Felling big willows

[Rob D]

Stihl users are usually poofish arborialists with long hair, bangles and a battered LDV. They keep them polished in a special case, and cry if it rains on their precious saw.

They are obsessed with all things stihl (or should I say still - you hardly ever see them moving) to the point of wearing tight strechy stihll pants, vests, socks, hair scrunchies, scarves. They run best on a combination of shandy and perfume, and thats if they ever can get them started. It does'nt matter if they cant get them started though, as they are usually working in some old dears garden charging £100000 to dismantle one little cherry.

Husky's on the other hand, are proper mens machines, will work in the forest all day, you could leave one buried in a bog for a year and it would still start with half a pull. They are that powerfull and economical that they have inverse fuel consumption - you occasionaly have to open the cap and pour the excess fuel out. Husky users eschew fancy PPE, and can usually be seen as a busy blur of pulpwood and sawlogs wearing jeans and a vest, and thats at 6 in the morning. lunches are taking without even letting go of the throttle, tea heated on the exhaust.

 

So are you a Stihl or a Husky man then Ed !!

Thanks for the comments guys.

For the record the next saw i buy will probably be a stihl.

That 385 has been a great saw and still runs well, nice up a tree too... the 357 has been a dog and will be replaced with a ms361 when I get round to it.
