Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster...
In looking to buy a saw for all around use. I had a husky 41 for years and long story short I had to give it to my dad. So ive been cruising the local sites looked for a used saw. Would love to find a good deal on a pro saw but never see any posted and honestly I don't "need" a pro saw for my occasional use although most of the other power equipment I have for using at my house and rental is professional quality stuff like high end shindaiwa string trimmers, stihl blower, etc
So I've found two saws that look to be in good shape an older 55 and a 450. I know these are comparable but I'm curious which you guys would prefer. Is newer better? Or does the EPA b.s. give the older saw the edge?
