reeeaaallllllyyy?????????? Who's gripeing?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????all i've ever seen you do here is try to start a pissin' match.
Stihl's great, husky's junk, dolmar's crap. The list goes on.
I'll give it to ya, stihl makes a good saw. But what about all those 2100's, 285's, 288's, 60's etc. Etc. Etc. That are still running.
You'd probably gripe if we hung you with a new rope.

i sometimes wonder if in really harsh conditions if a remote back pack or belt mounted filter would help . i sometimes use a remote filter for spraying and they are not that big a hassle . be easy enough to work out a quick connect tube with a spring loaded flapper valve to close it off when the remote filter is not being used . could be handy on a mill or some of the big dry logs .
even on the coast i often need to clean the filter every second tank on my 460 , currently thinking of getting maxi flow from baileys to see if that helps , put a new stihl filter on last week but it could be better . old dead hard wood on the ridges here will take the edge of a chain pretty quick and even very sharp will still send out a lot of fine sawdust . i generally blow all my saws clean with a compressor at the end of every day and have to clean bars regularly as fine sawdust clogs oiler feed . cut up a dense ridge grown bloodwood yesterday that is only 25" across but hard as hell , starting to wonder if it has been hit by lightening and baked, will take the 660 and see if it likes it better.
all you aussies do is whine about your stihl saws. if they are such a bad saw, then why do continue to buy them? i am not trying to start a pissing match here. all we hear is the price is too high,crappy filtration,junk this,junk that. i run all stihl saws,but we sell husky,and i work on husky saws. i can buy them at dealer cost,but i continue to run stihl. in your opinion if stihl is junk,then what is husky?? go buy a husky and run that,then you will know just how it is to own a poor piece of equipment. huskys' are fast,but they will NEVER equal stihl in quality or durability. they have poor marketing,no dealer support,and the parts network is a joke. they have 3 all new models coming out,and they are worse than the ones they are replacing. look at all the 028,034,044,056,076,084 still cutting out there. huskys' are in the dumpster when they are 4-5 yrs. old.
Sounds like Australian wood is either petrified or somehow mineralized. So the trees are that much different from those here in the States?
Would a carbide tipped chain be a useful investment in wood like that?
We have hedge, or osage orange, as it is called. Amazing firewood, and it won't rot when used for fencing posts. Tough on chains, esp. when dead standing for a while. A buddy of mine made an electric cello out of the stuff.
It does look unique, that's for sure.

Both my 372's are older than seven years and cut more than twenty stihls. They are pretty much flawless. My 395 is newer never a problem the only husky I have had problems with is my 2101 and it is just starter dogs and is a 80 model. My 200T stihl already has issues in less than a year I will fix it with a new carb I hope but no way a stihl even compares to husky's quality until you get to their low end box store saws.
I can agree with all of that except the ones better than the other part. I like to think a man can't go wrong with either. My 066 which I sold to my boss just because my CAD told me I needed a new 660, never had one day of downtime in 16yrs. Had two trees dropped on it and has been erked from my hand pinched in a tree ad thrown of a 10 ft bank. Never any damage except a crank in the rear handle.
Stihl and Husky make quality saws. I can't honestly say one is any better than the other. I run Husky's too though, at work. Thinking about a 372. Will prolly have one in the future.
Maybe you can't I know thal a hoss live close lol , but
I can, pro husky is better than stihl.:hmm3grin2orange:
hey rick have you got the janka thingy for mulga, cant think of the botanical name. that stuffs hard enough to give a dozer a flat track when it splinters. i wont cut it with any of my saws. i use a mates concrete saw with a carbide blade.
