Bought my second Husky after owning a Husky Rancher 50 (bow saw)for 20 years. The rancher was still running stong, but I needed one that would cut through a 5' (through the middle) red oak that had fallen. It cut through that oak like soft butter. Huskys are AMAZING. They have more power than you will ever need. I have even bought a Husky blower. I have never had to take any of them to the shop except to replace a gas tank filter. I like quality and reliability. You may pay a little more, but you definately get what you pay for. I will hopefully never have to buy another chain saw or piece of yard equipement, but if I do, it will be a Husky.
