    New chainsaw!

    We live in a wooded setting and spring storms constantly bring down limbs and sometimes trees. This morning I woke up to a couple very large limbs out in our backyard, my old saw wasn’t up to the task so I drove over to the local Husqvarna dealer and picked up a new series 450, 20” cut, this is a great saw!

    I have the same saw.

    It started a BAD Husqvarna habit!

    It is all I run now (i.e. grass cutter, weed eater, edger, leaf blower, chain saws, etc.)

    Work is still work, but quality tools can make it a lot less tiring and aggravating.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    Nice man. I upgraded my saw last year. Night and day difference from my older saw for sure!

    I’m gonna be in the market for a new saw before long. I was kinda starting to look until all of this craziness started. Husky is on my short list.

    Sure do...they are basically KTM clones. Nice bikes though.

    I've been using a 455 rancher for about 20 years now. Had to replace the jug, piston and head once. But the thing will cut some wood!

    Been using a Rancher 55 for about 30 years now and never a problem!

    If I need a bigger one I borrow my brothers 272XP but that is rare to need it.

    I've got a 372XP. It's a beast. Best power to weight ratio saw I've ever owned!

    I've always owned Stihl, but did have one Husky and it was a good saw til I backed over it with our Bobcat. It didn't survive that.

    I have owned the identical same saw for a couple of years. Easy cranking and great torque. One of the lowest vibration saws I have ever used. WAY superior to a Lowes sold Husky model.

    Same saw here too. I like everything about it but I think it could be a little quieter. I definitely wear hearing protection

    Had a Husker for 30 years, finally scored a piston. Local dealer talked me into buying a Stihl. Not a bad saw, but doesn’t have the power the Husky did size for size.

    There’s nothing like a Husqvarna.

    I have a 55 rancher that is 20 years old, accidentally put straight gas in it and messed it up. It still runs but overheats pretty quick, I bought a new makita to replace it.
