[QUOTE="unindexed, post: 478607, member: 14446"] I'm a small engine mechanic and Husqvarna and Stihl dealer here in norcal. In my opinion either brand is great what's more important is fit and function. As mentioned above go with a local dealer that can service or rent pair it, not all dealers carry both Stihl and husky. As for echo and another throw away, draft brands ( Homelite, Poulan craftsman and so on) these saw are so cheap more than often the cost more to fix than the cost of a new saw. If you don't have a saw currently [url=https://wisepick.org/best-cordless-chainsaw/]I would recommend[/url] no less than a 20" saw. I a Stihl I'd go with the ms261 it's their 20" pro model. I husky the 545 would be their 20" pro saw. If you chose to go with the consumer model I would go with the Stihl ms291 still a 20" saw (Keep in these are max bar lengths for these models). Also, keep in mind that most of the new Stihl and husky saw have automatically adjusting carbs, Stihl's are called m-tronic and husky is called autotune. Stihl's m-tronic carbs have been working well I have many in the field both pro's and consumer's. Husky's autotune carbs have had problems in some models the husky 545 I mentioned earlier is the only one that the bugs seem to be worked out of, I would stay away from other husky autotune models for a while.
