Favourite Saw

[lewisyounger16]

Why..why...why..???
would you sell a 461..

Changed careers and went into Machining. Bought it new, used it well and looked after it. New owner is a happy man. Me? Not so much. Mistakes were made.

560 is technically our best saw but I do like our faithful 357 which in 10 years has never had an issue despite my very relaxed approach to maintenance. [emoji6]

I smell an intake manifold being needed at some point.

I've still got the sripped down relic of a husky 262 xp which I've kept with the intention of rebuilding one day . What a lovely lightweight super fast saw in its day. Was using it cutting riverside vegetation- grass weeds and scrub, as you do !!! When all the chaff packing around the cylinder went on fire. Threw it still running into the river and hydraulicked the crank an bearings etc. Parts is getting hard to come by now.

My other saw of choice though heavy enough is the previously named 066 with 24" and 36" bars ,will always do what I need, apart from start- one day I'll get a new choke/stop control rod.

The husky 266sg with hot handles is pure pleasure on frosty mornings and wet days.

loving the new 560xp at work!! just hope it doesnt play up.

038 is my pick. Cheap, built like a brick and will cut through, anything you throw its way.

560 is a really great saw right up until the pot and piston give up.
Going to try a 562 next.

357xp but ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................Honeybros were being generous with the discount button the other day so I grabbed a couple of Stihl`s, had a quick play with one of them and I think Stihl have closed the gap in the medium saw range.
