Definately new on the shelf. Cause we all know they won't last long enough to get the filter dirty.:jawdrop:

The problem with homeowners is that they don't know how to sharpen a chain. With sharp chains, I agree with Woodie on the 6 months cleaning interval on a 2171. That is compared to once a day on the 026.

I get some chains for free from a guy who doesn't know how to sharpen them He has a 024 and he changes chain without using the tensioning mechanism! Don't know how but he does it.
YEA OK... Maybe if the jonsverna is a shelf queen

According to Red no matter what it is: feature set, longevity, durability, etc Echo wins hands down. As long as we take him with a grain a salt it may be refreshing learning a bit about the echo product line. Since I've been around here there has never been a real big echo advocate.However I do have a problem with RED-85-Z51 referring to the 55 Rancher as a glorified throw-away Poulan. This mag case beauty is super dependable and has been around in production for a long time. In fact I've still got mine - in fact Red-85 is only 5 years older than my saw according to his profile!
Wow Peter, a comment on the 026. How typical.

That's cool - Al
It's just a Husky 55 Rancher....what's the big deal?
Those are just glorified Poulans anyways...throw it away and buy another.
Wow ! That's terrible maintennance or rather NO MAINTENNANCE! The idiot should be slapped up-side the head.

So let's try to train the goofballs but don't necessarily blame the saws - - no matter the brand!

Actually, I prefer my Echo trimmer to Stihl or Poulvarna.
Ive got a Husqvarna 55 at work, and it is different than the 55 Rancher. The old 55 is a decent saw, runs great although it pulls a little hard. The 55 rancher as in the pics above is no better than the 350, or whatever other husky stuff they sell at Lowes.
The flimsy little air filters cleary clog easily, but instead of impeding performace and forcing maintainance, the saw simply sucks dirty air from around the filter element. That is a throw away saw trait.
We have an older Husky at work, Ill try and get a picture one day. It is a top handle saw, muffler on the right, choke o nthe top....like the poulan XXV...in fact it IS a poulan XXV. It is totally identical except it is orange, not green.

Awesome!
What ya got?
SRM-210, 260, 311???
Wow, that air filter looks just like the one on the MS660 I sold, after a good day of cutting. :jawdrop: Everyone knows the air filtration on the Huskies are far better than Stihl but you have to clean the filters regardless of the brand name.
Srm-3100 I think, too cold to go out and check for this reason......
Makes most Stihls I work on look like IDC/Ryans, like, like the fs 36.........
Or those silly 45/46/55s......., or even the newer style fs80s
