What saw is the best? Husky, Stihl, McCulloch, Homelite, Echo, Pioneer, Dolmar?

I actually like the 2 series and the 3 series and have worked on both and ported both. I favor the 390 setup on the inboard clutch like a Stihl . I dont care for that wacky throttle cable system in the rear handle of the 390 but everything else seems very soild to me. Maybe the bottomend doesnt have a rep on holding up but then again too most folks run 50to1 instead of 32to1

Husqvarnas are made in Sweden and well, I'm Swedish. I prefer orange over red due to the fact that Jonsered handles are straight, huskies are curved and the flag doesn't kill my knuckles every time I try to start it. Jonsered's do!

Husqvarna
Because "I owe my soul to the company store"

There really and truely wasn't a better way to skin a Cat.

West Coast thinning was the game
And number two hundred and sixty six was her name.
Walkerized with the A/M K&N high filter sitting under an all blue A/M cover that said 'Eliminator' how cool with a 16" display full on. I didn't even have to start it up it was so scary the trees would part themselves. Oh you laugh...you ****en' laughin' now. By early '95 I had the 52mm under that cap.

Anyone have any pics or own one of those caps or past history I would like to here from you.
You could verify my story...you know the one about the trees moving aside

I had one of those West Coast 266`s but passed it along a few years back. John did a bit of thinning/spacing out there, claims he ran 266`s also. High top blue covers and AM filters were the rage, tape the throttle open and let er roar.

I choose husky, for the ease of maintaining, ergonomics, performance and they are always bringing something new to the table I can't live without!
