been reading this site for some time, thanks to all the contributors. I own a Husky 51, 61 and now a Stihl 180(my limber). My main thinning saw is the 51 and on it's last legs. I use to thin in Alaska and found the 51 to be just the right size. My question is what to replace it...
