I'm doing this just to see which one comes out on top.I've started to do it several times,but haven't just because I thought it was kind of a dumb idea...But WTH,I'm bored and it's too hot to go outside...Certain saws I favor husky and for others I favor Stihl.I own more Stihl's than Husky's...So I vote Stihl.I'm not close to a Dolmar or Jred dealer,so I can't speak for them..So if you could only have one brand,what would it be?

Well you ought to be happy since 90% of the votes will be for ORANGE saws!!! :biggrinbounce2: Thankfully, none of them combine it with purple.

Stihl for me. I hate to admit that because I like being different. But in this case, being different doesn't pay.

Husqvarna here. I never can understand why you need to clean a air filter every other tank on the stihls. I like maybe once every 2 1/2 gals with teh husky.

a look at every manf poll started here will show Stihl as a far and away winner, though imo they lately have a better PR dept than product in many cases, they are still a very solid dependable manufacturer.

This poll is predjudiced..

I dont see

POULAN

McCulloch

TANAKA

HOMELITE

If this poll was taken 30-40-50 years ago you would have seen these saw except for Tanaka. The old Homies and Macs and of course the old two man cross cuts built this country. Sad to say it ain't so anymore. I like my Stihls, but still like to hear the old ones roar.
