wtf?
I can't fathom what kind of models and experiences you've had with Husky's to be that outspoken.This isn't one of those,"the chain keeps flying off the bar assessments is it?.:msp_wink:

No never had a chain come off. :smile2:
One of the guy's that I cut wood with has a couple of husky's, when we go to cut wood together we start out fine, before the day is over we finish up the work day with my Stihl's.
His husky's always seem to break down, or won't start at all.
They may be a great saw, problem is I've never seen a good one.

that's unfortunate
I have no favorite saw.I've worked in the landclearing business since 1975.Prior to using fellerbunchers(1981),everything was cut with saws.ACRES.Saw in hand ,one tree to the next as fast as possible.I've owned in excess of 100 saws.Saws were critically important for felling valuable logs and constant cutting at the chipper on the landing. Having made a living in the whole tree chipping business since 1975,There has been untold saw useage.Productivity/dependability are huge when your income is dependent on the tools used.My go to saws were Husqvarnas since 1975 when I bought my first 380CD.I've owned a mountain of Stihl saws from the days of 031,041,045etc.,etc.I know a lot of serious competitors who ran Stihl's with great success.I'd say that maintenance and more importantly the art of sharpening a saw is more important than saw brand.The top manufacturers have produced impressive saws that, with a rare exception, are examples of fine engineering.I've got to say that in the 40 years of doing this ,I've seen about 20 men that really knew how to sharpen chain well.

I've never had a problem keeping them running, maybe you should look at your dumb friend instead of the saw.

I know what your saying man this Husky is a POS. I cant keep it from completly destroying every tree that gets in its way.When it gets hot it wont start, oh wait a min yes it does cause I didnt choke it hot lol:yoyo: your statements are a joke. Its ok I didnt want to believe that a Husky could be this badass but its true. The AV, air filtration, oiler, overall feel is better then any Stihl Ive ran I hate to say it but its true.

This has been a typical trend over the last few years, lots of Stihlheads have seen the light.

I dont have much to say about that.:msp_scared:
I hear this all the time, and the said Husky is usually a 235 or a 455 that looks like it was dragged behind a truck before the person decided to cut the roots on stump in the front yard.
Never met anyone that said "Ya this 372, 346, 390 ect. is a pos".
But stick with what works for you. After all thats all that matters, what YOUR comfortable with.
I'd still be running my XL2 and 3400 if it wasen't for this site.

That's a crock of ####....... your 395 thread is 28 pages and growing.
Everybody knows you've switched brands. Acknowledgement, Acceptance, and then Enlightenment. Sounds like progress- not regress.
