Stihl v Husqvarna

[Baldbloke]

Sadly both have lost ground over last decade , hard to choose now K

It’s why I’m hoping my 10 year old saws will continue running until I’m past it[emoji3]

I literally cannot remember the last time I had to replace a pull cord, they used to snap through constant yanking of reluctant starters all the time.

The saws don't last long enough to wear them out now ?

I dunno, the sun is setting on my time in the trees, I think 4/5 more years then I’ll just do some gardening and mowing to finish off.

 

we’ll see, could all end Monday.

 

I often think of @Adam Bourne who had to knock it on the head in his thirties because of work related niggles.

 

At 54 I’ve been lucky (fingers crossed)

More noddle than luck Mick at 54 ( am 52 ) but wear n tear gets everyone even if we are lucky, k
