Husky 137, time to move on...

[doddie82]

I have had my husky 137 since 2007, it's paid for its self several times over. I use it for firewood and felling of the odd tree. It's never let me down and is still very useful.

 

I have just got myself a 8 acre woodland, so I am looking to get a bigger saw. The 137 has a 14in bar, so I am looking to get a slightly bigger bar and more powerful motor.

 

I am confused to what I may need in the way of a saw as there are so many to choose from.

 

I have been looking at the Husky rancher 455 or 460 but also what bar size should I go for.

 

Thank you

In that price range I'd spend a little more and get a 550, runs all day with a 15" bar and nice and light. I'm running a 13" bar right now just to make it a little more flick able.

Bar length depends on what diameter you wish to cut.
