Outside of work, I had a Jonsered 2045 on a long term borrow for weekend work.

 

The first saw I bought myself was a old Husqvarna 162 for £40.

 

Did four jobs with it and then it seized.

 

Replaced it in 1998 with a hardly used s/h Husqvarna 262xp for £150.

 

Got 15" and 20" bars for it.

 

It has been my 'Go-To' saw until I retired it a couple of years ago.

 

Super powerful, ultra reliable, lovely balanced, do anything saw that has earnt me a fortune over the years.

 

... but probably cost me the feeling in my fingers.

 

Its still in the shed, and starts and runs spot on.

 

The Stihl MS361 is the only thing that comes close, power, weight and balance wise, the anti-vibes are superb, just a shame you can't run it effectively on .325 chain.

Bought a husky 2100 & 254 in the same week. The former 2nd hand & turned out to be junk. 254 was a great saw & still got a running one in the shed- not for everyday use though
