Hi there I just bought a Husky 257..
have a question anybody familiar with this saw?
1.Any common issues with it?
2.How to check lifespan of engine ?
I plan to keep for long time and I am just homeowner who rarely using chainsaw..
Any parts do I have to buy for future proof?
 
I bought one that I used as a backup my Stihl MS 361. It became the regular. After I used it for 12 years I finally went back to the Stihl this past fall. Only complaint I have is that it takes about 10 choke pulls to cold start it. Starts immediately when warm but starting it cold is tough. That could be a Husqvarna trait.

I think you will like this saw.
