Through the encouragement of the excellent participants on this forum, I felt compelled to grab a Stihl to be enlightened to the wonderments of that fine piece of machinery. I was "old school" preferring to remain with my old Homelites (they are still great saws and work well). The Stihl MS-460 has been a delight and I am not done with Stihl. There will be more in the stable (looking for one to put a bow on) in the future, but in the meantime, it may be time for a Husky. Danged Huskies used to give me fits on the motocross and scrambles tracks in District Six, so maybe I should pay attention to their saws. My question is which Husky. I currently run the Stihl 460 25" b&c, an Echo 670 20" b&c, a Poulan 3700 (bow), a Homelite Super Wiz 66 (bow), a Homelite XL-12 16" b&c, a Homelite Super Mini VI 16" b&c, and an Echo 300 for trimming the old fruit trees. What Husky model would fit in with this pack of mongrels. I would not use it for felling. It would wear a 18 to 20" b&c of 3/8 pitch, .050 gauge. I am not fond of .325 chain. Primarily, I would grab the saw for limbing fallen stuff and bucking-up stuff (instead of grabbing the bow mounted saws). I always take two saws with me, but I am thinking that a Husky should be one of the two, at least some times. I have absolutely no experience with Husky. I ran most brands of saws, but Husky was never at my disposal. I am crawling out of my skin being curious. I am thinking "I have got to have one". I think it is beyond a want. It's bordering on a "need". What has happened to me?
