It was actually still running when I gave it away. It needed that under-deck muffler replaced and a new pull cord ***'y. I figured I'd go get a new one and was bummed when I saw all 4-cycle. But like I said, so far, I'm pleased with it -- it's not my old trusty 2-stoke, but it's done well for me over the last 8 years.

I really wish I could've gotten my Grandfather's LawnBoy. It was even electric start!!

It all depends on which dealer you prefer.

My "local" Husky dealership is a 30 minute ride and they never have anything in stock. My STIHL dealer is 5 minutes away and takes good care of me.

We've had probably a half dozen stihl chainsaws and only disliked one. That was the MS210C which has that idiotic tool-less garbage on it.

I gave that one away and bought myself an MS290. Much more power and much less aggravation.
Is "Husky" the same as Husqvarna?

I've heard very good things about the prodigy, but if I was getting a controller I'd get the Tekonisha P3.

Ray, I must have missed something, do you own a shop that sells this equipment or something?

I would be game for a good quality weed wacker, but the shipping would probably kill me lol.

I could also use a smaller saw. The woman likes doing trimming with the chainsaw but mine is a little too big for her to use for the stuff she needs it for.

I have the prodigy in truck and would rather fight than switch
It's really easy to set up when you pull different trailers and load all the time also

Looks like I'll be going with a Prodigy.

I was looking at a P3 so that just confirms what I was thinking.

Thanks, guys.
