An unusual Huskie

[rowan lee]

A Mate sent me these photos from his European road trip in his beloved Troopie. A recent stop in Huskvarna, S.Sweden led him to the Husqvarna museum where he spotted this unusual saw - apparently used for felling in deep snow.

 

Also a lunge at humour Swedish style i suppose

I love that second picture! " hey you if you don't get out of that tree i'll chop it down"

You'd at least expect the guy on the left to be ready to catch her.

He only seems interested in holding his big tool and grinning at his mate who's got a smaller one.

This in top pic is the 262XPH.

Made for Russian market and replaced by 365 now.

 

It is the only type of saw that works there.

Husqvarna made this to compete with the Russian saws Ural and Druzba.

There are conventional Russian saws too, but they won't work in some areas.

 

That pic from museum is pretty frech. They rebuilt saw section last year I think.

 

I can also add the names of the saws from the ad:

To left is MS90, to right Husqvarna 70.

So who is the Arbgirl in the ad Magnus ? Is she in any other old ads ? What year is this from ?

This girl I can't say for sure, but the year is around '62 something.
