It is amazing how many of us have been working hard to find a saw that beats the Stihl 026 PRO. That includes Stihl owners and me. I found the Husky 353, just in time before production of it stopped. One of my two Husky 350's will stay with it. As long as big logs are not involved, it's the go-to saw for me. But, i stilll get a kick out of running my Stihl O26 PRO that never ceases to beg for attention.
