I would have to go with Dolmar, but I won't be getting rid of my 372 any time soon.
If you could only have one brand

Another one on the bridge
As I've said before, I'm lucky to have a good selection of dealers 'regionally' that cover most of the bases.
As it stands, I have one more Stihl than Husky, but of those few I have, they have earned their keep.
OTOH I was in the neighborhood and dropped in to see Tony @ Amick's this morning... I oogled all over the Stihl wall, but fondled a Dolmar 7900 and 401. I saw some Husky and Redmax saws nearby too, but the 7900 got the most fondling. He couldn't sell me a saw, but I did snag a face-screen/earmuff dealie to cut brush & whack weeds with.
If I had to get all OPE from one brand, it'd be Stihl, and I doubt I'd ever be disappointed... but since I'm not locked into just one, I ain't ashamed to mix it up a bit...

AAAHHHH!!! not the old ones...they were just bulletproof workhorses. And man were they LOUD!! They sounded and smelled like a saw should. Always could depend the used plugs (at least one a week) for fishing weights. Them was the days....

Woody you should getcha a 7900 and I'll tell you why in four words, ITS A BAD MOFO. That saw for its weight and size has no peer, one cutting mother that saw is. Since you got Tony right there dealer support won't be a issue so get one and stop picking up the merchandise unless your gonna buy it, messing with ya. I'm serious about the 7900 though, its a cutting machine, no question about it...

Would it matter? If you only got one brand... it ain't no better or no worse than the competition. Its that saw, or one a little bigger or a little smaller.
My husky starts and runs just fine, so do my stihls.
I just have a 357xp and a 372xp instead.
Or, I'd have a 260 instead.

:jester: Tom. I hear ya on the more buying - less fondling... nothing irks a salesman more than a beback they've spent good time on. OTOH I did buy something and I didn't pester the man any while I was browsing. (He was busy.)
If I ever get up to NoVA with some spending money, I'll ease in & poke around, and see what sort of hard sell you can lay on...

You don't need to bring spending money or buy anything to stop by, just come on in. You can join the rest of the ole timers who stop in and chat a spell and never spend a penny. Don't let me know your carrying a Visa though, step here in the back room with me,:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

Can't have one brand, never ever. STIHL makes the best topping saw period & the Husqvarna rar handle saws run smoother.

If you are in the area, it would be worth the time to check out ole Tom. He is a great guy and knows the Stihl products very well.

I've talked to THALL many times over the phone..There ain't too many others who know more about tuning and fixing saws...I'll definately check his place out next time I'm up there
