Cash usually works... (As does a question with enough information for an answer).
Is this another way of saying the best presidents are dead ones?

I think he's just lookin for a range of the best models... :msp_wink:Opinions are like ___oles; you know the rest. Without any qualifying or quantitative statements to use as discriminators this won't go far.
What size wood?
Hard or Soft wood? (Species you're cutting most often helps)
Frequency?
Duration?
Quantity?
Bar size(s)?
Budget?
All of these are relative and necessary questions to be answered to be able to answer your question capably. Anything else is just BS.
No offense intended.
How big of wood??

Well since you asked, I'll tell ya!
1: MS 261 C-M
2: MS 660

Low budget: 450 (its .1 Hp less than the 545 for $150 less) Yes its a homeowner model but we are talking low budget.
....
No beer for that one! oke::check:
:msp_smile:
It is also much lower build quality, and a little more weight.
SawTroll, not trying to start anything here but you sure have a lot of comments on this board about homeowner Huskys being low quality. Sure they aren't a pro saw but then again I certainly wouldnt classify them as low quality either.

Actually, he did say "lower" and if he says they are, I would trust him. To meet "consumer" market price points, many little things need to be cut to get the price down.
I said lower (as in lower than), not low! :msp_wink:
There can be a big difference between those words.
Actually it was "much lower" and he's made comments like that in other threads also. Again, not trying to start an argument here just looking for clarification. There's no doubt that he knows more about saws that I do.
If pro model Huskys are the "Crown Royal" of saws, saying something is "much lower" in quality to me is comparing it to $7 a liter bar swill. Obviously homeowner Huskys are not of that quality. Now that I've made a subjective comparison hopefully the thread doesn't get too derailed.
Back to my original response to the OP, I dont think a 545 priced around $500 is a budget saw. A $350 450 is in my opinion a good budget saw, and others might say a Walmart special is a good budget saw. Lots of opinions around here, but if you make a strong statement I see no problem with someone else asking for clarification.
Husqvarna makes a chainsaw? :msp_wink:
