... prefer the huskies for in the woods but this one is my go-to saw for firewood.
Thanks, personal preference, lighter, quicker revving, can throw them around a lot easier, i just always preferred huskies for work, dont get me wrong, Stihls are great saws, i own 3 i think, just im a husky guy ... basically its like Husky or Stihl, Nikon or Canon, Apple or Android, all are pretty much the same, just we tend to lean towards one or the other.
McCulloch yep, another old name, not sure now but used to make some good stuff...
Well as an ex forester its only fitting that i should go get the chainsaw badge, i moved onto other things but sometimes..just sometimes, i miss it.(Image removed from quote.)the things you do when your'e bored...This is my 029, had it for years, never missed a beat, prefer the huskies for in the woods but this one is my go-to saw for firewood.I got given this next one, i love it, 1949 Danarm(Image removed from quote.)Tore this one down, rebuilt it, painted it..got it fired up and it ran for 30 secs, piston ring snapped and scored the piston, i think something went wrong in the rebuild.. will try again one day as i really really want to drop a few trees with it.(Image removed from quote.)Its a heavy old saw, any rough ground its easier to just carry it than to drag it around on its wheels though.I have a healthy respect for the old timers that used these old saws day in day out, respect too for the guys using axes and cross-cuts
