254xp The best saw ever made!

[rbtree]

i had its predecessor, the 154 SE, prolly the same saw.....I'd imagine that my 357 would out cut it..... in stock form...but, of the 2 357's I've had, I've never run them stock, but with full woods mods. Then, they'll whip up on a 460, 440, 372 if those are stock.

My 254 xp rips, I used it recently on leaning Willows and Poplars and the speed of cutting was a pleasure.

I have an old 154SE in the shed. The 254 was virtually identical. One of the best things about those era of Husky's was their superb robustness.

Thought it sounded strange - but the chap was trying to sell me a new 357xp (think thats the right one)

 

Problem for him is I dont use huskys as a rule, prefer the Stihl.

 

 

Matt that is because you went to the dark side, one day you will see the light and buy a Husky, then my son you will be a man

 

I've got 2 254xp's in the shed, bombproof [unlike the shed it's falling down:scared1:]

 

ps Was it Dennis that was trying to sell you a saw

I've got 2 of them, they're great. I also have a 357 which, now its had a new carb is als going well. I love the simple robust design of the 254 though.

I've got a 254 XPG (heated handles) and it's a real beaut, especially in this weather!!!!! I'm always amazed at how powerful it is. It really punches above it weight!!!!

You sure you didn't mean Bob?.

[Gary Bevan]

ye i would agree i recently bought a 254xp it needs tuning but it barks tho

[Quickthorn]

Same as all the above. It's a fantastic saw, with a bit of lower end torque as well - doesn't seem to bog down like newer saws sometimes do. And to think I got mine as a swap for a tired old 026

[Peter]

I have a 254, but the king of saws surely is the 020T?
