Exactly. I’ve been a Husqy guy over the years because they have been generally easier to service in the brush. But, Stihl remains the standard for good reason. As @Smokin Joe says, the Dolmar has a rep for power. I think some of the Makita’s are Dolmars in camo. Dealer service can be a headache if you need it.
Most of the pros where I hang out sling Stihls.
@Lando Lincoln Yup.
I am a Husqvarna guy too. But mostly because my Homelite store went Husqvarna when Homelite sold out to the big box stores and dried up their parts network.
And I like working on Husqvarna better than Stihl, though I guess I would have to say Stihl is a smidgen better to operate in the field. I still think I like a Homelite 410 from back in the day better than either for cold weather... If they hadn't betrayed us all, I'd have never left.
And my timber framing saw, believe it or not, the one I trust for straight cuts is an old Mac 10-10 with a 24" bar and a skip tooth chain. Go figger. I have been rebuilding that ol Mac for thirty years. So I will give McCulloch a hat tip from way back in the day, though they have no dealer out here, so I won't be buying a new one without dealer support (same dumb thing Homelite did, I think)
