haha I knew you'd be along, Ray. That's why I included the second part.
I'm a big believer in Stihl.
The list includes:
(2) KM110
TS400
(2)MS460
MS210
MS290
BR600
will be addin an MS361.
Keep in mind that is between me, dad, and my brother. My brother left his 460 sitting all winter without even so much as looking at it. Nothing special done to it. Pulled it out the following spring and it fired right up like it never missed a day.

That's impressive, gives new meaning to the term 5 o'clock shadow. I shave once/twice a week just to keep peace with the Mrs. Somethings aren't worth fussing about.And folks give us crap here in Arkansas about brother's marring sisters...aren't you hanging with family this week? .
In reality, I am fairly hairless, other than the 5lbs of hair on the top of my head.

Ray I'd honestly like to try running a husky saw but we've only ever owned stihl. They do put forth some very compelling arguments. I really don't think you can go wrong with either one. And btw we've never touched anything but the chain on the company 460. It's gotta be a good 3 or 4 years old now at least.

Stihls are great little saws, I would definately have one around for my wife to use.
I have a husky for myself though, Ive worked enough years in the bush and have experienced enough saws to know that I like the Husq's.
Evening all, hope everyone had a good day today!

Here's a part of the land I have been clearing. It was as thick as can be. Mostly just small trees and suckers - and a handfull of those barbed wire bushes (man those things are TOUGH). I still have one Barbed Wire Bush to take out.. I am NOT looking forward to it. I have some used motor oil.. I might just try and burn it out.
