Based on a bit of quick research, it looks like the Homelite 850, 870 and 925 are all about the same saw, just made at different times, and all about 5 HP. I see a BUNCH of 925s on Ebay, and a lot of them look like they have barely been used. I suspect there may be a reason for this, but I'm still curious. Are these saws typically worth having, or should one remain faithful to the mighty 066?
Years ago, my dad used to run a lot of 850s and 870s, until the debut of the state-of-the-art Stihl 050/051. He was selling used 090Gs in good shape for $25 each, because nobody would run one. If I had only known the prices they bring today....
