New Saw time to replace 266

[david wood]

So i am looking for the advice, reviews or recommendations of the forum before i send jonsie some more money for a shiny new saw

 

Just sold my 266 so looking to replace it with something no smaller cc, preferably a 20 inch bar.

 

Its not used for felling just for firewood and only a day or three's worth a year.

 

Preferably husky as local dealer is good.

 

Thanks all

you fiend, how could you sell your trusty 266..lol

[Old WoodChip]

Why did you sell, I sold mine years ago & regretted it ever since.

Best saws on the market STILL going strong (no that was not Stihl lol)

266 lasts forever, easy to work on & never let you down...... got me in tears now :-(

[david wood]

I made a profit selling it from when i bought it 2nd hand a few years ago

 

Dealer reckoned he had sold it 17 years ago, then bought it back.

 

I hope i dont regret selling it

Yup - 266 bullet proof:thumbup:

 

If you are using the saw only a few times a year and need a light revvy saw with good anti vibe then I rate the 345/350 Huskys, some say the exhausts come loose but I have never had this problem.

 

They are good saws and will not break your back if you use it for a few hours.

 

If you are flush and want a pro saw then the 346XP needs no introduction!

Sorry should have added i already have a 357 xp with 15 inch bar.

 

Wondering about a 372 - whats the opinion on these?

small saw = a husky 346xp, medium saw = husky 576xp, large saw = husky 3120xp
