Same here although I never owned one. We ran one an older Husky at work for awhile though, a 2 something series. Strong runner. I will say that their is a somewhat of husky slant here at AS that I see, (I'm very new here though) BUT I can see why. Most are great saws. I guess I'm beginning the CAD, cause there are a lot of good chainsaws out there, most brands and ages.:msp_w00t:
The 2 series huskys , are strong and fast . 3 series are arguably better because of quad porting . Time will tell about the autotunes , but they are strong .
IMO , the husky slant , may be in part , due to the fact that they seem to produce their peak hp at a slightly higher rpm , and they just plain scream :msp_wub: . Many users prefer the feel or torque of a stihl , for personal reasons .
In the real world though , pro husky or pro stihl models of similar displacement will be so close in cut times , that it really doesn't matter . ( God i hate to admit that ) :hmm3grin2orange:
