I just got a Husky 262xp as a replacement for a poulan pro 295....I was feeling a little bad about that, as the husky was way more saw than the PP.
I loaned the PP to my BIL's father, who straight gassed it, and got me the Husky as a replacement. I got a chance to see it today, its not bad, the plastic is faded, and it's down to 140 lbs. comp. but starts right up, and runs well.
I don't have a mid size saw, and was curiouos about them, but my BIL's nieghbour saw it before I did, and when I got to his house,the nieghbour offered me an 026 and $225 for the Husky.
The 026 is perfect.
The cylinder still has crisp cross hatching, and 170 lbs comp. There is not a mark on it. It has a 20" bar, and 3/4 of the origonal chain. He wanted a saw that could pull a bigger bar, as he is cutting good sized wood.
Was this a mistake? I already have an 024super, but this saw was just so pretty ( a saw can be pretty, right? ). Did I rip him off? Did I make a bad deal? I'm not sure, but I'm pretty happy about the new saw
