new purchase "husqvarna with a difference"

[shavey]

yes i totally agree with you the older macs are best i got a 10-10 and a pro-mac 850 and it runs and cuts like hell its lovely to take out this loud beast out when your in an enclosed area and let rip and the sound bounces off everywhere

 

i couldnt bring myself too go and buy a chinese saw so this one fitted the bill it is a perfect match too fit on the sawhorse when iam too lazy to lift the wood onto the sawbench

 

and if the 560 starts playing silly beggers it will have to help out lol

 

but time will tell how it lasts :lol:

That a good attitude buy what ya need and what suits the pocket.

 

 

Yep you'll still will pick up Macs in the states but they getting to be collectors items lol But back in the day.....they were beasts

[shavey]

and i think alot of go-karts used mac engines in the 70s/80s

I'll pass on that I dunno anything bout em ......but huskie make motorcycles lol oh ans sewing machines too

Haha I bought a Chinese saw as all I needed it for was firewood. It has paid for it's self so many times over in just one season !

 

I would be surprised if husky built a saw using "cheaper or inferior" parts. Most things are re branded now.

 

Posting anything about a saw that isn't stihl or husky is always going to get negative comments!

True, all of the new macs, j'reds, and all the other husky owned companies are just rebranded and recoloured now!

Tbh, i still have ( and Use ) an old mac 335 with a 14 inch bar, its never lets me down, always runs, does what i ask of it. Both me and my dad use it for firewood. What more do you want. Now tho i do prefer my makita.

[shavey]

i spoke to a dealer last week who is getting me a new bar and chain for my sachs dolmar 133

 

and he put a 36" bar and chain on a standard of the shelf makita dcs7901 cutting a very large turkey oak butt and he was amazed how well the makita handled this bar so thumbs up:thumbup1:

 

and he sells husky and stihl as well

I can't see much similarity in those two saws pictured, except that they are both saws:001_smile:

 

Classic!

 

In a similar vein - I've repaired and run several Mcculloch strimmers and love them - in the case of these it's not the components at fault - opening them up all the problems stem from poor fitting - they seem to be put together by monkeys.
