Stihl heads.....and I am one....

[Csfrank2500]

Stihl will always be first, a logger friend lent me a few of his huskys (395,390,372). I guess trying to get me to go over to the "DARK" side. but I will have to say that if i found one for cheap i would probably go with it for a spare.

I like this thread. Good fun and some jokes.

All jokes aside, I am a Stihlhead. I can't help it. I guess it's bred in me. It's all I've ever used. I have used some Huskys too, and they just don't fit me. I will say that they are awesome saws though.

The 7900 is the only Dolmar I've ran, and I have to say that yea, it fits me well and I love the way it runs. I will have one one of these days.

Just because I'm biased toward Stihl, does'nt mean I can't give credit to a good saw when I see it. The Husky 346 and 372 are two that I have ran and loved. I admit the 346 runs and fits better than my 260.

I just love saws. All saws.

Can't wait to show you cats the mint 038 Mag I bought today. 1991 model, fresh and clean!!! I'll post the thread with pics tomorrow. Just got done with the teardown/cleanup.

I would run Solo and Huskow or whatever I could get my hands on and get serviced Jonsered perhaps

 

[Highclimber OR]

Of course I'd rather be servicing my Stihl as opposed to running a Huskow

Matt isn't so bad.

It could've been worse, your Mum could've named you Gloss just so people could take a shine to you.......

Or Matt Black...

Well I own 3 Dolmars now...and I know now its my 2nd choice..and might be 1st but I didnt say that.

My favorite saw shop only has Stihl or Husky,so Husky would be my second choice for a 50cc plus saw,for smaller saw i prefer a Poulan from some big box store,especially the wild thing,but I was thinkin' about that Echo top handle they was sellin' at Home Depot,too,maybe.

I like my stihl 361 as much as I like my husky 335xpt. Heck, I even enjoy running my old mac 610 once in a while. It all comes down to the ford vs chevy debate. Which saw do YOU really like.

 

[JJay03]

I havnt ran a ton of different saws but I favor a good stihl. Just from what I read on here some other saws I think I would like though would be the 346xp, ps7900, and the 372xp.

I don't know...do they still make the Wild Thing?

Yup! Got some at the local WallyWorld here in town....you want me to pick you up a couple?

Stihl Last!!

When the sun came up this Moday and the damage from the tornado was evident I went and pulled my 266/272 ,and the Ech0 302S and the Olympic 935 off the shelf.
The one Stihl I do own is 150mi. away and I NEVER miss it, as it is still in the closet!
I ran three gallons of mix in a day and a half and no problems from any of them.
No body had any thing other than Poulans and a couple of newer Echos.
Most of the downed trees were bradford pears and some willow and ash and a few mesquite and I am not really sure what they were .
Fortunately no one was injuried, just trees, fences and 2 or 3 roofs torn off.

You know the Dolmars are first for me buddy.

 

[Csfrank2500]

I did it, I went to the dark side.(I'll take my beating). I picked up a Husky (394) to add to my collection. Got it for cheap and in the process of fixing it up just to run the **** out of it. ( It will have a Stihl bar on it that has to count for something!)


On a serious note:
I want to send my prayers to those that were in the path of the tornado.

I'd better pass on the WildThing for now...getting too many saws in the garage right now, don't have much room left.
