Getting to be time for a new saw.
Have been using a Stihl 038 AV for the past 20+ years and though it has been a great saw the time has come to turn it into a back up machine.
See the Husqvarna's are on sale right now and I am considering the 455 Rancher with an 18 inch bar.
20 years ago My Stihl with 20 inch bar was almost twice as much as a new Husqvarna is on sale for now.
Anybody have anything good or bad to say of these?
Not sure what to think of what they call a consumer grade saw, is it overpriced offshore junk or are they worth the money?
Looks like Stihl offers a similar line.
Saw gets used for clearing fence lines and a few cords of firewood a year so is the professional line worth the extra dollars?
