stihls are alot cheaper but been looking through the internet (as you do) and i have my eye on a Husqvarna Rancher 455

you wont go far wrong with a husky mate 15 ins bar on it and you will cut anything your going to need ....golden rule get some safty kit boots trouses and hat ..hp saws will rip a pound of flesh of you in a second .!! keep the blade sharp .... goood luck :thumbs:

Alright mate,used a stihl 362 about 2years ago and it was a bag of crap kept cutting out when it got warm as did the other 9 we had at work.since then weve bin using husky 357xp far better quality and no problems.the stihls were about 3months old when this started to happen.husky all the way.

I run 3 Husqvarna's or Jonsered (red, not orange) chainsaws.

They all earn a living, and are used heavily, i just prefer the ergonomics of the huskies to the Stihls.

I have a 2054, a 365 and a 2152, My favourite though is a 357xp, as stated, run a .325 semi pro chisel chain on a 15" bar..........they are the dogs danglies!!

hi mate,

i used to do tree surgery a few years back,and logging in the winters,and over that time ive seen many a differant types of saws,but the best saws on the market are husquavas,reliable,smooth,and consistent power,with chainsaws you can buy what i call a farmers saw which is a saw you use now and then,or a professional saw which you use every day,

keep the chain sharp,make shaw the woods clean before you cut it,and dont cut through the wood and dip the saw into the ground.
