The regulars here know how I feel about this saw, it stinks. In my book it's one of the worst saws ever built.
This comes from a guy who has worked with saws his whole life. More than twenty years of daily saw running.
The 026 is an underpowered, slow to build revs, carpel tunnel machine, that is outdated. There is no other saw made today, that I can think of, that vibrates the crap out of you, while at the same time, makes almost no power. It's weight is good, for a boat anchor!
We have a few Husky 336's that are lighter, cut faster, vibrate less, have aircleaners that actually work, real chokes, big handles, kill switches that last more than a month, fuel caps that last the life of saw, about one millionth the vibration, throttle response that allows you to reach full speed before you run out of gas, and almost no gyroscopic pull.
If you diagree with me, make me an offer on an 026 I have with about 10 hours and adjustable carb, I think it's a 1998.
