STIHL v HUSQVARNA .. Boy do people ever get passionate about that . I reckon I might favour Husky a bit due to a 25 y.o. Jonsered brushcutter basically trouble free which is now part of Husqvarna I believe AND that I decided to buy one of these this week . No real desperate need but just liked it at the price $349 ..Great harness too . Got it yesterday .

My dealer told me the first consignment of these sold really well and the next lot are on order . I got the last one.. |
Just bought a husky chainsaw 236 model, it’s lovely, quiet, easy to start, but I run out of things to cut down, I enjoy it that much.
Stihl make great machines, I bought a FS38 line trimmer 3 years ago, only now has it been hard to start, so is in getting fixed.
But my huge eye opener has been my ozito LI battery powered telescopic hedge pruner. I have a shindaiwa 2stroke hedge trimmer, which has been great, but I was sick of lugging it up ladders to prune topiary, and getting headaches from the fumes. I fully intended to buy the ryobi set up, but it was more money for less features and warranty. Geez, the LI battery tech has come a long way, I bought a 4.0AH Battery for it, goes for ages and charges quick. No fumes, headaches or ladders.
