Here is a comment regarding the ongoing neverending debate of Stihl vs Husky...

Ask anyone who has been an open minded "industrial user" and they will mostly agree that there is hardly a dimes worth of difference beteen the two brands for comparable sizes. Weigh about the same, about the same HP, B U T it seems there may be a significant difference in warranty.

The larger saws, called PRO model saws by Stihl, when purchased in the US only have a 90 day warranty! If you buy one from Canada for delivery in the US, it has no warranty!

Husky carries a 2 year homeowner use warranty. So for essentially equal saws at equal prices, why not go for the Husky with 8 times as long of a warranty????? If you are a pro logger you need not respond! For the majority of us, we'd get the benefit of the longer warranty.
