My first big saw was a husky,or I should say my first saw over 70cc's.I know I'll never have just one brand,but what has really turned me against husky in the last few years is all of a sudden you can buy one from just about any arborist supply catalog,to mention Lowes,Tractor Supply and Northern Hydraulics...Though you're not likely to find a 3120 or a 395 at the box stores..I just like to know that whatever I buy has been carefully set-up and I like to know I can deal with someone face to face if I have a problem..As I've said before,my dealer sells both,but he is talking about dropping husky's for two reason..
1..They just aren't moving like they used to,more people are buying Stihl's.
2...Husky forces him to order a certain dollar amount of inventory every year,and he ends up having to sell some things for not much above cost.....
A few months ago I might have picked husky,but once I heard this from him it's really made me look the other way
